I don&#x27;t know, but I wouldn&#x27;t jump to that conclusion; there are real reasons to be careful with fat.<p>Fat is 9 calories per gram, while carbs and proteins are 4. If you have a budget and you&#x27;re counting calories, fat is more expensive per gram, so you might naturally develop an aversion to spending your budget on what appears to be less food (even if it&#x27;s only appearance).<p>Too much fat is also unhealthy. How much is too much is still being debated, but there is a difference between a weight loss diet and a healthy diet. All things being equal, a 2000 calorie diet of buttered bacon doughnuts is still likely to cause more problems than a 2000 calorie diet of vegetables, fruits and nuts.
