I can't believe this guy is a doctor.
This doesn't make any sense. The body is always converting food into fat and is always burning the converted fat. They're ungoing process that happens every moment, whether you gain or lose depends enterily on the the balance between between storing and releasing at the end of the day. I know there are people who believe that if you do something your body won't convert nutrients to fat but this is not how the body works and it's an unscientific view of metabolism. Eating alone triggers lipogenesys and anabolism. I'm not hacking this thread by cherry picking a sentence, but I think that people would be greatly helped by knowing how lipogenesys and lipolysis really work. There's no "this food will get converted to fat, this one won't"
