Why Eating Fat doesnt Actually Make You Fat

• Over the past fifty or so years, there has
  been strong debate as to what actually causes you
  to gain weight. Funnily enough, it is a
  misconception that eating fatty food is the
  culprit. Whilst a balanced diet should consist of
  some fat, it is the natural fats found in foods
  like nuts, avocados, olive oil and all the other
  unsaturated fat foods.
• It is trans-fats, or processed fats found in
  fast-foods that will raise your cholesterol
  levels, and put a strain on your health.

• It is not fats that are the reason for the
  rise in obesity it is sugar. Particularly
  processed sugar. Excess consumption of processed
  sugars that the body cannot metabolise are stored
  in the liver and eventually converted to fat.
  This fat is stored within the bodys cells and
  the physical representation of this, is you gain
  weight.

• Fat is an energy source that requires oxygen
  to burn it, if you exercise at high intensity,
  your body will look to burn carbohydrates and
  glucose to release energy. This is why
  low-intensity exercise such as brisk walking is a
  good weight-loss tool because the body will look
  to burn its excess fat stores.

• Fat got the bad rap for making us fat because
  sugar is big business. The rise in heart disease
  during the latter half of the 20th century can be
  directly attributed to our increased consumption
  of processed sugars in things like fast-foods.

• Fat is something we have been eating since
  time began, as is the case with natural sugars
  found in fruit. Processed sugars found in
  fast-food is something weve been ingesting for
  not even a century. Our bodies are simply not
  equipped to efficiently deal the sheer volume of
  processed sugar we consume.
• So, we get fat.
