Any thoughts on this?:

Makes sense.  Entire populations have existed largely on rice or potatoes.  You often hear stories in the US of people who are struggling living on potatoes.

When I was going through cancer treatment one of the foods I was able to eat for a while was black beans over rice with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese.  Good stuff.

My view is that there is a 3rd option:  eat no sugar and less carbs.

Now that's something that makes sense!

Arguably off-topic because it's a suggested long-term pattern of eating and this thread is about weight loss. Although you could suggest you can only maintain a change with a coresponding 'permanent' change in eating habbits. I like the part where he says cats are carnivore, you don't put them on seeds and greens, or something to that effect.

Refined sugar is the beast for sure. I think not a single diet doesn't mention getting rid of sugar. Just recently I've stopped drinking tea, coffee and sodas too, like Estes. I'm relatively sugar-free right now. Managed to do it only once before for a month so I'm not congratulating myself just yet. Very easy to slip back into it. Seems to require a particular state of mind to do it. Apparently uniquely for foods sugar has a runaway effect on your dopamine production. After only about four or five days I found the 'need' had gone.

I noticed that same thing when I cut down on sugar.  At first, I really wanted more of it, and it took some days before the craving for it was reduced.  Interesting.

I've never heard that anyone could revert to the pre-diet eating habits without gaining the lost weight back.

Keep up the great work!

To my eternal disgrace I laughed at that the first time I saw it on youtube. That is an intoxicated homeless person who someone paid to do that, so they could laugh at him, film it, and put it on youtube. That is evil.

Well, I seemed to have gained 1.8 lbs this last week.   :furious  I did look at another place where a guy kept track of his daily weight.  It was all over the place literally, but gradually came down.

Also, I wonder how accurate and consistent a home scale is?  I can get on and off a half dozen times and get several different weights.  The scale I use is a Camry brand.

A persons weight naturally varies by a couple of pounds every day. It depends on when you've eaten, how hydrated you are, when you last relieved yourself etc. If you've just eaten a big meal, drank a pint (or two) of lager, really need a piss and are nursing the great brown shark, you'll naturally weigh more than you did earlier in the day...
