NY Times Article of interest to many of us

We see the ongoing debate here about whether it's all about calories in calories out or if carbs make a difference. Well this article cites some studies that address this question and found that macros do matter. Food for thought, no pun intended.
Some interesting research....

LOL I'd suggest doing a tad more research on the subject since Taubes et al are full of it on this subject

On a purely personal level, I say yes and no to the "refined carbs are evil" debate. No, because when it comes down to it, I've experience "calories in, calories out" - the less I eat, the more I move, no matter what, the more weight I lose.


That being said, my macro composition from meal to meal definitely affects my hunger levels. If I eat a bowl of corn flakes with a banana at 8 AM, I can guarantee that I will be starving at 10 AM - probably more so then if I had just skipped breakfast all together. Now, if I have a small bowl of cornflakes, a banana and two eggs scrambled with some cheese? Or cornflakes with an apple and a yogurt? My hunger won't spike and I won't be as likely to binge later.

I'm definitely interested in the research side of things - I'd like to read the actually studies this author describes. I eat sugary foods every day - so I certainly don't have a problem with them. But I am a little skeptical of the honesty of the sugar industries (any big Agra industry really) in telling consumers the truth, or in funding honest research. We need more, independent, WELL-CONTROLLED research on this topic.

Is there some confusion between Ludwig and Lustig?

I think Ludwig is a little more credible than Lustig, but I admit, I haven't read the article because of my iPad's inability to copy and paste....

Edit: got the copy and paste happening and read the article and paper in JAMA. It's a hypothesis, an interesting one, but still so hypothesis at this stage. Apparently studies are underway. I'll be keen to see results of these studies.

Umm....correct me if I'm wrong but... http://www.wikihow.com/Copy-and-Paste-on-iPhone,-iPad,-or-iPod-Touch

Lol, I had to copy and paste to read how to copy and paste. Thanks for posting this though. :flowerforyou: I think I've figured it out.
