Here's an idea. Could it be that Kwasniewski's "Optimal Diet" takes us down to our optimal weight? And that the optimal weight for Homo sapiens has a few kilos more body fat than contemporary American ideals? That is, the Optimal Diet won't take you down any further simply because further is not optimal.

It may be that if Kwasniewski examined you he would pinch that small roll of fat around your tummy admiringly and ask where on earth you got the crazy idea you had to lose another 20 lb.
