Thanks for the shout out. I was particularly pleased with that comment, myself.

As for the actual why and wherefore, I believe it is explained by polyunsaturated fatty acids, various emulsifiers in the food damaging digestive satiety sensors, impoverished sugar-craving gut microbiomes, and various psychological factors that conspire to confuse people about what feeling hungry or full is even about. I believe that given a budget and an immunity against prosecution for various human rights violations, I could easily cure any single obese person young enough to survive my treatments.

And note that I don't merely mean I could get a person to lose weight. This is easy to do and the Soviets perfected a method ages ago. No, I mean I could actually effect a permanent cure. Anyone could really, but it's illegal.

What would your protocol look like?

The dietary component would be a half pound of raw beef organs, a cup of sauerkraut, a multivitamin, and sufficient beef tallow daily .The behavioral component would be several hours of mostly-naked sunlight exposure (especially first thing in the morning), several hours of high zone-one and low zone-two cardio, and frequent cold plunges daily (with a very-hot, very long sauna every fourth day. The medical component would be fecal transplant enemas, also daily. No electronics or artificial light sources.

I doubt that anyone of sufficient bodyfat percentage to qualify for this program could maintain it on a voluntary basis for more than a few days, so it would require regular beatings with a length of heavy hydraulic hose.

Lol that sounds like way too much organs, if there's liver in there. You're gonna poison people :D I'd also leave out the multivitamin, I hear bad things.

Personally, I don't digest beef fat well, so I'd just starve on your diet. Heavy cream for me. Unless you find a way to fix that, maybe ox bile supplementation or Hcl or something.

Yeah I meant an even mix of all available kinds of organ meat, including scrubbed tripe. I figure since we are beating the people with lengths of hose already, we might as well pull out all the stops. Also, it's not so much for the nutrition as to allow them to go back to eating tastier food afterwards while still remaining within the bounds of healthy. We don't want them to associate normal healthy cooked food with the worst period of their lives. So be good if they could eat grilled steak and a nice green salad afterwards without having that association. Not really sure what to do about the sauerkraut, I suppose it could be replaced with probiotic pills. As for the multivitamin, I mean something pricey like athletic greens, not the bedpan bullets they sell at the supermarket.

And as a matter of fact, I have been really curious about what it is that people who go without eating beef for a long time find it difficult about the fat. There has to be some kind of enzyme we could supplement with.

For the record, I haven't gone without beef in a decade and I still can't eat too much of it. Not sure what enzyme or bile or gall bladder thing it is.

Yes, that comment really brought home to me how different your experience of hunger is to mine. Well communicated!

> A single gallon! As if, when peckish, a second gallon might hit the spot. I can't do that. I couldn't force myself to do that without a gun pointing at my head.

Well then we've solved the mystery as to why this happens mostly in America ;)
