Is it so? You know , i suspect this to be the case due to undersupply
of the coenzymes necessary in the Citric acid cycle,Pyruvate stage and
ribosimes. I'd like to see one obese person who eats carbohydrates
only from
whole seeds (thus not eating extracted carbohydrate).

At least a switch to fat cannot elevate the insulin level so high and
therefore avoid the hypoglycemic sugar craving.

that's true.
But protein and fat needn't be low if some carbohydrate is in the
food.

but is this natural?

40 or 45 % fat.
Less fat than 20 years ago. But still much more fat as any centuries
before.
Alas very bad fats are common. Frankenfat and zero-taste fat.

Cheers and a nice weekend to all
