Funny lawsuit a few years ago was brought to court by a woman who said she ate the food companies various “diet” items, “low fat” “low calorie” “Weight Watchers” “Dr. Praeger” “Jenny Craig” and “Atkins” type foods for years and years and did not lose weight.
The judge declared it was “not a serious matter” and dismissed the case.
If you think about it, she was right. Even with exercycles, jogging, weights and so on, and eating the “diet” foods, most people quickly gain back their old fat each time anyway.
The PBS special The Truth About Fat was terribly depressing. Even the famous Biggest Loser victors were interviews 2 or 3 years later and were dangerously obese.
The human body is trying to “help” us by saving our lives if there is an ice age again. The fat ancestors survived to have children in the old ice ages and we carry their genes.
Our ancestor lived their lives on the verge of starvation!
So they ate anything they could get and stored any excess in fatty layers, for the bad times.
Even now, people who are overweight survive better during starvation events.

Nope! Too many carbs. Cut carbs below 30G/day, eat no more than twice a day, and the fat WILL come off.
We didn’t have too many “fat genes” in the 1960s...
