yep, so did I. I also gained weight eating just fruit and vegetables....no dressings because I hate lf dressings. Actually, no added fat....just plain, raw fruits and mostly raw veggies.

All I know is that I starved myself for years and still either gained or mantained, and LC is the only thing that works for me at all.

That's fat stored in the body - it is an integral part of the endocrine system....yes, I've seen it.

I was, however, talking about dietary fat - it is considered neutral when eaten since it doesn't stimulate digestive hormones when consumed like protein, carbohydrate and alcohol do.

Yes, that seems right - when I was reading about replacement hormones I learned that fat cells produce some female hormones, especially estradone (a type or part of estrogen).

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Now back to the blog...
