At the risk of oversimplifying, it seems that abdominal fat results more from excessive carbohydrates (especially refined ones like flour, table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, etc.) rather than from dietary fat from sources such as lechon. The carbohydrates get converted by the liver to triglycerides (fat) which first shows up in your blood and later stored in your tissues. Carbohydrates also stimulate the appetite leading to increased caloric intake while dietary fat satiates sooner. The protein in the lechon also contributes to satiety.

So an article on lechon is not in contradiction to the implicit message of the magazine’s cover. Good news, I believe, for lechon lovers.

Thanks

I don’t like the guy, as is obvious. :) But I will buy the magazine because of the lechon article. hehe

and mila…you had me laughing-out loud there…….
