We as humans should collectively learn. Funny, it never fails, each new generation of overweight people will think along the same wrong lines of thought at first: that eating fat will make you fat and that losing weight or dieting must involve eating less food, even skipping meals.
The newly fat in their 20s or 30s need to understand that becoming fat is mostly a function of the amount of starchy carbohydrates you eat. So wheat based processed food, rice and other grains are the biggest culprits. Your body may have metabolized that much carbs in its younger years, but not anymore. Your aging body just packs on the fat while consuming that much starchy carbs.
Always avoid malnutrition. Malnutrition is one of the big root causes of many diseases and illnesses. You do not want to be malnourished. You will be sick, guaranteed.
To lose extra weight, to look good, to be sexy, to feel great is a function of health. You must eat a diet that makes you healthy. That’s all there is to it. The best diet out there is the Paleo Diet and even better, the Raw Paleo Diet. This is the evolutionary approved diet. And it just works.
Eat fatty animal food, eat vegetables, some fruit, feel full and satisfied all the time and …. ta daaahhhh…. a sexy, healthy, beautiful you.
To give you an idea of how much food I’m talking about, in a day I could eat: 2 raw duck eggs, 600 grams of raw meat (blue marlin / beef / horse), some coconut / watermelon / guava / durian — I’m a computer geek at 1.65 meters and 57 kg.
