[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am originally from India though I have lived most of my life in the US.

Obesity is a growing problem in India and it is brought about by fast food, eating out frequently, families with two and more cars who drive everywhere. When I go there, I sometimes see kids who are overweight and look like overweight American kids and what they have in common is frequent fast food and lack of exercise. Keep in mind this is very much a problem with the affluent and the middle class. The ordinary person who may be a laborer or someone used to physical labor eats more common fare - lots of carbs and veggies - in large quantities and they are not overweight.

Anecdotal information admittedly but it is difficult to ignore the commonalities with the West.[/quote]

This is a good point. I have seen this change elsewhere in Asia too and these are very small framed people, genetically speaking.

I think if the average overweight person moved more and ate better, they would see some weight loss. I firmly believe that convenience foods and junk food are behind this weight gain. Eat whole foods, avoid additives, eat good fats and grass fed meat (avoid that corn!!) and you will find it hard to overeat.

I do think the additives in processed food do have an impact on us feeling full. When I eat cheese or something simple, I don't eat too much and get full quickly. Give me flavoured corn chips and I am like a wolf who hasn't eaten for a year. There is something to it. Examine your diets and remove any fake foods...[/quote]
