Reflection Paragraph On Findings

While researching my topic I found a lot of helpful information. The most important facts that I learned were that calories are the enemy when fighting obesity. I also learned that there are healthy forms of carbohydrates and fat grams. Something else I learned was 10% of our daily calories are supposed to come from fat. The facts that most surprised me were that you can actually gain weight from not eating enough calories. I also found it surprising that obesity is the second leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Another surprising fact I learned was that an Americans average diet, 34% to 40% of their calories comes from fat. I really do not have anymore questions about my topic. I feel very strong about my topic now. Before I was clueless to what calories, carbohydrates, and fat grams were, but now I know what they are and how they work for our body.
