YOU CAN ACTUALLY GAIN FAT ON A FAT-FREE DIET...
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?...
Through a process called LIPOGENESIS (LIPO = FAT, GENESIS = BIRTH OF)...
Your body can actually CREATE NEW FAT out of carbohydrates...
Let's take a classic fat free breakfast... a bagel with orange juice...
That's at least 100 grams of carbs (well over the per meal limit of 30 grams!)...
When excessive carbs trigger INSULIN, your fat cells take up the carbs that are in the bloodstream...
Your fat cells very conveniently and efficiently convert those carbohydrates into fat within the fat cell... that is the process of LIPO-GENESIS...
Some folks are still suffering from the FAT FREE push that bombarded is through the 80's and 90's... juice, cereal, skittles, muffins, bagels, pretzels, crackers, pasta... it was all "fair game" due to a generation of health professionals who ignored (or were ignorant of) the science of hormones and figured that eating fat meant gaining fat, and that eating carbs meant not gaining fat...
Again, we're advocates of a MODERATE carb lifestyle (less than 100 grams of carbs per day for most) in which results can be enhanced by clean nutrition, consistent and intense workouts, and targeted nutritional supplementation...
Hope this was helpful!
