Fruit is great - badabababa, I'm loving it.
But I'm trying to resist the call of cravings for chocolate and sweets My mom's really stingy on buying snack bars. We tried Weight Watchers ice cream once - it was gone in less than a week. I eat Special K in the morning. Or, rather, I did before our pantry got infested with ants I prefer my cereal without insects, thank you.

Fats are metabolically inert. You can eat a bowlful of fat without gaining an ounce. Ever wonder why the Inuit can avoid obesity even though they subsist on whale blubber? The Massai in Africa were almost completely carnivorous, and yet they were all tall, lean and healthy. Their diet was very high in fat, as they drank whole milk and blood and ate meat exclusively.

But they would hunt for their food. Which meant that instead of sitting in front of a TV, or in an office chair, or some other place that you don't do much, they were running and chasing their food.

More significantly, the Masai were farmers and nomadic herders. Their diet consisted of consuming one litre of domestically harvested whole milk per day, often mixed with cattle blood. The warriors themselves certainly didn't hunt by going out and sprinting after prey like a cheetah.

When George Mann documented these statistics in Atherosclerosis in the Maasai, the obesity comparison to both American agriculturists (farmers who are far more active in a day than the average couch potato) and the rural population of Bantu people in Tanzania (who live on a high grain, low fat diet) was quite succinct.
