meat
Ever been to BBQ with a Mexican? An ex gf had some Mexican friends come over for a BBQ, they pull up in a, bondo-ed up, jalopy, seats torn out, yadda yadda.
pulled out a cooler with probably $500+ of steak in it. like most beaners they had a brood of kids and I'm sure got fat gibs.
if meat is on the program it should be limited to ground beef chubs or whole chickens

49% of sugar consumed is hidden in foods, plus 35% from sugary drinks and 16% from desserts/sweets. It's sugar that's causing the obesity.
