NEWSFLASH: Chubby girls ain't chubby 'cause of meat. It's the empty calories in soft drinks, candy, chips, etc. In fact, put those gals on a high protein/low carb diet for two weeks and the blubber will melt away.
I totally agree.
In fact my idea is that people are, in general, quite deficient in the essential minerals.
Minerals (Calcium, magnesium, potassium, selenium) tend to alkalize the body and neutralize toxins.
Think about it. In pre-divilized times, people ate meat cooked over fires that made alot of ash. That ash is mostly minerals. They ate seafood and things caught in streams like crawdads - things loaded with minerals.
They drank water that flowed right in the streams, most of which had traveled over miles of country loaded with rocks and minerals.
Studies have shown somewhere between 50-70 percent of Americans are deficient in Magnesium and Potassium - both highly essential minerals.
So if you eat alot of food that lacks minerals, your belly may be full, but you still hungry.
Your body tells you are hungry, but you are hungry for minerals, so you eat more, but it’s a never ending cycle!
