Fat and weight gain

[Guest guest]

I believe that some people can become fat on a high fat diet as well. But I

do know that fat has 9 calories per gram. So if you are a sedentary

individual or say a toll booth operator who just sits and doesn't perform

some form cardio or weight training you're sure to gain weight. I do believe

in Metabolic Typing and the fact that some people do well on Hight protein

diets and some people do well on higher carb diets. But if you're looking to

be as healthy as possible I think NT is for everyone. But if you're trying

to lose weight or have esthetic goals it may not be the best thing for

EVERYBODY. I know that Fat doesn't cause an insulin response so if insulin

isn't elevated fat will not be stored. BUT! I do believe that calories do

count in some instances. One thing I want to mention also is that on this

forum we are all trying to eat as our ancestors did but were not getting the

total package. Were forgetting something very important that they also did.

Our ancestors moved allot!! They hunted there meals, they picked vegetables

and walked miles on end to the ocean to fish. Our ancestors were very

active! We all know that eating this way is beneficial but eating the NT way

without exercise is like expecting to see changes in health by exercising

and eating like crap. Some people see incredible benifits from the NT diet

just imagine if they put the whole package together.
