sorry about the click bait title, but the study I’m sharing is claiming exactly that.
I’ve read through it (skimmed really) and my consensus is they witnessed the power of sfa’s ability to protect glucose oxidation and to some degree prevent lypolysis, hence the higher increase in fat gain in the sfa group. Pufa on the other hand resulted in less visceral fat and higher lean mass gains BUT I’m thinking this is because it changes the metabolism to encourage lipid oxidation? I was hoping some of you could look it over and share your thoughts :)
