Eating too much.....(more than your maintenance) regardless of macronutrient composition makes you fat. Just had to throw this out there.

    Totally agree. Backed up by the Twinkie Diet.

    Agreed, and posting this to pre-empt the blanket statements about insulin spikes from people who don't understand that fat oxidation will exceed fat storage in a caloric deficit.

    I'm sure most people know this. But people aren't getting fat from eating too much raw veggies. Based solely from the experiences I've heard on MFP, the problem foods tend to be refined, crappy, processed sugars/foods/etc. While cutting the excess calories they are consuming in order to create a deficit, sugar and carbs will inevitably be cut too. What's the issue?

    ETA: by "cut" I don't mean eliminate

    This would make sense, except high protein and high fat diets also contribute to insulin resistance.

    Insulin resistance is a symptom of obesity, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of causes for it, it's not just sugar and carbs.

    Oh, and that link came from a Google search for Insulin Resistance. So, if you're going to tell other people to google it, you may want to take your own advice.

    Then how do you get insulin resistance with the absence of obesity?

    I see I'm not the only one that never gets tired of the carb arguments. They are more fun even than water vs liquid or muscle weighing more then fat.
