A recent study in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism shows some interesting information on the aspect of free radical production in the body in both normal and obese subjects.

I think my favorite aspect of this study is when subjects took in high fiber and high fruit compared to high-fat, high carb fast food, they showed no oxidative stresses, period.
So this is definitive proof that not just how much you eat matters, what you eat matters as well. Now you might be saying, eh I will still lose fat right, calories are calories. Well oxidative and inflammatory stress makes the metabolism of nutrients worse, increase the putty building around your heart easier and raises cardiovasular stress, and since everything is a connect the dots system, it is safe to say that this doesn't seem to be a optimal fat loss style program to me.
