There are several factors that contribute to weight gain. I would say, lack of exercise is the main reason for weight gain. I have seen lots of people eating heavy fatty foods but still remain lean. The reason being they are hard workers. They work out every day or their routine comprises of lots of exercises.
From my personal experience, I have seen people with fat body structure not because they eat a lot but because they don't spend the energy they gain by eating.
A proper digestive system and bowel system is also important for people to maintain a healthy body. If these two are not good, food consumed by a person gets deposited in the body in the form of fat and gradually increases the body weight and size. There are also no straightforward ways to get rid of them easily.
Walking and jogging cannot be the only way to reduce weight. A person will also not need gym to reduce their weight if they plan their food well. Not just food but they should also be able to do exercises regularly as part of their rotine.
Scientists from the University of Aberdeen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have undertaken the largest study of its kind looking at what components of diet – fat, carbohydrates or protein – caused mice to gain weight.
Since food consists of fat, protein and carbs, it has proven difficult to pinpoint exactly what aspect of the typical diet leads to weight gain.
Part of the problem is that it is very difficult to do studies on humans where what they eat is controlled for long enough periods to work out what are the most important factors, however studies on animals that are similar to us can help point in the right direction.
The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism and includes 30 different diets that vary in their fat, carbohydrate (sugar) and protein contents.
The mice were fed these diets for three months, which is equivalent to nine years in humans. In total over 100,000 measurements were made of body weight changes and their body fat was measured using a micro MRI machine.
Professor John Speakman, who led the study, said: “The result of this enormous study was unequivocal – the only thing that made the mice get fat was eating more fat in their diets.

“Carbohydrates including up to 30% of calories coming from sugar had no effect. Combining sugar with fat had no more impact than fat alone. There was no evidence that low protein (down to 5%) stimulated greater intake, suggesting there is no protein target. These effects of dietary fat seemed to be because uniquely fat in the diet stimulated the reward centres in the brain, stimulating greater intake.
“A clear limitation of this study is that it is based on mice rather than humans. However, mice have lots of similarities to humans in their physiology and metabolism, and we are never going to do studies where the diets of humans are controlled in the same way for such long periods. So the evidence it provides is a good clue to what the effects of different diets are likely to be in humans.”
Yes i believe fatty foods are the main reason behind the body to get weight gain but only fatty food is not the proper reason weight gain is because after having heavy food people are seating and relaxing they are not worried about having fat . One has to do exercise after having heavy food after 30 minutes having meal.

Eating of fatty foods can make someone gain so much weight but it is not only fatty foods that can
make someone gain so much weight,there are
also some drinks that have high calorie
content,some beers even have very high sugar content and also contains plenty calories,that is
we have to always watch what we are eating and
what we are drinking,calories are something that the body requires daily but there is a maximum
amount of calories that the body needs,daily,the calories the body needs varies among different
humans but when a person consumes more than the calories their body needs it makes them grow fat...
