> Girlfriend gets into baking

> My college girlfriend at the time got into baking as a hobby, and as a result I got to the heaviest I’ve ever been at 230lbs with all the delicious desserts she made. We broke up and I stabilized back to my pre-baking weight fairly quickly without much effort. The baking wasn’t the reason why I broke up with her.

Ooh, how exciting!

Assuming you weren't buggering things up with willpower, I don't think that should happen, as long as she's making things out of flour, sugar, and butter. In fact, since the baked goods are probably displacing protein from the diet, I'd imagine that someone who eats a lot of e.g. bread and cakes should lose weight.

So I notice that I am confused, and I'm driven to ask: What sort of fats did she use in her cooking?
