most dietry "facts" are based on the nutritional information of the food stuff as is IN THE PACKAGE.
(it even admits it on the label, if you read it)
this does not take into consideration what happens IN THE BODY.

some folk, even respected instructors, think that the amount you eat directly correspond to the amount you uptake, it DOESNT.

Atkins diet proved it doesnt. (hence all the kafuffle now going on among nutritionalists)
-though genuine scientists have been saying that for years, but no one would pay or these findings to be published, cause no one could make money from the info.

"eat fat= store fat. that simple." "the more you eat the more weight you put on"

no actually.
the fat in your body is stored energy. but the energy comes from carbohydrates, and in the body in excess carbs are then altered and stored as FAT.
when short on carbs, your body will take the fat, break it down, and used the stored energy.
the amount of fat you eat has absolutley bugger all to do with the amount of fat on your body.
you body doesnt really need fat in pure source, as it can make it fine. thus
fat in the diet gets pretty much ignored as it passes through the intestine and you shit alot of it back out.



however, a high fat diet is bad for cholesterol and thus for yer heart- i'm told.



yes,
low fat foods are worse for you than hfoods with higher fat but less sugar.



hey,
shouldnt instructors have atleast a basic knowledge of metabolism??
i dont see how folk can be allowed to teach things they have no info or mis-information on.
(though all things turn out to be wrong if you allow enough time to pass.)
