French fries very effective in putting on the pounds.
Long-term studies of over 120,000 health professionals followed for up to 20 years showed french fries to be the most effective in increasing weight gain, followed by potato chips. For each daily serving of french fries weight gain per four year period was 3.35 pounds. Potato chips added 1.69 pound per daily serving over four years.
PositiveTip: Avoid fried foods that are high in fat. Try a baked potato with salsa or other low-fat toppings.

Low-fat Weight Loss Diet Better at Slimming Waist Size
Posted by Galen Bosley on
A low-fat weight loss diet increases arterial blood flow, reduces fat mass, and waist size.
A study of obese subjects on either a high-fat or low-fat weight loss diet found that although both groups lost weight, only the low-fat group showed a significant reduction in fat mass, waist circumference, increased brachial artery blood flow and improvement in hormone balance. The high-fat diet actually impaired brachial blood flow with no improvement in hormone balance.
PositiveTip: A low-fat weight loss diet significantly improves weight loss, vascular blood flow and hormone levels that aid in better control of appetite and weight.
