Italy, those people a thin and smoking hot. I noticed the diet is lots of veggies, pasta, and very small amounts of meat. Small portions, and what’s funny, no gyms anywhere in sight, yet they are rail thin.

Surprisingly eating lots of meat causes weight gain.

Meat is particularly problematic for putting on pounds because it contains protein and saturated fat, both of which promote weight gain. That's not the only bad news about meat. “Too much animal protein has also been scientifically linked to inflammation in the body, which can also cause weight gain,” Richter says.

There, I fixed your quote for you.

Yes, a lot of red meat can be bad for you if that is all you consume. Go read some of Dr. Shawn Bakers, the guy behind the Carnivore Diet, work and you will see how a mostly meat based diet can be very beneficial for anyone.

Fixed your post for correctness.

That’s not the only bad news about meat. “Too much animal protein has also been scientifically linked to inflammation in the body, which can also cause weight gain,” Richter says. While the occasional lean steak or burger is probably OK to eat, meat should be a sideshow to your diet and not the main attraction, she adds.

Opinionated "correctness"

I will listen to someone with a doctorate over a masters any day

Go read the link I posted and let me know what you think.

I was replying to another member about Italy's low meat diet and their leaner population. It just makes sense.

They also don't have the access to the refined sugars that people in the US do.....as I mentioned earlier

But you also tried to link meat to obesity in the US, which is highly inaccurate.

Sugar consumption by country:

It could be both sugar and meat is causing obesity issues.

As someone who has had plenty of dealings with overweight people and their habits, I can tell you that 90% of the obese in America are not due to meat. Their biggest issue is not putting down the fork.

The issue in America is fast food, processed food, sugars, carbs, and general overeating.

But again, do yourself a favor and go read through some of Dr. Bakers work and see for yourself if meat is the real issue.

I don't generalize like you do because metabolisms vary greatly, but I can't disagree with those other issues you mention either.

It's not generalizing when you live it every day, but some of us have different life experiences than others and aren't blind to that fact.

Metabolism is not the issue

We've become a nation of fatty boom-ba-latties.

Of course metabolism plays a part as in DNA, get real man.

You can re-train your metabolism.

Overeating overpowers that every single time

Sure but the will has to be there, which in overeating would be a mountain to climb.
