      Any food with high fat/ sugar/ protein that are not consumed in moderation. Since most of the foot contains sugar/ fat/ protein anyway, this means anything that is not consumed in moderation…

      AS Theresia said if we eat too much staurated fats and sugars this can lead to obesity. However the main issue with putting on weight is eatng more energy than you are burnig off. So some people can actually eat quite healhtily and put weight in if they are eatin gto much of it. Obesity is quite a complex area to understand and its not jsut about eatin gjunk food. Some peole all they eat is junk food but because they are burning it off don’t put weight on. This however does not mean that they are healthy as too much junk can have a negative effect on the body internally that we cannot see.
