High-Fat?
Now we now that empty carbs and added sugars — not fat — are the real devils making Americans chubby and diabetic. However, now health experts fear that this switcheroo is about to spark a new diet fad that’s also problematic: eating too much fat.
“Everyone is talking about how healthy fats are, so people are starting to eat too much,” Mangieri says. “They’re eating almonds and avocados all day long and wondering why they’re gaining weight. It’s simple: They’re eating too many calories. Calories aren’t everything, but they still matter.”
Don’t fixate on increasing your fat intake, Mangieri says. Instead, shoot for a balanced ratio of fat, protein, and healthy carbohydrates so you’ll get enough fat without overdoing it.
