From what I have looked into people today are not eating any more than they were eating 50 years ago. The average person eats between 4-5 lbs of food. That is the point where the stomach feels full.
the difference is WHAT food is being consumed.
50 years ago+ the food contained more water. Fruit veggies things like that. Todays food is highly processed. Processed food removes the water to help items last longer
you can eat an 8 ounce potato or an 8 ounce bag of chips. As far as your stomach is concerned it is 8 ounces of food.
The potato would be about 100-200 calories and the bag of chips would be almost 10x the calories
Also, fruit is way oversized. Real fruit is generally much smaller. Have you seen native strawberries, they are the same size as a blueberry found in grocery stores. Blueberries are actually pea sized, not the 1/2" 3/8" monsters you see in stores. We have a problem, in that even the seeds are genetically modified. Forget growing your own food from seeds you bought at any big box store.
That is only 1 issue, consider the fake oils: canola, "vegetable," palm, and many others. There's only a few "healthy" oils: virgin olive, avocado, I think there's another big one I'm missing. Crisco replaced lard/butter/tallow/bacon grease and is very unhealthy.
The concept of dieting by most people is extremely flawed, and generally contains zero science. My wife says, keto/carnivore isn't healthy, I asked why, she said, you're just eating meat. Vegetables are healthy. I ask how they are healthy, she says, they just are. My in-laws said the same thing, again, no science, just, "everyone knows..." type of statements. You mean to say, we're brainwashed, got it. I don't bring it up with my wife often, because i don't like fighting with her.
The lie that fat is bad is really the big kicker. Leads to high "bad" cholesterol, whereas it should be specified that oxidized LDL cholesterol is bad, not all LDL cholesterols. Sugar causes that oxidation. And by sugar, I mean high glycemic index items. Dextrin, glucose, fructose, sucralose, honey, molasses, they all have a number. Stevia and Erythritol and Monk Fruit are very low. Agave is even very low.
On keto (or meat-o), no problems, comes out easy and clean. Off keto, smears for days. Literally spend half my day on the toilet, crapping my brains out for half of that (1/4 of the day), and the other half wiping (the other 1/4).
On keto, pump and dump, instead of speed running in games, I'd speed run my poops. In-and-out. Half the time ghost-wiping.

Coconut oil is the other healthy one.
thank you!

standing up (is how I wanted to reply, because that would be funny)
Preaching to the choir, fren. The basic rule is, if you can't read all the names of the ingredients, you probably shouldn't eat it.
