In some cases the problem is a lot more of sugar, soda, and overall bad food. Drink a lot of water, eat two meals a day, and make those meals more with chicken and meats, less of carbs, and far less sugar.

Completely agree with your assessment of the problem, but I suspect the US diet is already much too meat and animal products based, and encouraging people to lose weight by eating more meat is both bad for the environment and probably not great for their health.

"Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

> The standard american diet (SAD) is characterized by high amounts of processed foods, refined carbohydrates and added sugars, refined fats, high fat dairy products and red meat.

The problem isnt too meat and animal products it is the whole thing. Litterally any diet choice that deviates from the SAD has positve value.

I agree with "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." but the thing to do more of is to rip the whole diet up and start again.
