Skip the fruit and go for protein and fat |
Bull$hit. Americans just aren't used to being the slightest bit hungry. |
Theres a difference between feeling hungry and fasting. Agree American don't fast regularly. The American diet is $hit and full of processed foods in lovely pantries. And if you eat feuits and veggies you will feel full even get vitamins/fiber. |
Nobody wants to eat healthy food because its "boring" and time consuming. Lean means, vegetables, fruits, unprocessed nuts, and water. That's the formula for success nobody wants to deal with. |
Not necessarily. The issue people face is the unwillingness to recognize how calories dense dietary fat is - like people that refuse to stop eating peanut butter because it is "yummy." Fat is satiating, but removal of it won't necessarily have the opposite effect for everybody. Beyond this, there is a massive gulf between fat free Greek yogurt and fat free processed foods that are the result of fat fearing. Lumping those together is dumb. Overall, the formula that works for 99.9% of people is simple: lean meats, vegetables, fruit, legumes, unprocessed nuts in reasonable quantities, and water. |
I don’t disagree but you can still be hungry between meals if you’re eating fruits and vegetables (and other things). A few hunger loangs doesn’t mean you need to immediately find food. |
Have at least one meal per day that is fatty beef and eggs. It's literally the most nutritious meal you can put in your body. That's why we are told to not eat it.
The processed food and pharmaceutical companies would go bankrupt if they let everybody get healthy. Those two industries are currently influencing all the current health standards |
Why do you believe this? Do you have any reliable literature that supports this? Not challenging, but I’m curious and would like to review the information if it’s available. |
It's not simple though: it requires massive self control, discipline, proper shopping and preparedness, a less stressful intense life to be able to focus and think clearly about choices and weight loss. If someone has always been thin, they simply don't understand what it's like. I know I didn't before I became heavy. And I certainly did not eat how you describe (yet I was thin!). |
It depends on your goals - I switched to full fat and 2% fage for a year and it definitely kept me more full, I lost weight and was happy putting cheese on my eggs and enjoying a TB of cream in my coffee. Exactly one year later and my LDL is through the roof. Now I’m backing off the saturated fats and adding back in the fruit because hereditary factors and perimenopause are hard to overcome otherwise. |
I disagree any of this requires massive self-control. You have to prioritize it. Most people don't want to do that. |
100% agreement, nailed it. When food companies that are publicly traded have no incentive to make the food healthier and unprocessed. Its global business and then big Pharma reaps rewards with all theraputics and even doctors who would rather manage your weight/diet then say adapt or die with your diet. |
You might have a much easier time than someone else. That's partly why weight loss drugs work: they bring the amount of self-control required down for people who have normally struggled. |
Well, some people had a much easier time in calculus and differential equations than I did, yet we all finished engineering school, and I destroyed them when it came to the actual field specific material. If avoiding eating the massive piles of shelf stable garbage in 7 eleven is considered "massive self control", I cannot image that person attempting something actually difficult. |
The last two sentences are 100% correct. Add in the insurance industry. |
