Honestly, it boggles my mind how someone can eat even a modest amount of fruits, veg., legumes, and whole grains alongside a generally healthful (not necessarily low fat, but healthful) diet and stay overweight. Not all of those foods every day necessarily, but I ran the numbers, and it just doesn't add up. Every chronically overweight person I know, once I know them well enough, seems to be putting down 500 kcal./day through some guilty pleasure like that pint of ice cream in the freezer, a super sweet creamy coffee drink in thr morning, a big slice of chocolate cake with lunch regularly, a large glass of wine with dinner etc. And it's almost _daily_.
