High fat (F) along with high sugar (S) combined with stress (St) is the recipe for fat gain.
.
I can hear the calorie zealots now scoffing at the ridiculousness of this assertion. Sure, you can get fat overeating anything, including broccoli and chicken breasts... except that it's virtually impossible for any living human to do.
.
A high fat/sugar combination has been shown in mammals to completely disrupt the normal metabolic regulation that occurs with either high fat or high sugar diets. So, this combo is not only a higher calorie diet, but it seems to have the impact of assuring we continue to crave high fat, high sugar foods in the future as well. The combo alters brain chemistry in a way that disrupts the natural ability to self-regulate calorie intake.
.
Fat + Sugar = Willpower Sabotage – Here's how it works: You have a control center for appetite in your brain that resides in the hypothalamus. There are chemicals that stimulate eating: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti related peptide (AGRP). And there's a chemical that suppresses food intake: Proopiomelanocortin (POMC). Think of NPY and AGRP as feeding gas pedals. They make us hungry and make us eat. Think of POMC as the brakes on food intake. If you're wondering how hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin figure into this, they work by impacting these chemicals.
.
Two diets containing the same number of calories can impact these hunger regulation chemicals differently. Fat and sugar in combination short-circuit the hunger centers, resulting in a constant desire for food.
