Recommendation 3:
FOODS AND DRINKS THAT PROMOTE WEIGHT GAIN.
Limit consumption of energy-dense foods. Avoid sugary drinks
Consume energy-dense foods sparingly (Energy-dense foods are here defined as those with an energy content of more than about 225–275 kcal per 100 g). Limit processed (meaning package) energy-dense foods. Relatively unprocessed energy-dense foods, such as nuts and seeds, durian, avocadoes, have not been shown to contribute to weight gain when consumed as part of typical diets, and these and many vegetable oils are valuable sources of nutrients.
Consume 'fast foods' sparingly, if at all The term 'fast foods' refers to readily available convenience foods that tend to be energy-dense and consumed frequently and in large portions.
This overall recommendation is mainly designed to prevent and to control weight gain, overweight, and obesity . (which has been highlighted in the first recommendation, the type of cancers linked to)
The term 'fast food' is used in lay publications and in common discourse, as well as in the scientific literature. It is also used as a category in research studies of food, nutrition, and the risk of diseases, including cancer. In the literature, the term does not refer to all foods that can be consumed immediately or quickly, and certainly does not refer to foods such as fruits. In general, the term refers to readily available, energy-dense meals, snacks, foods, and drinks. These tend to be consumed often and are frequently offered in large portion sizes. In the literature, the term usually refers to 'fast food' served in transnational restaurants and the many 'fast foods' created in each country and region that imitate those served in such transnational restaurants.
Studies show an association between the consumption of 'fast foods' as defined in the literature and a higher risk of weight gain and obesity. These studies examined people who ate at 'fast-food' restaurants or from takeaway outlets: most of the foods they consumed were high energy-dense products. There is no plausible basis for weight gain being caused by the speed with which a food is prepared or made available. Indeed, many foods can be prepared speedily without also being energy dense. These studies support that the energy density of foods and drinks is an important determinant of body mass.
