Evidence does not support this as "definitely true." One example: http://m.ajcn.nutrition.org/content/79/5/899S.full The human body is more complicated than that. Different foods cause different levels of insulin response. Insulin tells the body to "pack it away as fat." As mentioned in the article, it's likely insulin is more relevant to heart disease than saturated fat intake. The role of insulin also helps to explain obesity observed in malnourished populations, people who simply aren't taking in enough calories to get fat, but are. I also take issue with your message toward people who are struggling with overweight. It's not just that overweight people are bad at staying within limits; it's that fat cells stimulated by insulin to grow send messages requesting more energy, stimulating appetite.
