The mystery is in why some people eat more than they need and others don't. It's easy to say eat less calories, but until we solve the underlying biological reasons why certain people get full before overeating and don't gain weight and why certain people are always regaining lost weight your solution isn't going to help very many people.(Hint, see the satiety signals and hunger hormone comment I made lower down.)

There is a new trend of carnivore diets and I've noticed a lot of testimonials on youtube, where people swear they can eat as much meat as they want and still lose weight. Also some supposedly cured inflammations and other issues, probably because eating only meat is an extreme elimination diet.

It is however a very tasty elimination diet. I've tried it; ate all kinds of beef, lamb, pork, and fish: muscle meat, liver, roe, eggs, and somes dairy. Re: inflammation - I don't know what my hsCRP was beforehand, but during this experiment it was below the detectable range; all other inflammatory markers were low as well (insulin, IFG-1, fibrinogen, homocysteine, ferritin). I was only hungry about once a day, and leaned out quite a bit.
