Interestingly, you mention a rice-based diet at cause of Egyptian obesity.
The same is seen as cause for lower obesity levels in Asia!

I believe the key thing is moderation, and less the type of food someone is eating.

Just wanted to comment on this common misconception. Fat, meat and dairy products are not the problem, quite the opposite. Fat does not get stored as fat, sugar does. The fad of "low fat" products is the biggest scam food industry has sold us - do not fall for it.

Keep away from sugar and carbohydrates though. This may sound easier than it sounds - just read the nutrition facts label on most products and you will realize most of them are loaded with sugar, with the good stuff (fat/proteins) removed.

Stick to this, eat moderately, and do a minimum physical activity which is a low 20 minutes of light excercise per day (and that includes walking) and you should be good.

All this comes from personal experience.

Agree with you, but here I am talking about in general diet of developed nations, no doubts- confectioneries and sugar are as culpable as fat. But the value of calories provided by 1 unit of fat is more than twice of that of same unit of carbohydrate.
And FYI- FAT is stored as FAT, excess carbohydrate can be stored as FAT too, protein will never be converted to FAT, though interchange is possible for protein to be used as an energy source in body in certain circumstances.
If one really needs to lose weight sincerely, activity of more than 40 minutes a day with consistency of more than 4 days a week is required. Body generally doesn't burn FAT initially, so only when one is active for continuous duration of more than 30 minutes, it is possible.
Here I am talking about well proven and discovered science, and partial Personal experience........as I have never been on that side of BMI.....LOL
One more thing, no one eats sugar as a sole food, it is always used in recipes where fat is there to accompany. Unfortunately nature made it in a way that, when these two things combined they are feast for the senses, and Protein was kept behind in terms of delivering addictive taste.
Anyways..........Thanks for your inputs, take home message is low fat, low carbs, high and good quality protein in diet with moderately active lifestyle for healthy life.

Unless there is a psychological cause, then it becomes a bit more complicated.

Not much difference, it just becomes:
Eat less, eat healthier, exercise more. Not so simple.
