And so fads in food come around full circle.
I can vouch that, although I am seriously pudgy today, when a child I could scarcely hang onto an ounce of body weight. And so I think I spoiled myself. I could scarf down whatever I wished; now I have to watch, watch, watch.
I think fat in the diet has itself been made into much more of a fiend than it needs to be. Fat helps food have staying power and be satisfying.
we ate tremendous amts of food...but we never had chips or candy or a lot of sweets...homemade cookies were made occasionally...we never had soda except if you were sick my father would bring home ginger ale...ginger ale solved everything...
my weight was pretty good until I got married...we started drinking soda a lot and eventually diet soda and non fat milk.....both of our weights just went up and up...
Though of course note that as a child your metabolism is higher than as an adult
This is true. Fat is necessary to produce good HDL. Fat will also slow down the sugar impact, so that your blood sugar doesn’t spike and cause a need for more insulin.
Insulin causes hunger. A treatment for anorexia used to involve giving the patients insulin injections for this reason.
Plus Butter from grass fed cows has more Vitamin K2. This is a fat soluble fat that is needed to keep Calcium going into your bones instead of collecting in your arteries.
Vitamin K2 has been almost totally deleted from our food supply due to the commercial production methods. 2 oz of Gouda cheese per day will just about get you the daily requirement. Egg yolks are pretty decent sources too.
