[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sugar is a stimulant and very addictive, even more addictive than cocaine. Sugar is in everything and fake sugar or worse. Europeans eat more animal fat and protein than Americans and are metabolically better for it.

Cut out processed foods, sugar etc. Eat meat, fat and limited amounts of whole fruits/veggies. You will be better off. [/quote]

They eat plenty of bread too.  Not sugar, but they by no means are living the low carb lifestyle [/quote]

Yeah this doesn’t track for me. My family in Italy eats rusks or cookies for breakfast with cappuccino. Crostini, sandwiches, potatoes frittata, focaccia, Bruschetta, pasta, pizza all very commonly seen at lunch and dinner. Young people are thin, older people are often a bit fat. [/quote]

The Italian breakfast pastries are small as is the cappuccino. You would have to grab 5-6 cookies and pastries plus 5-6 cappuccinos to equal what you get here in the coffee shop. The portions above are much smaller and they aren’t being served with fries and a bucket of coke.

Young people are thinner because it’s completely unacceptable to be a fat young person. They’ll skip meals and cut portion sizes if they start gaining. [/quote]

This.  It isn’t really what they are eating.  It is how much.  Plus yes, they are more likely to take action if they notice gain happening then to just not care.  It seems like most people in the US that are overweight really don’t care [/quote]
