The food fad people tend to mix up the ideas about food and energy. The stand by energizer is glycogen, or sugar to make it simpler. We start out with a small supply of sugar, which makes us dislike physical activity at first.
- The good part is that once we use up that little bit of sugar alone, our bodies can start burning fat. Food fad people get everyone twisted up in knots. We get a lot more energy from fat burning, but what do we do?
- Start with fat products for breakfast.
- Add sugar for breakfast. Or orange drink.
- Put fake cream in coffee on the way to work, and add some bakery items to cover the bad flavor of the coffee.
Our bodies want to burn fat for efficiency but we store excess fat by adding fat and sugar to meals.
As a veteran of all the delights of a bakery and donut shop, I can freely admit that even a passel of donuts will leave anyone hungry and lethargic, thanks to the sugar/fat combination.
The food industry has accepted the challenge to turn ordinary over-eating into fad over-eating, or fad-starvation tricks that end in making up for the weight lost - and then some.
