Robert Whitfield MD argues desserts, not meat, drive overeating. He cites a thought experiment: if you ate only island foods like meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables, you'd naturally reach healthy weight and metabolism without trying.

It's not the meat. It's like, very hard to overeat real foods. If you left someone, I love this Dr. Ted Naaman, one of my inspirations, friends of mine, he's like, do a thought experiment. If you left someone on a deserted island and all they had access to was meat and fruit or whatever was on that island, some vegetables, some fish, they would anyone, almost anyone in the world would come to their natural body composition and opt, like, natural metabolic health, right?
