Do high fat diets cause more of an increase in body fat than do high carbohydrate or high protein diets?
- High fat diets may encourage extra fat storage even when Calories are the same, while a high carbohydrate intake is more readily converted to energy
- People tend to overconsume Calories when their diets are high in fat.
- In a mixed diet, these findings may not be significant!
