You may cut fat too. I just want say. In my diet I did not really care other than cutting carbs.
Main thing is.
Dropping your blood sugar level. High blood sugar doing very nasty things
Humans can't consume sugar alone. You need lots of insulin to cosume sugar in cells. After some high insulin production, your cells begin to resistance to insulin. So you need more insulin to consume your high sugar. But pancreas has limit for insulin production. Some time after you got a lot of insulin resistance and lots of un used sugar in your blood. Thats lead type2 diabet.
Also insulin has another job. If finds fat in your blood. It sends to store immediately.
So here the scenario.
You got insulin resistance, you have to much blood sugar and because of this you got too much insulin on your blood.
After one hour from eating 2 double whopper, large fries and drink 2 liters of coke. Insulin already send your fat in storage and your cells does not consume sugar because of high insulin resistance. Your cells demand energy and send "You dumb f*ck we need energy. Eat more" Messages.
In documentary, commentator eat only Mac's for entire month. He drops weight, cholesterol and any other thing. His doctor was amazed. Even after he gonna beyond that. I see full cream covered meats and very high fat and he still drops weight.
I remember maybe 10 years ago I visit my friend village. Next morning they serve a Egg, Meat cooked with butter. After some gulp I fell full. His uncle eat half of entire thing and goto do very hard farm work (cutting weeds with very large reaphook) under very hard sun. And this guy eats like this in every day. And he was at more 60 years of age. He does not show and fat and weakness.
I know very old peoples from our eastern villages, which their standart diet was just Red Meat and refuse to eat vegatables.
Main problem is blood sugar.
Thats why people get obese, thats why you attack refrigerator at 2 o'clock AM. thats why you develop type2 dieabet.
After 1950's we eat more synthetic sugar and synthetic fat. Sugar and synthetic fat (Corn, cotton, canola, soybean) are artifical. Human metabolism can't consume it. Also cholesterol was good for your body. We needs everywhere, it repairs our body. And synthetic fat has some bad cholesterol or ghost cholesterol which blocking heart pipes.
And in Usa poor people can feed from those fastfoods cheaply. They are still expensive here. Also Hazelnuts are common here (we produce more than 70 percent of total world production). Also accessing raw foods not big deal. Many of us has village connections. which they produce buttler, olive oil. Also getting fresh fruit was easy. Or you may go fishing by yourself.
Of course we had own poor which they got $1 per day. They have to go with pasta and bread.
