Now I have lost 12 kg for 2 months (114 to 102 on 180cm height) - from just cutting soda and anything with sugar, and limiting starches to minimum and eating unlimited amounts of raw nuts, eggs, meat, cheese, olives. I was obese and now my BMI scaled me into overweight.
There is no relation with the two arguments btw - "People adapt fast" - yeah but the ability to spike your blood sugar and insulin all day long into the stratosphere is recent, and because of the modern health system there is no evolutionary pressure. A guy with type 2 diabetes will have long life. Just crappy.
I think that every person could build a good diet for themselves following these rules:
1. Cut soda unless in the middle of a marathon or a brutal workout
2. Treat anything with added sugar as dessert and eat it in amounts suitable for dessert two times a week top.
3. Don't eat anything that has had its fibers removed.
4. Always start the meal with a big leafy salad.
5. Avoid overly processed meat products, products with too much salt and fats that have gone trough other processing than mechanical/thermal.
