These foods are your enemy Next time you go into a grocery store check out what they promote on the end of the aisles. Its all sugar and carbs. Read the packages and see what you are truly eating. Americans are in deep dodo with what they eat and the quanities. Major health problems await them at an ever earlier age, because of it.

I agree 100% with the bread, pasta, rice, potato, sugar comment. But you say you are "restricting" yourself to 100 grams? If what you say is true, that you don't exercise that is still too many. I trained for a 1/2 marathon, crossed trained with weight training and lived on 130 grams of carbs, 80 grams protein & 40 grams of fat daily.
Three nutrients... carbs, fat & protein. if you take in more than you need of ANY of them you will store the excess as fat. If you are Arnold you need a ton of protein, that builds muscle. If you're Lance you need a ton of carbs, for all the energy he needs. Also, your brain lives on carbs. And fat well you need that for good skin, etc.
And you are right food is killing America.
