New study out of Harvard -- TYPE of calories matters more

EvgeniZyntx

I think the advantage is likely appetite control on the lower carb diet. It seems to be very difficult for many obese people to control their appetite enough to stay in calorie deficit when they are eating lots of carbs.

This is the only argument I bother with. It allows great appetite control for me. Therefore adherence to protocol is followed. That's the point right?

I can fully buy that argument without reservation. If it creates satiety and adherence, it's a good thing. What I don't buy is when people make miraculous claims such as being able to eat at a caloric surplus and still lose weight.

One poster made that claim. The study did not. You can drop the BS act now.

Nor was there a difference in satiety in the different diets - the study reports the same level of self-reported satiety across the protocols.

i was referring to anvilhead's assertion about losing weight on a calorie surplus.
