Want to know why the Americans are steadily becoming more and more obese as a population? It's bcause the way you think about food is all wrong. You think of fats as enemies, and forget everything else. Have you ever considered this concept to be incorrect? I guess not. See, there are different types of fats - some are good, some are bad. Mostly it's the saturated fats which are really bad for you. You also have to think about carbohydrates. They are good for you, in moderate amounts! But could be the real reason for weight gain, because people don't think of them as being fatty, but they are, unless we burn them off. The key is to make a balance, to keep insulin levels ( and other hormone levels) even. By the way, I'm fourteen years old, and I know this. You should check out this book called @The Zone'. It's brill, my Mum (yes, Mum, not Mom, cos I am English) swears by it!
