Here's a thing thats puzzling me. Ive been reading a LOT (hurrah for what's left of the public library service!) about the low fat con we all were tricked into following. Ive been trying to remember what we ate before and whether that was healthy. I remember switching from bacon and egg sandwiches (white mothers pride of course!) to Weetabix. Even more dramatic was my Dad no longer having a "proper" breakfast and eating bran flakes instead
What's puzzling me is that we still ate plenty of carbs before the low fat recommendations came out. Toast , sandwiches, spuds etc. Or were the overall ratios of fat to carbs healthier then? Or was it the lack of processed food we ate that meant it was better? Or was it simply portion size and 3 meals a day rather than snacking that made us thinner and healthier?
