Crazy theory

| The reason the semaglutide meds work so well is that we stripped the fat out of food in the name of health but kept or increased the sugar (like yogurt), when really the fat was giving satiation, and without it we just keep eating more calories. I guess atkins said this but now the evidence of the miraculous effect of the semaglutide seems to confirm it was never the fat but the sugar (and especially detached from fat) that is the problem. |

All we need in this thread now is somebody to come in and repeat the YouTube pervasive conspiracy about big grain and the USDA food pyramid as if they are a genius, and this whole “crazy theory” will be complete.
Meanwhile, anybody who is not an idiot has been aware that refined sugar is the problem for a long long time. If you don’t know that, you are a knuckle dragger who hasn’t been paying attention for at least the past 15 years. |

Okay then, why are the shelves full of fat free yogurts and milks ? Tons of products are still described as low fat or fat free. And the ‘low sugar’ products are filled with fake sugars. |

Fat provides satiety, but so does fiber and with no downsides like saturated fat has. High fiber diet works like semaglutide to shut down food noise and quell food cravings. You really have to ditch added and refined sugars close to entirely, because sugar is addictive and drives overconsumption- and it is also poisonous in the body when it is detached from fiber. Sugar attached to fiber in fruits and vegetables is fine to consume. Fiber feeds the gut bacteria who then crank out short chain fatty acids that cannot be otherwise obtained by food or supplements. SCFAs are critical to health and are cancer preventative. A well fell gut biome also regulates all kinds of hormones including serotonin, 95% of which is made in the gut, not the brain. People are sick of me posting about this but it’s the answer to good health and weight loss/management. FIBER, from real food. Lots of it, every single day! |

Because of poor public health messaging for the last 7 decades. Watch Fat Fiction or Fed Up for the background of how these bad messages about the foods we should eat were first sold to the American people beginning in the 1950s, and how the low fat craze hit the processed foods industry in the 80s resulting in thousands of food products being stripped of fat and pumped full of sugar to make them palatable. Have you seen this video yet? If not, you should watch it. https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM?si=21kLMkaNwNO60Mlq |

| The low-fat revolution was a disaster and resulted in increased sugar consumption and staggering rates of obesity and diabetes. No doubt. Not sure about your analysis and conclusion about semaglutide though. |

That’s what the market demands. It’s not a conspiracy. You genuinely have to be daily show level intelligent to think any of this thought here is revolutionary. Low fat plain Greek yogurt is exceptionally healthy. It’s not exactly rocket science navigating around the garbage. Most people just don’t want to because they “have to live a little” and can’t eat “boring food.” |

Nobody wants to eat real food because it’s boring. It’s much easier to blame this all on an elaborate external conspiracy. By contrast, WTF cares what’s in the processed food. He here is a crazy thought. Stop eating that $hit. Then it doesn’t matter what the conspiracy is, you just navigate around it. Problem solved. |

Are you the one who won’t shut up about your perfect poops? |

Well in fairness, I haven't posted about them in many months now. But this morning I woke up with the birds, well rested and feeling better in my body than I have in decades, and within a half hour of moving my body and drinking a glass of water, I delivered into my toilet a large and perfect (on the Bristol scale) poop baby made up of all the waste products leftover from my high fiber real foods diet. You might think it's hilarious, but all the research establishes that human health is centered in gut health. Our moods/mental health, our sleep, our longevity - it's gut based, and we can see when we look around us how much suffering is happening in our population because of the deeply toxic food system most of us are eating within most of the time. Eating real food and as a result making daily perfect poop babies is nothing to laugh at, it's the objective we should all be striving toward. |

It isn't a crazy theory. We all have known for a while that the low-fat industry was pushed by sugar producers who wanted to shift the blame for rising weights from sugar to fat. It makes no sense that if you eat an fat rich avocado, you will gain more weight than if you eat a fat-free cookie. Having said that, the reason weights were going up in the first place is that people weren't moving as much.
When fat free first became a thing, my friend and I were both quite good at following the diet. She would take the cheese off her pizza so avoid the fat but eat the crust. Anyways, I got fat and she got thyroid disease. I switched to a higher fat diet (full fat milk and yogurt etc) and lost the puffy look I had gotten but I lost touch with her so no idea what happened. I'm not sure why anyone would ever buy anything fat free. The closer your food is (at the store) to what it is in nature is generally better for you. Apples better than applesauce, etc |

OP, I think that is part of it, but not all of it. It's more complicated than that.
Signed, Someone who abandoned low fat eating over a decade ago, but still had weight issues until going on Wegovy, which resulted in a weight loss of over 50 pounds |

I definitely think it plays a part. Doing keto or atkins is actually extremely beneficial for a lot of things because it helps your insulin and hormones (similar to semigluties). Those diets focus on good fat and protein, minimal fiber/grains, minimal sugar.
I also think that companies have gotten smarter/sneakier with their advertising and nutrition labels in a purposeful attempt to trick consumers. |
