I eat steaks, hand-crafted pizza, for breakfast I have scrambled egg, sausage, and hashbrowns, except Sundays when I have herring, stewed tomatoes, and dark beer.
I don't gain weight. I'm within 10% of what I weighed when I enlisted the first time back in 1980.
Gotta be a mechanism. Science should figure it out.

I think your diet sounds healthy - because it is all home-cooked foods. With some regular exercise - not a huge amount - but daily.
Take away and store bought snacks are very fattening, and without as much nourishment as needed. They are the opposite of your good hand-made breads and hearty pans of meat and vegetable dishes. I also think you eat meals, rather than filling up by grazing all day.
I’m starting to think I have gluten issues. I FReeped you a while ago about sourdough help and you suggested I seek local advice because there are so many environmental factors. Well, I couldn’t find local help so I’m giving it another try on my own. Wish me luck!
I hope not: if they do, some enterprising businessman will grind you up and sell you as weight-loss pills, and we'd lose a great FReeper. :-(
Seriously -- see my post #57, there's likely an interplay of diet (calories + type of food, exericse, and genes).
Just the kind of thing you can't hone in on with a mass statistical study of the kind funding moieties tend to love.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Ha ha—bicycling daily for your beer, herring and dark beer on Sundays!
PS I like stewed tomatoes too. Do you make your own?
