This drives me crazy. People have this totally misguided notion of how food works. It makes intuitive sense: fat taken into the body becomes fat on the body. But it ain't so. I'm not a huge low-carber, and I definitely don't go for the whacky/extreme stuff like Atkins, but I lost 55 pounds a few years ago (and have kept it off) by reading up on nutrition and fitness and basically following the G.I. (glycemic index) diet. (And also by working out a lot more than I had been.) So take that for what it's worth: one anecdotal data point. I did a lot more reducing of starches and sugars than I did of fat in my diet. Eating fat does not make you fat. This drives me crazy. People have this totally misguided notion of how food works.
