The fault lies with the official dietary advice. In obesity, the problem of rampant obesity means that it is obviously not the fault of the people. But if 99 students fail, then it’s not a problem with the students. Imagine, though we have a classroom of 100 pupils. Our advice was good, ‘Medicine’ tells you. When it doesn’t work, ‘Medicine’ frequently assumes it’s your fault for not being able to stick with the advice. This advice doesn’t work for most people. ‘Medicine’ tells you to eat a low-fat diet, and to eat six or more times a day. ‘Medicine’ tells you that obesity is a caloric balance problem and that you should eat less and move more. So, if you have tried calorie restriction to lose weight and failed, you are not alone. This ‘caloric reduction as primary’ advice has an astounding failure rate. This does not lower insulin much since dietary fat has little insulin effect and eating frequently constantly stimulates insulin secretion. The standard (failed) weight loss advice is to restrict a few calories every day by reducing dietary fat and eating multiple times per day.
