A while ago I watched a doco with the UK twin doctors Xander and Chris. One ate sugar/carbs the other fats for a month. Neither of them put on weight. They start talking to scientists who said that it's only when the two are combined that the mice put on weight. Think chocolate, icecream, doughnuts etc.
I eat very little of that.
But then past me ate more of those things and I am still paying the price.
My point is my diet was mostly good. It was just a few treats a week ( I might get 2 donuts from qvm or some lollies each week or have a few icecreams )
with even so few mistakes over the years I still put on a lot of weight.
Oh I'm not saying you do I just found it really interesting. I'm trying to find the show for you to watch. It talked about diabetes and other stuff. It was just fascinating and easy to follow.
