    It was a good article... thanks for posting.

    High protein diets work very well for weight loss and body recomp. Unfortunately, a lot of good folks here misinterpret that phenomenon and attribute their weight loss to their dogmatic adherence to a low-carb diet.

    The Energy Balance equation holds true and humans are subject to the laws of td....but like the article implies, that is very different from saying calories in vs. calories out. The equation is actually a fairly complicated formula.

    Oh, and I'm also glad the article didn't try to give us any hocus pocus about how consuming a lot of fat will help you lose weight. The TEF of fat is virtually negligible.
