An American was bemused why he always lost weight in Europe and these Europeans were only too happy to help

I think much of the problem here is the sugar, the high fructose corn syrup, saturated and trans fats, too wide a ratio of Omega 3 / Omega 6. Inflammation city!
Every other day I have a lunch of salmon, blueberries, broccoli, walnuts, 2 Brazil Nuts, and Beet Juice.
Healthy!

Your lean protein isn’t as lean as you probably think. Most American meat is banned from import in other western countries because all the ingredients pumped into it are illegal everywhere else

It’s not so much about what you eat but what you’re drinking. The sugar in US sodas, coffee and tea is killing you. Yes, plus the white bread and toasted bread are making everyone fat. And then add french Fries with every meal and then you got the additional lbs.

US food standards are horrific. Half your food is illegal in UK & Europe & for good reason. Just look at the poison you put in your bread. Bleached chickens due to filth. Look at Heinz ketchup in US v UK. Same bottle, completely different ingredients. Etc, etc, etc.

“The dose makes the poison.”
European portions are small. American portions are big.
Europeans walk a lot for transportation. America has effectively eliminated walking for transportation.
That’s it. It’s not magic food. It’s less food, more walking, talking and joy of life.

Maybe it’s also an exercise thing?
What’s your step count in both places?

Maybe not.
Basically, this.
Processed food in the US is the problem.
