Americans tend to be heavier because of the portion size of food we consume. Any diet that reduces portion size will help you lose weight and keep it off. Eat meat and not carbs? Great! Smaller portion of food. Eat only vegetables? Great! Smaller portions of food. Smaller portions mean less calories.
Many diseases are caused by a lack of vitamins or minerals. You are doing yourself a disservice if you avoid certain food groups. Again, Asians eat balanced meals and are some of the healthiest humans on the planet and live longer than other races. Btw: No, I am not Asian. They just happen to be a perfect example for this thread.

Bears are omnivores eat anything they can get. Bears need to put on weight so they can hibernate and survive winter. Ever see how actually fit a grizzly is as it runs down an adult elk.
Giraffe? Plant based diet. Don't look fat to me.
Absolutely agree that portion size and balance in diet and exercise is key.
? Is not rice (which I love) not a carb?
