I do have a couple of coke zeros each day. But I skipped all sodas for a year
and nothing changed. The only thing that has ever helped was a <1000 cal diet.

You eat artificial sweeteners? A growing body of evidence is indicating that
artificial sweeteners do a number on your gut biome. That and there is an
indication that artificial sweeteners also have the opposite of the intended
effect (they contribute to weight gain).

There are interesting links between process sugars, the gut biome, sugar
addiction, dopamine, seratonin, motivation, and mental health.

I completely agree with this.
You can Google anything you like that will agree with what you want to
happen.
For me, I’m just going with what seems natural, mostly plant based diet
with the odd BBQ thrown in for fun :-)

You'll always find a study proves or disproves anything you want.
I don't mean cereal either. Juice, eggs, meat, etc.
Weight management is mostly about balanced meals in appropriate quantities.

Recent studies say otherwise. A myth promulgated by Special K.

Not having breakfast is part of your problem.

While I am sure that the mix of the food you eat has a significant effect
on your health, pretty sure almost all of us eat too much. And I don’t think
you can generalize too much because your genetics affect how you metabolize
your food. Eskimos can survive and thrive without fruit and veggies. My wife
is Swedish and wants nothing but meat. I don’t ever want meat.
I wish I could just cut back. It doesn’t seem like I eat too much but the
numbers say I do. Most days I don’t have breakfast, I have a 300 cal microwave
meal and then one smallish plate of home cooked in the evening. Not lots of
snacks. Still the pounds are up, the triglycerides are up, the blood sugar is
up.
Perhaps meth is the answer. Have been watching Breaking Bad straight
through since the holidays. Just started the final season yesterday.

You ought to read "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz
(https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/1451624425).
Her contention is that a guy by the name of Ancel Keys started it all when
he published a study in the 1950s called "The seven country study". In it he
asserted that the so-called "Mediterranean diet" was the key to good health.
Her research contends that the seven country study was cherry picked from a
study of about 30 countries. Keys went on a multi-decade crusade to sell his
theory, and a bunch of other questionable dietary studies.
The American diet changed from a largely meat-centric (and higher in fat)
diet to the allegedly healthy low-fat diet of today.
Part of her analysis looks at the remarkably successful Atkins diet that
turns the Mediterranean diet on its head.

The more medical research I do, the more history I read, the more I'm
rapidly coming to the belief that the increase in processed sugar in the 1940s
and beyond in American foods has had a hugely negative effect on our current
social, mental health, medical, and political issues. Not that it's the root
cause (way too many factors), but it's definitely a huge contributing factor.
Has anybody else looked up any research on this lately?
