Carbs will cause you to stay hungry and overeat, and in addition your body will deposit fat cells. You need to consume protein and fat and very few or no carbs. No cakes, no cookies, no chips, no fruit. American dietary guidelines over the last 30 years have disparaged fats and encouraged people to consume carbs and to what result? An obesity epedemic as has never been seen before. People are blaming themselves for lack of will power and laziness, when a large part of it is fatally flawed dietary advice from the government itself.
