Question:

What foods you eat can cause you to gain weight? does pork, pasta, & white bread make u gain weight?


Answers:

Any food can make you gain or lose weight.

It's not necessarily a question of what foods. Even the best food in large quantities will make you gain weight.

Weight gain happens when you consume more calories than you are burning.

If you don't get a lot of exercise, then focus on eating lower calorie and fat meals, to reduce your overall caloric intake.

In terms of the foods you mentioned, pasta & white bread are basically empty starches that convert to sugar, and you don't get a lot of nutrition from them (uinless it was a whole grain pasta or bread). If you are trying to lose weight, in addition to eating fewer calories, you should cut back or eliminate foods that convert to sugar like these - that's why diets like the Atkins diet are so popular because by eliminating carbs you can loose weight quickly.

LoCarb diets aren't always the best long term strategy as they are low fiber and high fat, and over time, that will be hard on your heart and organs.

Pork, in and of itself is faily lean, like chicken, so eaten in moderation is fine. The above answerer is actually incorrect about it, as pork is white meat not red.
