Eating fatty foods five days? If you think you can spoil yourself for five days by eating your favorite fatty foods, and diet later then you are completely doing something that could make your body suffer. A new study finds that eating fatty foods five days can change how your body's muscle processes food.
The study conducted in the Virginia Tech College tested the effect of eating fatty foods five days to 12 healthy young men. They were asked to eat too much quantity of buttered bread, macaroni and cheese, and sausage sandwiches for five days.
The subjects, 12 healthy men were given higher fat allocation on their daily diet where they had 55 percent fat distribution, which is significantly higher than the normal allocation of 30 percent, according to Help Me Out DOC.
After the research on eating fatty foods five days, the researchers measured the insulin and muscle metabolism on the participants in order to note some changes.
The result revealed that after eating fatty foods five days, the participants had slower metabolism and their muscle's capability to metabolize glucose was interrupted after consumption of high fatty foods for five days, the SMH reports.
"Most people think they can indulge in high-fat foods for a few days and get away with it," researcher Matt Hulver said in a statement. "But all it takes is five days for your body's muscle to start to protest."
"If you think about it, five days is a very short time. There are plenty of times when we all eat fatty foods for a few days, be it the holidays, vacations, or other celebrations. But this research shows that those high-fat diets can change a person's normal metabolism in a very short timeframe."
Hulver added that the study of eating fatty foods five days shows that our bodies can respond noticeably to changes in diet in a shorter time frame than we have previously thought.
However, Associate Professor Amanda Salis, of Sydney University's Boden Institute of Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise and Eating Disorders has a different prospective in the result on the study of eating fatty foods five days.
Salis stated that the research on eating fatty foods five days is a great example of 'headline versus research.'
She explained that it is very important to realize that any alteration in diet can make some changes in the way the body metabolizes foods.
Salis stated that it is only in the long term such as long weeks and months and not eating fatty foods five days that changes in the diet can really affect metabolism in the bad way. It can lead to disease, if the dietary change was an unhealthy.
