On my last 10 day visit to Ireland I ate and drank like a Viking and dropped 11 pounds. That's anecdotal, sure, but it does make me wonder. My guess is that all the grass fed beef and butter helped--a lot!

You might like to read Fat Head Kids by Tom Naughton or the movie Fat Head. http://www.fathead-movie.com/

He does his experiment of n=1 in which he eats 3000 calories a day (or something like that) of all typical American food, gains weight and inches. Then eats 3000 calories a day of actual food like meat and eggs. Not sure if he still gains a small bit of weight, but he definitely loses inches.

Amazing.

Dr Mark Hyman has a book titled "eat fat get thin" with the background science plus a 3 week diet plan with menus. Tried it, lost 20 lbs & 2 in on waste. That was months ago, I eat natural foods and lots of fats and moderate carbs, no highly proceesed junk and haven't gained any weight back. try it

Must have been because he started eating a low carb/high fat diet.

I ran across a thread on X about this. I went through hundreds of comments and they all supported the same situation. How often does that happen on X?
