This is happening because the message is: nutrition science is a very problematic field, and it's at the opposite of being straightforward and/or evident. If you want this kind of researches, you will find by yourself lots of researches that support one thesis, then lots of researches supporting the opposite. I've stopped reading nutrition research, because it's essentially a jumble of conflicting, unfounded theories. The smartest thing one can do, for this specific question, is this: go to a sports club, then ask to the people: when you stop practicing your sport, do you get fatter? And conversely, when you started, or in periods of intensive training, do you get leaner? If you're really curious about the subject, do that, you will get the answer. I've been practicing sports for 20+ years, so I know the answer, and the experience of any person who's been practicing sport intensively for decades, is worth way more than a platoon of armchair academic nutritionits can possibly theorize. This should remind that research (at least, this type of research) should be grounded and not detached from reality. |
