Granted, this article deals with Canadians, but it should apply to us Americans and other fat assed Western countries. The logic of it seems to hold up. And I’ve read a few other health research articles that suggest more or less the same idea.
Excessive food and sedentary lifestyles make people fat.
Obsessing over “diets” probably doesn’t help either.
I don’t know which I would rather read less…an article on diets or a Horoscope book from the grocery store checkout counter.
I’ve seen peer reviewed studies which came to the same conclusion. Wish I still had access to them. Reducing calories and increasing exercise reduces obesity. I dropped 50 pounds in less than three years by cutting most meat and dairy out of my diet. Despite what the article says, I prefer lean brisket to the fatty stuff.
Count your calories. Too many of them you will get fat no matter what you eat.
