Our kids' pediatrician had a phrase: "unnaturally delicious." It was usually followed by the sentence: "That's a sometimes food."And is engineered to be so.

The cold dulls the taste and the ice slightly waters it down (don't let all the ice melt, though, that's too watery). No longer sickeningly sweet!*mind blown* ...
Is that why in the US half of your soda is ice?
Things start to make sense now.
Yep, Vegetarians and Vegans can not stand to believe it is possible, & I somewhat understand we've been lied to for so long, it is hard to believe (I feel like a flat earther sometimes. lol), but I've seen the proof first hand so I know there is definitely something to it that is very fascinating!!It's not the meat, butter or animal fats doing the damage. It's the rancid seed oils, sugar and processed foods. Most people don't believe that though as it goes against the narrative. We might be living longer, but it is not a long-term quality of life. Many people are becoming more animal based (not on this board, but in general that I have seen outside of this board) and improving their quality of life and health markers.
I don't know. I'm pretty sure.not sure if it'll end up
We know sugarcoating makes things worseAnd personally it seems that being overweight is suddenly something to be embraced and celebrated. The amount of so-called “influencers” who push to make being morbidly obese a normal reality does not help to curb the rise.
Serving sizes here in the US are normally massive and as others have said the fact that wait staff refill your soda without asking has to play a part in this growth.
I’m overweight - it is all of my doing. I don’t eat badly but I am lazy. I know what to do to reduce my size and have started to take those steps. It’s no use getting all huffy as an overweight person when it is pointed out - truth is truth. Sugarcoating the facts doesn’t help anyone.
Americans are used to cheap calories. Not necessarily the healthiest options. In many parts of the world people are thinner simply because food is so expensive.Ah I remember those studies from the 60s. We were eating more simply then (not all the processed foods) but our diets, compared to say Viet Nam, were much more "meat" centric and I think that's where a lot of the differences came from. My friend is from Viet Nam and just went back to visit her father and brought some steaks over there on her trip. Not that they don't have it there, but it's very expensive and not as easy to obtain. But I digress...these days I am concerned with many of the "diets" out there which advocate a lot of meat products. I wonder what impact they have even with weight loss to go with them.
I don't think so. Other cold drinks such as iced tea, juice, lemonade, etc., are also served with lots of ice, unless you request otherwise. I always thought it was because the restaurants save money by giving you lots of ice instead of a whole glass of the drink.*mind blown* ...

We have been lied to. I would definitely participate in a low carb/animal based thread. I'm sure there would be some opposition, but that doesn't bother me....lol.Yep, Vegetarians and Vegans can not stand to believe it is possible, & I somewhat understand we've been lied to for so long, it is hard to believe (I feel like a flat earther sometimes. lol), but I've seen the proof first hand so I know there is definitely something to it that is very fascinating!!
I'd love to start &/or participate in a low carb/Animal Based thread on here, but not sure if it'll end up like a politics/religion type of thread with tons of anger and hate.
I remember woefully looking at my belly slightly pooching back in high school and being horrified. When I look at pictures of myself in a bathing suit back then I am honestly wondering *** my issue was because I looked AMAZING
Thinking specifically about Japanese Breakfast where you'd get a miso soup with veggies and tofu, rice, a piece of fish, a raw egg, some rice and 2-3 different vegetable side dishes. Of course not everybody there eats like that but our equal would be a fat/carb/sugar bomb with eggs, sausage or bacon or both, toast, hashbrowns, a waffle pancake or french toast etc. - even the Brits have their fry up that is nothing like what a big "asian" breakfast would be.
I'm not sure there are that many in our population who weigh more than 600 pounds...100 years ago a "circus freak" Fat Man weighed much less than some of our larger population today.
My sister always sends me that same link... The common denominator from Mediterranean and most of the "clean" low carb/animal based diets is both include eating real food (Blue Zones, etc) and I would definitely agree if everyone just ate real food they'd be better off, but my only issue with vegetarian/vegan is they are missing out on "real" animal protein, even if they are getting some sort of synthetic equivalent, I don't think it works the same or as good, but people do what people do. AND I definitely don't blame people for not wanting to hurt animals, factory farming is a horrible thing. (but for example Impossible burgers are not real food)I don’t think we have been lied to. I think what we know to this point has been based on many years of research by health professionals the world over. A low carb/animal based diet has not been mainstreamed. I don’t know if it ever will be. But have at it, if that’s what you believe and what works for you! A thread for like-minded people is fine. But if others come on with different ideas, I don’t think they should be called ‘haters’.

Yes, but 1 "circus freak" vs many people in todays society is a big difference, but i guess the population is much higher too, so I'm not really sure about the percentage of people over 600.I'm not sure there are that many in our population who weigh more than 600 pounds...
Or maybe my view is skewed because I live in a fairly fit community/state, so I guess I could understand if people here are more used to seeing those appearing closer in body type to this gentleman. But much more than 600 pounds....I would be really shocked if there were that many people in our "larger population" who weigh more than that.

Have you ever heard of the Atkins Diet? It was all the rage in the early to mid 2000's. It was ALL about the meat and fat and very, very low carb.I don’t think we have been lied to.

Not as low compared to todays low carb diets... technically Keto is about 20g (which is similar to Atkins), and is whatever level puts your body into ketosis, but the Carnivore diet is essentially 0, usually ends up still under 5g at the most on certain days.Have you ever heard of the Atkins Diet?

There is a threshold with pure carnivore at about 5 days or so where you are basically at your wits end with it, but then you just push thru & wake up the next day craving steak & eggs.I needed/wanted to lose about 10 lbs in 3 months and Atkins worked. Course I also upped my exercise regime so maybe it was a combo. I will say it was hard to eat all that meat. Ugh.
Yes and he calls his girlfriend piggy and she is not big either.This reminds me of a recent episode of 90 Day Fiance (we all have our trash TV, okay?) where a guy from South Korea is moving to Arkansas for his fiance and the fiance's mother asks him what he thinks about the US. With a straight face, he says "Everyone here is really fat."
Jokes aside, the US does have an obesity problem for sure. I'm a shirt size S/M depending on the brand but in European countries I'm a M/L and in Japan I have shirts that are XL. One shirt I have from Tokyo Disneyland is a XXL.

I read his book in the 70s and was on the Atkins diet for a time myself then, thanks to my older brother’s girlfriend at the time, who introduced me to it.Have you ever heard of the Atkins Diet?
