Kessler

David A Kessler, in his book,
the End of Overeating has
explained why a subset of the population
has a problem.
The essence of the problem is:
High Palatable food is screwing up
satiation in susceptible people.

I am one.

After much muttering about,
clearly defining ever "big" word,
we are a phenotype
(a subset of the population) which:
lack food eating resistance,
lack satiation,
lose control of eating,
and are preoccupied with food.

OK

We represent 50% of the obese,
30% of the overweight,
17% of normal weight people.

OK

The solution is to exclude all
"highly palatable" food from our diet.

OK

So WTF are "highly palatable" foods?

Turns out:
All manufactured products,
aka --layered fats, sugars, and salt,
on a bit of protein or carbohydrates,
all food that combine fats with
starches or carbohydrates,
all foods contain more than trace sugars.

Sounds like Zoe Harcombe diet... sort of.

Few natural food contain both sugar and fats.

But the acid test is to come,
does it work for me?
This is not a big change for me:
no salad dressing,
no butter on vegetables
no ketchup, not even the dab that I use.

But this is not how he expresses it all.
In his detailed, pleasant and positive manner,
the message is almost lost.

Industrial Fat Machine

Do we humans stand a chance of being normal weight against the industrial selling more products machine?
http://weightmaven.org/2013/10/16/why-we-overeat-the-toxic-food-environment-and-obesity/

The cause of obesity is research and the industral selling machine.

So no industrial products, eliminate tv and food advertising from our life. AKA return to 19th century. Real food, not to much.

Some thing are up to us, and somethings are not. Our appetite is not up to us, but what we put in our mouths is, so some of us are doomed to go through life drooling like a Newfie, a large wet mouth hound.
