Eat more saturated fats? The graphs explain the main problem, people are just eating more food. It doesn't really matter what you eat. You do need protein for your muscles, but other than that you need to eat need to eat fewer calories. Here is a guy losing weight on the Twinkie diet: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html Here is the main equation you need to know: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O All the diets like keto, paleo etc. they are just making it so you will eat less.
Those numbers seem incredibly low. I went to Galveston today and then the mall. By my very scientific survey, obesity is pushing 90% in 2018.
Processed food is widely available, stupidly cheap, and requires little to no effort. Most people are poorly educated on the matter of nutrition and that includes your general practice doctors who are woefully far behind on any current nutritional studies. Not blaming them, just the way it is. I mean we’re probably just now at the tail end of doctors recommending patients to lose fat by not eating it. It’s probably a 5 to even 10 year process of getting information from the research to the patients. Unless the current medical model is changed and we can get people lifestyle change support and not just disease treatment, we’re probably not going to see a significant dent in those numbers.
As long as companies and restaurants determine the portion size, people will continue to get fatter... Average sedentary office worker american needs ~2000 calories. Do the math..the excess calories are easily piling up. Don't forget all the snacking most people do daily. 3-4 meals + snacks/juices/liquid sugar (that contains some coffee).... Most people are sheep and do what they others do. They are also heavily influenced by advertising/news. The ones that want to get healthy have no clue what's the proper way to do it. They hear "juice cleanse" "detox" or the next buzz diet and fail miserably.
