I was kidding. All the talk about fat and I was interested to see what bacon would lead to
Although I will say that a hyuuge breakfast is one of the keys to everything. Including keeping down fat. When people say that breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day they are right on, imo. It is no coincidence to me that people are becoming more and more obese, eating more and more, and yet skipping breakfast more and more...or just having some frosted flakes. Couple that with the "not eating after 6 or whenever" and you have an extended fast resulting in gulp, fat hoarding, not to mention fluctuations in sugar levels thoughtout the day leading to the same. One reason 0311 isn't putting on a lot of fat is that he eats a lot of WHOLE eggs too. There I said it, fat helps. Even bacon in that regard would do some people good. And I'm only posting all this cuz 0311 gets touchy if I don't post in his journal
.
It is exactly like you say, 0311, people act like "if you eat fat you'll get fat". I had said before, in another thread, that if you want to look at scientific studies on this milk issue, whole milk has led to LESS fat gain than fat free and low fat milk in the few studies. This obviously isn't comprehensive but it does serve to back up your point that fat doesn't always make you fat.
