Being fat has nothing to do with how much you eat. The average person fat, skinny or any size eats between 3 and 4 lbs of food a day. This is the dirty secret that the industry doesn't want us to think about. They keep pushing diets meaning cutting back on the quantity of food you eat. this way you are always fighting your fat with willpower. When you stay fat you believe it is your fault not the food industry's fault.
3 to 4 lbs of food a day will keep your stomach satiated. If you eat 3-4 lbs of fruits and vegetables, whole grain you will not be able to maintain excess pounds. If you are interested in losing weight forget about diets, forget about looking at serving size. Focus on calories per pound. 1 lb of vegetables is about 100 calories. A pound of oil is about 4000 calories. 1 pound of process food can be 1100 and much higher.calories. Eat food as close to nature as possible. Fresh fruits and veggies. Frozen fruits and veggies. Whole grain rice, potatoes, beans have about 500 or so calories per pound. Salt sugar and fat is added to food to get us addicted. The food industry knows how addiction works. Phillip Morris the tobacco company learned how to addict people to cigarettes. They are now a food giant. Do you think they used what they learned to addict us to certain foods? The Great Awakening is learning to see past the nonsense. Big corporate media is not your friend. Big corporate food is not your friend. Processed foods became the big thing around the 80s-90s. Take a look at photos from before that time. you will notice that almost no one was overweight. Take a look at photos from today. You will notice just the reverse.
I do not want to insult anybody. I had to learn this for myself. I had allowed myself to get overweight to a point of obesity. I had high blood pressure pain in my feet sleep apnea. I was taking meds for this stuff.
After doing a lot of research I started putting this together. Change what you eat not how much you eat. Think of processed food as poison. Cutting back on poison is not the answer. We need to stop the poison.
i went on a "diet" of fruit and veggies. No additives, no salt, no fats no sugars except what was naturally in the foods. i stayed away from some foods like nuts which are high in calories. If I was Hungry I ate. I would have 4-5 meals a day.
So I was never Hungry. A simple motto. Don't be hungry, don't be stuffed.
I was losing 3 lbs a week without even trying.
to make a long story short I am no longer on any meds. I no longer have sleep apnea. My blood pressure averages around 110 over 70. No more swelling in my feet.
You don't have to eat like I was. I just tried it out and I was amazed how quickly things were getting better for me.
If this is something that interests you do a little research. what ever you want to eat figure out how many carioles per lb. The average guys need about 500-600 per lb to maintain their weight. Less and the weight will drop. More and the weight will go up.
I hope this helps someone. It's time to take back our freedom.
Ps I do not know how to add an image to a text post so I will add a picture in the comments below of a simple chart to show the calorie count per lb of foods.
This topic has been on my mind a lot lately. They have made it next to impossible to be healthy. Do you mind sharing what a typical day of meals looks like?
Oatmeal with banana in the morning. I have two servings which is one cup of oatmeal. 1.5 cups of water. 2.15 minutes in the microwave. I make a veggie soup. it is tomato based. tomato puree, tomato diced no salt added. Whatever frozen veggies I have on hand. I add some no salt spices , garlic, mrs dash things like that. I make enough for a few days at a time. I will have that soup with a microwaved potato or rice or whole grain pasta. I eat fruit during the day. Apples, grapes, frozen fruit. Once I got into the pattern everything was changing for me. Started feeling MUCH better.
There are other ways to do this but I am a simple guy. this work for me so I did not change it very much over the weeks. Granted this may not be the perfect way but for me it worked and still does.

Lower sodium is associated with higher mortality. Get real salt, avoid processed salt.

Thank you so much. It’s time to clean up!
It really all depends bc if you are insulin resistant then banana and oats are horrible. I really find success with intermittent fasting, low carb, low sugar. Everyone's body is definitely different
Like I said. this worked for me. Everybody is a little different. All I know is this. The food industry is lying to us. Or if not out and out lying they are misdirecting us.
I believe that to be true along with doctors being misinformed through pharmaceutical companies. Its amazing how they push drugs over helping people heal themselves. Sad world we live in
Oats are loaded with glyphosate. Even organic. ?

Combine with getting as much of your food as possible from a local farm, farmers market, or raised yourself.
