You can't get fat on a diet that is strongly deficient in carbs, while it's easy to get fat on a diet containing high proportions of fat and carbs.
The Eskimo subsist on meat and blubber alone. Roald Amundsen ran the experiment on himself and confirmed it.
- Pinguinsan 6y agoThe group of people you're referencing (Inuit people btw, Eskimo is a slur) have some of the highest obesity rates in the world! The Nunavuts have an obesity rate of 48%! The ethiopians have a diet of mostly carbohydrates (>70%), and are extremely lean. Taubes is a bullshit artist who cherry picks data to sell books.
