    Most of you know this. Many of you don't. You don't get fat by eating the wrong foods or your genetics or whatever. You get fat by eating too much. End of story.

    There are no magic diets. There are no evil nutrients. There are no bad foods. If you achieve and maintain a healthy body composition and exercise regularly you will have basically the best physical health you can have within a margin of maybe a couple of percent.

    Take ownership of how much you eat and you will succeed. That's what MFP is all about.

    ...except cauliflower. It's pure evil.




    .

    Agreed. It's of the Devil.

    It's only the devil because people keep trying to make it into something it's not. Let cauliflower just be......

    Cauliflower is Broccoli's ugly, bland, and tasteles younger sister that no one really wants around but tolerates because Broccoli's mom says so.

    yum yum cauliflower and spinach dip!

    The only thing I question is the broad generalization that body composition and exercise are all that are needed for optimal health...

    Eat less, move more. Hit your macros, eat something with a few frickin vitamins in it. And for the love, quit bickering with strangers on the internet.






    And buy a sandwich for the next homeless person you see!

    I would like to see the studies cited in that. Ebbeling has a bunch of studies out, all on obese subjects from what I have seen and also seeming to focus on the impact of different diets on people who were insulin resistant. I cannot find a research paper that discussed the all four diets mentioned in the article (it would be could to see if you anyone can find it). However, the article mentions that the study was for four weeks - not long enough to come to any conclusions. It also should be noted that protein was not held constant.

    Counterpoint.

    9 pages?! That's all?! MOAR!

    There's a good video to go along with it as well.

    Bottom line is that some people have different reaction to the carbohydrate nutrient than other people. Those people lose weight easier on a low-carb diet. Some people are on the other end of the spectrum and lose less weight on a low-carb diet and more weight on a low-fat diet.

    Sara -Here's another metabolic ward study that actually lasted 12 weeks. All of the subjects tried all of the diets in 3 different orders on a maintenance basis after weight loss. The low-carb folks had higher metabolisms than SAD or low-fat diet. Unfortunately the low-carb diet also increased the proportion of calories coming from protein, so that may be a confounder. In the end the study author recommends the low-glycemic diet because it improves inflammation markers better than either of the other two diets.

    Link here: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1199154
    "Conclusion Among overweight and obese young adults compared with pre–weight-loss energy expenditure, isocaloric feeding following 10% to 15% weight loss resulted in decreases in REE and TEE that were greatest with the low-fat diet, intermediate with the low–glycemic index diet, and least with the very low-carbohydrate diet."

    For the record, I am not a low-carber. I eat all kinda crap.

    Why would you ruin spinach by turning it into dip? It's a lovely vegetable all on its own.

    I won't dignify the use of yum in the same sentence as cauliflower with further acknowledgment.

    Is it this thread where I learned that homeless people should never eat McDonald's too?

    There's a reason why raw foodists call the Standard American Diet, SAD. American food does suck, but what sucks more, is the amount of food pushers and judgmental *kitten*-holes, out there. For someone like me, who is already an emotional eater, with a brain that never manufactures enough dopamine, it's a double edged sword. (Take away lots of stuff from me, but if you take my chocolate, you die). And, of course, the amount of judgmental arses, too. The whole american culture is sorta' despicable. If you are old, you are invisible. If you are overweight, you are invisible. If you are overweight and old..........well, you get the picture, I am sure. Peeps just have to remember........."there but for the grace of god, go I', be less judgmental, (we all got our challenges........peeps who judge obviously have theirs), and be more civil and kind, (old folks were young, once, just like me/you/and whoever else is under 30, on this site). Enuf' said?
