I hope you were just kidding… Gummy bears are fat free too and I can get plenty fat from those. Hell we all got fatter in the 90’s from a “fat free” diet…
Malonyl -CoA exists in high amounts when there is plenty of metabolic fuel present. Thus, carnitine acyltransferase is inhibited and
this in turn prevents acyl-CoA from crossing into the cell?s mitochondria. Another enzyme is inhibited by the presence of NADH and Thiolase is also inhibited by the presence of Acetyl-COA. In short, when a lot of glucose is present, fatty acid metabolism is inhibited.
Actually,low carb diets dominated much of the late 90’s…and America became fatter.
People don’t get addicted eating an apple or two.
If an obese person ate an apple for every sweet he craved I bet you he’d never get fat.
On the other hand,people do get addicted to eating refined sugar and trans fat filled snacks that are filled with ingredients like MSG to purpasly make you hungry and eat more.
Pizza and much asian food in America is a good example.
I remember my grandfather telling me about the days when he’d have watermelon in summer when it was hot.
None of the kids he grew up with were obese.
Something could be higher on the glycemic chart and actually not spike your insulin much.
Check out the insulin index sometime.

regardless of GI ect, it simply comes down to the energy in vs energy out ratio. You can get fat eating anything if it is too much according to this equation.
