But a recent finding gives us one more reason to watch what we eat!  Research conducted at Methodist Hospital in Houston found that fat tissue can become inflamed, causing numerous health problems for overweight and <a href=\"https:\/\/whyweight.wpengine.com\/obesity\/\">obese<\/a> people. More importantly, certain diets, like those high in fat, may be responsible for increasing inflammation risks. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to a study published in <em>Cell Metabolism<\/em>, fat cells themselves are partly to blame for this process. High caloric diets cause cells to make a group of proteins called MHCII that are used by the immune system to fight off bacteria or viruses.  These fat cells send out false distress signals making the immune system think that it\u2019s in danger, initiating inflammation to try and protect itself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s long been known that fat cells store and release energy; many researchers now believe they are the reason for inflammation in fat tissue. This inflammation can cause serious consequences to a patient\u2019s health, including diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Diets high in fat and calories are the cause of many illnesses and, unfortunately, are the norm in the western diet. Reducing caloric intake is important for weight loss, but equally important is the type of calories consumed. High protein, low carb, and low fat diets are the goal for weight loss and inflammation control. After <a href=\"https:\/\/whyweight.wpengine.com\/minimally-invasive\/\">bariatric surger<\/a>y at our Louisiana or Mississippi weight loss centers, patients are encouraged to follow a careful diet focused around high-protein, low-fat, and nutrient-rich foods.
