It’s not (necessarily) about food manufacturers, it’s about processed carbohydrates and snacking. We’ve been “pulverizing” stuff for millenia, way before food manufacturers—it’s called flour. Even in Nature you can get plenty of low-fiber carbs, like honey and tropical fruits. Some of the highest G.I. foods are “natural”, like white rice and baked potatoes (cooking alone, a form of processing, can drastically increase G.I.). That’s why there were obese people even in the middle ages (though less ofc, because of scarcity, more physical activity and more sun exposure).
To lose weight is simple, you need to stop killing your metabolism with constant eating and excess carbohydrates—of any kind, so that you can get into ketosis, which will 1) produce definite results, 2) eliminate carb cravings completely, 3) fully correct your lifestyle-damaged metabolism over time and a lot of other health benefits. I.e. keto + intermittent fasting. There’s really not much to it, yet we complicate it because we refuse to accept the overwhelming empirical evidence (just go to a keto Facebook group for instance), or put it into the “fad diet” box (when it’s not a diet, it’s something you must do for life to remain slim (and most importantly, healthy)).
