    The first law of Thermodynamics: delta U = Q - W + (E - food energy) does not care if E comes from wheat grass or Doritos.

    Wheat grass isn't Paleo. Your argument is invalid.

    No , this is not correct. You have to eat these foods after 7 pm for them to make you fat.

    But not after midnight, or you turn into a gremlin.

    Ugh. Just this morning during some volunteer work, I had to listen to several ladies explain exactly what they couldn't eat, corn being one of them. Then they started in on how processed foods caused diabetes. I bit my tongue the entire time until the processed food comment. Then I just mentioned that if everyone was within their ideal weight ranges that the occurrence of adult onset diabetes would be extremely rare. They didn't say much for a few moments before getting back to more mumbo jumbo crap about how the food industry is addicting us to their foods and working their hardest to make us fat.

    Oh, and corn syrup is the DEVIL!

    *deep breath*

    I'm ok now.

    ignorant people find it easier to blame others for their problems than to admit that they are ignorant. the whole weight loss industry makes a mint off of this simple fact.

    ignorance of course just means not being properly informed and its not a slur.

    QFT

    Aye. The sad thing though, when you try to make them less ignorant, they fight you tooth and nail like it's their religion. And that's why I rarely say a word.

    You are smart. And now you have MFP where you can speak your mind and there MIGHT on certain days be someone rational around to hear it. If a tree falls in the forest...but everyone's loudly bashing corn does anyone hear it?

    Before you decide to trust the corn industry that sugar is sugar, read http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Heart_Letter/2011/September/abundance-of-fructose-not-good-for-the-liver-heart

    Personally, I'll avoid fructose except as found in whole fruits, thank you. Hubby has high triclycerides. What did his doctor tell him to avoid eating? Fruit.

    What we know about how our bodies cope with fats and sugars is changing. Calorie figures for foods are based on laboratory combustion of those foods and measurement of energy release in the form of heat. The human body is not a fire in a laboratory. We do digest different things differently and realize different amounts of energy creation from their digestion even when calories may be the same.

    This does not mean we should forget about the gross relationship between calories and weight gain or loss. Rather it means we should be smart about what we eat and not be seduced by HCFS-laced foods specially developed to taste good and entice us to eat more.

    So, indeed, no food "makes" you gain weight but some foods are more likely to enable it than others.

    Now some science about insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is linked with having too much visceral fat in the abdomen, in other words, fat around your vital organs. This fat behaves differently from the fat under your skin (subcutaneous fat). Read http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Abdominal-fat-and-what-to-do-about-it.htm for an explanation.

    How can we shed visceral fat? By getting our weight under control and regular exercise.

    I agree that one food does not make you fat, HOWEVER, I find I lose quicker when I keep my carb sources from fruit and veg and focus on protein. Not saying carbs make you gain weight, but for MY body it's harder with grains and starches.

    What about those of us diagnosed with insulin resistance that have a BMI of 21ish and body fat 26%? We do exist and we may not notice the signs of it because everyone tells us you have to be overweight to have insulin resistant or have PCOS. All I knew was that my hormones were out of whack, I didn't feel well and that I was tired all the time. Boom... doctor says watch sugar and white carbs and put me on Metformin.

    You CAN lose weight on diets with these things in them, but you may not know the damage you are doing to your body. I would suggest someone get the O.K. from the doctor before beginning the "ice cream" diet.

    It's wonderful the way the CICO folks almost completely downplay the impact of hormones on fat storage.
