How do Italians eat pasta every day and not gain weight? Why do they have the lowest obesity rate in Western Europe? Why they don’t gain weight as easily as Americans do?

3y ago15:35

15:35

One of the reasons why so many people weigh more than they’d like, and keep gaining weight, is because they use food to meet needs that it can’t meet. You’re lonely and want connection, so you eat. You’re fearful, so you eat. You feel misunderstood, so you eat. But what’s wrong with those examples? Food can’t meet any of those needs. It can’t be yo…
