I want to know what everyone thinks the reasoning of "why" we get fat, not how.
We are eating more calories on average than we did just a few decades ago, but the question is why. If I get any replies that'd be great, I thought this would be a fun exercise.
I might as well explain them don't you think?:
Setpoint theory: We have a "fat thermostat" that likes to keep us within 10-35% within a weight
Food reward is obvious
Leptin is a cytokine (special proinflammatory protein) that signals satiety to the brain
Carbohydrates are 4kcals/g, they only create lipogenesis in petree dishes
Fat is 9kcals/g, everyone knows what this is hopefully
And yes, I put the carbohydrate hint.
