Now fruit juice makes you fat.

Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostThe bit on carbs is relevant to why sugar (which is in fruits, albeit in small quantities usually) can keep you from losing weight. It's not so much that it makes you fat, as it is that the body will prioritise burning it over fat for energy, so it allows fat to stockpile. For some perspective on how much sugar is actually in fruit, there's this.Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostFat and oil are hugely calorific. Olive oil has twice the calories per gram as white sugar for instance, butter is nearly as bad.
1. in real life people who exchange sugar calories for fat calories tend to eat fewer calories, not the same number of grams.
2. they have different effects on your metabolism, so the sugar (especially fructose) tends to get stored as fat, whereas the fat tends to get used as energy (this is only a verbal paradox, not a biological one). I.e. if you get most of your calories from sugar you get fat, and therefore become a couch potato (not the other way round as the sellers of sugar would like to tell you).
3. the fat does not trigger the same insulin response and so does is not so likely to lead to insulin resistance.Comment

This. I've lost shedloads of weight following a low carb high fat diet. Yes, I have combined the increased fat intake with a reduction in carbohydrates and lots of running but there is no doubt that eating fat has reduced my overall calorie intake and I feel satiated for longer.
The bodies ability to fuel itself during exercise on stored fats as opposed to carbohydrates is something more people should look into imho. Paleo / LCHF eating is the way forward as far as I am concerned.Comment

Pure 100% orange juice contains a fair bit of fructose; but cheap orange juice, especially the fizzy stuff, also contains loads of added sugar.
It's amazing that the Government is always on about obesity but lets manufacturers get away with selling this nauseating muck without at least taxing it through the roof.
Even many medicinal products like Rennies and liquid cough mixture also contain loads of added sugar. You'd think at least they would refrain from adding it!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
