I'm goinf on a diet for the next week i'll let you guys know.
I've never understood why losing weight is so difficult for some people. For me it was all about exercising more and reducing calories.
I... I don't think we're really at a disagreement at all here. It's just that your first statement was horribly simplified and could easily lead to misunderstanding.
I don't pretend to understand everything in that article, but it seems like he's making more or less the same argument as most paleo people, which is to avoid starchy foods, grains, soy products, vegetable and seed oils, etc.
So, yeah, eat more meat, veggies, fruit, and dairy. Sounds like a damn good plan to me.
Because it's extremely complicated and everyone's body and environment are different.

But let me ask you this because I'm pretty curious myself. Has there been someone who has stuck to a high exercise/low calorie for as long as it takes and still not lost weight? At some point you're starving your body so it has no other choice. Now keeping it off might be a different matter.
Of course starvation diets work in the short term. They normally end in serious rebounds to worse than before.But let me ask you this because I'm pretty curious myself.

Paleo for example has nothing much to say about carbs to my knowledge. They eat plenty of vegetables. If it is low carb that is a function of eliminating refined foods, sugars and the big one: grains.

Wouldn't putting your body in starvation mode just make it harder to lose weight?But let me ask you this because I'm pretty curious myself.

The human body is not a closed system.
The human body is a toroid.
The food pyramid was some bullshit.Man school fucked me over in this respect.
thoes food pyramids, showing grains and carbs as the biggest, meaning you should eat them most.
For the longest time I had the idea that bread was healthy.
That's another oversimplification.
You really take this seriously don't you.
Your thread title is bullshit.
People are fat because they eat too much and exercise too little. If their motivations and desire to eat are augmented because of their diet and chemical interactions that cause them to feel hungry and eat all while their body is storing more energy as fat, then they are still fat because they eat too much and exercise too little. Changing their diet can alter their desire to eat the same amount.
Let's take a man who dies. He dies because he was shot. He didn't die because he slept with another mans wife. The act of sleeping with another man's wife didn't kill him. The angry husband pulling the trigger, releasing the firing pin, striking the primer, igniting the gunpowder, propelling the projectile down the barrel, exiting the gun, and entering the man's heart with a shockwave of traumatic damage to the organ that pumps blood through his body, led to oxygen deprivation in his brain and therefore he died.
Once the sights are set and the trigger is pulled there is no longer a choice, only physics involved in the man dying of a gunshot.
Chewing and swallowing the food is pulling the trigger. Eating too much makes you fat. While this thread is actually about sleeping with another man's wife. Anyone who eats a caloric deficit will lose weight. Simple chemistry and physics.
I understand that you want to talk about motivation and chemical precursors that make us want to eat like a pig but eating too much makes you gain weight.
No magic.
You have no idea what you're talking about

5. No one is talking about magic. It's just that it's a very complicated issue with a huge amount of factors at play. I don't know why people like you want to simplify it so much.
Satiety is how full we feel. Different foods affect how sated we feel. Lower carb and higher fat diets cause you to feel more sated with fewer calories consumed.
It is that simple.

No, they are overwight because of the ubiquity of certain foods that take advantage of our genetics and drive overconsumption through numrous mechanisms. Remove these foods and the problem goes away, which makes logical sense. Fixing the cause of a problem fixes the problem.
Satiety is certainly a large part of why low carb diets tend to work well, but there's a lot more going on to say that it's just that simple. I'm confused as to why you seem to want it to be so simple.

It would be nice to see this thread backed up with some recipes/substitution suggestions for people who live on a primarily low-carb diet. As in, what do people eat now instead of having things like cereal, pasta or rice?
This thread is about human motivation, both psychological and physical, to over-consume and what to do about it.

Let me ask you something; where did everyone's willpower go in the last 20-30 years since obesity exploded?
God...damn...D:I wouldnt worry about eating carbs from veggies, fruit, and dairy. Those are fine, though you might have to limit the fruit or dairy if you can't handle it.
Course, if youre doing keto, then you'll probably have to cut out all fruit and dairy to reach your carb target
God...damn...D:
I'll see how I feel this week. Scale claims I've lost about 3-4 pounds.
I can say I feel fuller longer BUT when I am hungry I really feel it. Figure that will go away soon enough.
Roughest was going to restaurant and wife had a coke and bread with butter. Bread wasn't tempting but man did I want to take a sip of that coke...
So I tried this for a week just as an experiment and lost 4 pounds. I wasn't in it to try and lose weight, as I'm currently a healthy weight, I wanted to see what it did for my energy levels, which I did feel an improvement with.
I didn't have zero carbs (I found that pretty much impossible) but I only had around 50g a day at the most. Breakfast and dinner were pretty easy, but I really struggled with what to eat for lunch.
Bread and pasta were easy to cut, but I really missed my sweet things and things like chips and crisps. I also cut out all fizzy juice and just stuck to water for the week.
I'm going to try it for another few days before I see if I'll stick with it. Alternatively I might try that just cutting out the grains thing and see how I feel on that, as I think it would be a lot easier.
