One of the hypotheses is that hoarding calories is supposed to be a fall preparing for winter thing and something about the modern diet is putting us in that state all the time rather than for three months out of the year. Eating a bunch of root vegetables seems to help. Might be gut microbiome related (starches) and/or hormone related or something else.
I heard this hypothesis about fruits and glucose-fructose syrup, that basically when you eat something that contains glucose-fructose syrup, your body thinks “oh, the autumn fruit, better get ready for the winter” and starts depositing fat in the fat cells. (Not sure how reliable is this story.)
