Appropriate diet: The key is understanding what causes weight gain. Just eating fat does not cause weight gain. Weight gain is the response to hormone stimulus. There are a number of hormones that stimulate weight gain including Insulin and cortisol. The main stimulus for weight gain in about 80% of the population is over production of Insulin in response to carbohydrate intake.
