STUDY: EATING FOOD CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN

by

LONDON – Β A new comprehensive study out of Cambridge University suggests that Β the more you eat, the more weight you gain.
Eating more makes you gain weight. Β Who would have thought that?
Thanks to a newly released study by top nutritional scientists at Cambridge University (a study partially funded by the United States), there is now conclusive proof that eating food will cause a human being to gain weight.
But don’t get all excited about NOT eating food in order to loss weight. Β The study also found that NOT eating can also make human being gain weight. Β Eating a normal amount of food may also make you gain weight. Β In fact, just being a human makes a human gain weight.

Sound crazy? Β That’s what we thought. Β But we looked into the study a bit closer…
Cambridge University spent the last twenty years studying weight gain in men and women between the ages of 1 and 99. Β The study cost upwards of $30 million to complete. Β “It was the most comprehensive study done on weight gain in the history of mankind,” said Professor Robert Gilmeade of Cambridge.
“We would observe each subject for seven consecutive days, each month, over a several year period. Β We kept a food diary for each person. Β We also had a ‘control group’ that would abstain from eating for seven consecutive days, each month, over a three-four year period. Β  Our conclusion: Β eating food Β causes people to gain weight.”
“It might sound like a ridiculous study to many, but there it is a weight gain theory that has been around for centuries and we needed to determine whether it was true or not. Β There have been some groups of people on the planet that have eaten very little food and gained weight, and there have been many groups of people who eat large quantities of food and have NOT gained weight. Β So is it the food or is the activity level? Β Or is it just genes? Β That’s what we tried to determine,” said Β Professor Gilmeade.

“Babies are fed food and they grow, but then at a certain point they stop growing and their bodies just metabolize the food,” said Β Professor Rory Bansteed, who assisted Professor Gilmeade in the study. Β “Some adults gain weight, some don’t. Β Some gain weight and lose weight and others just stay the same weight their entire lives. Β That’s what we found.”
Cambridge plans on releasing the findings of the study to the public in the next week. Β “Many people make a resolution to lose weight when a New Year begins. We think that the data we gathered in the study will help people make better food choices and make them realize that if you eat too much, you will gain weight.
Bottom line: Β it’s your genes.
But here are some groundbreaking findings in the study:
1) CALORIES. Β If you eat more Β than 4,000 calories a day – whether you are a man or Β a woman – you will gain weight.
2) BEDTIME EATING. Β  If you eat over 800 calories right before you go to sleep, you will gain weight. Β (Sumo wrestlers use this technique to put on pounds for competition).

3) STRAWBERRY SHAKES. Β Surprisingly, it does not matter how Β many of these you drink… even if you have only one in any given month, you will gain weight.
4) EXERCISE. Β It’s Β overrated. Β  You may lose weight, but you might not. Β Or course, you need to exercise to keep your heart in good shape, and your body toned. Β Other than that, it doesn’t matter much in terms of weight.
5) DRINKING ALCOHOL. Β Makes you gain weight. Β It also makes you make bad food choices, which also makes you gain weight.
6) DONUTS. Β Not as bad as you think. Β One or two a day is Β fine. Β  Eating one or two bananas a day causes just as much weight gain. Β Ergo, bananas equal donuts.
7) FAT WORLD. Β We’re all getting fatter. Β The average person weights 50 pounds more today than a person living in 1912.
8) PIZZA. Β Cheese may clog Β your arteries, but does it make you gain weight? Β  Not really. Β You can eat three to four slices a day and it has no effect unless you are sitting in a chair all day.
9) BREATHING. Β Some people gain weight just by breathing.
10) FORKLIFT. Β If you have to be forklifted out of your house – Β you’ve gained too much weight.
11) THIN PEOPLE. Β  They just have good genes. That’s it. Β Some of them eat more than you do. Β Just the luck of the draw… but some of them turn into “Food Β Bullies.”
12) PROFESSORS AT CAMBRIDGE? Β Generally, they reveal that they are in better shape than most people, especially Americans.
13) CHINA. Β Most Chinese citizens are thin. Β Most Americans are fat. Β Why is this? Β The study doesn’t say why, just shares the data.

14) VEGETABLES. Β  Vegetables also make you gain weight. Β Tofu, too.

15) BABIES. They gain the most. Β They usually double their body weight in six weeks. Β Most adults don’t do that.
That’s it. Β WWN will report the full findings of the report when it is released next week.

  14. Start your day by drinking the water, make sure that you drink the water before you eat something, and while you are eating, drinking water can make you feel sooner so you would feel full before you eat much. Therefore, you would be able to lose weight in 2 weeks

  16. Chinese citizens are thin because they drink tea. Tea is hot and hot water melts fats and oils.
    No offense but this is a stupid study and a waste of money, time and effort. Isn't it obvious that you gain weight when you eat?

  28. Hard to believe that much money was spent to conclude that eating causes weight gain. LOL… Calories in, calories out + exercise. Make good choices, eat in moderation and choose good organic foods..You can lose the weight.

  29. I think I should start eating food with calories if this can gain weight. I am hopelessly hoping to gain weight. I see myself as a malnourished woman. Though some friends been telling me to just be satisfied with my figure because some of them are really big.

  32. Learn to eat the right foods to construct muscle. Knowing which foods to nibble on rather than to consume when attempting to bring along on muscle can help you save a lot of time in your efforts. When you get the appropriate nutrition, you have to have no problems gaining a large amount of muscle. Just a thought!

  37. I think an article like this is informative and beneficial to understand what and how much you should put into your body, but it's also articles like this that make people think that food is the ONLY thing that causes weight gain, which is a common misconception. Yes, it may be true that most Asian peoples are slimmer than Americans, and yes, it has to do with genes, but that doesn't mean we should generalize. There are some overweight Asian people's and some scary-thin American people. But when it comes to genes, it doesn't mean that your body only reacts to food-consumption. There are a lot of people who have amazingly high metabolism. And yet, genes also include health issues, such as problems with the thyroid gland or rare illnesses that don't help with weight gain. Moreover, medication can affect weight and hormone levels. I was amazed to see very little articles about health issues or other that can cause weight gain, but they are out there. It's all about the food! While it's good to be aware of food consumption, it is also good not to solely blame it for weight gain / loss.

  38. It has been found out through research that adding dairy to your diet is helpful since dairy can help you absorb fewer calories. The reason behind is the high levels of Calcium present in dairy and the Calcium binds with fats during digestion forming a soap-like substance that your body finds hard to absorb. Therefore, most of the fats are excreted rather than absorbed in your body. Little tips like this mean that you may be able to keep eating a moderate amount of your favorite foods in a way that still keeps you on your diet.
