“Humans are a very strange bunch.”
I knew a guy in the Army who loved his women fat, the fatter the better he would say.
I remember those days.
From the era when everyone still knew that if you ate a lot of “starches” you’d get fat.
Many “endomorphs” are such because they (we - it describes me too) eat the wrong things, eat too often and too much at one time.
I have lots of experience with dieting using low fat diets. They gave me bad headaches and left me feeling weak. They were not sustainable as a way of life because who wants to go thru life feeling weak and in pain?
Fasting plus keto, OTOH, is something I’ve been able to stick to for 3+ years. I’ll never look like a bodybuilder, but for the first time in my life - and I’m now in my 60s - I can see the bottom of my rib cage in the mirror!
People say that as one cuts calories (which is possible for me to do with keto and IF), one’s body metabolism slows. I think that is true. But that merely means one can live comfortably on even LESS food. Saves money. Or lets one spend one’s food budget on more expensive foods.
I’m now down to almost OMAD - One Meal A Day. What is wrong with eating one good meal a day and feeling no weakness or discomfort for the next 24 hours? Apart, that is, from modern man’s wish to eat all the damn day long!
I think the real pity is that the US Government has been blowing smoke up our butts since the 1970s. 50 years of lies, and those lies have killed far more people than COVID! 50 years of people getting fatter and fatter - and no, not because we were turning into endomorphs. Because we listened to the government and government-worshipping doctors, we’ve turned into “endomorphs” because eating wrong changes the production of hormones in your body and CREATES endomorphs!
