The Occasional Food Indulgence Won't Lead To Weight Gain, Study Says
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- We all like to indulge in one of our favorite foods every once in a awhile. Now, new research says that may be OK.
Australian researchers studied a group of lean, healthy guys with an average age of 22.
They put them on a high calorie diet for five days, to represent over-indulging during the holidays.
They checked them after and found they didn't have a big change in weight or fat mass.
Additionally, researchers discovered blood sugar fasting levels remained consistent, suggesting the human body can adapt to the occasional indulgences.
