I do agree with you, it's possible to do pretty much anything. I remember when I was younger, I did atkins, it didn't work for me. I was just being a pig and over riding my signals. With my yo-yoing I mentioned above, lost 250, gained back 60, lost 20 again, was binging a bit. I knew the issue was the carbs, so I went…

I corrected your quote. Most of the top health experts preach the balance energy equation. It looks like this. FatGain = CaloriesConsumed – Calories Burned It states that if we eat more than we burn we get fat. This is taubes view of the issue. If more fat goes in to our fat cells than what is coming out we become fat.…

You're slightly late to the party, I have mentioned genetic issues. I originally stated, some people do do well on high carbs. There is a range of carb tolerance. The people who are over weight most likely have some degree of insulin resistances. The activity part, was from a Meta-Analysis I posted. It pretty much said…

Why do we have to be ore active to maintain our weight? As already discussed activity really doesn't do anything for weight management. I won't touch on the topic of psychological issues. I really don't know that much about them. I just suspect that sugars do have a negative impact on brain function, I am not certain…

I'll explain it, those types of foods are for primates. If we ate those foods, we will not have developed the way we have in to the humans we are. We can eat those foods of course, but they wouldn't have helped our development as a species if that's all we ate.

It's not a solution because it's not realistic. It doesn't address the problem at hand. If you want to go eat candy all day, be hungry all day and lose weight by counting your calories, go for it, but it won't last.

Okay yeah it's horrible advice. It's worse then the advice, of "eat less move more." If you had to go build up an appetite, how do you do it? You eat less to get hungry, and probably go out and exercise burn some calories. So to get hungry you "EAT LESS MOVE MORE" great way to lose weight, go around being hungry, makes…

You're too slow to get the point, I guess you where born knowing advance engineering and physics. You never had to understand anything in your life. I get it. Yet you sit here making blank statements with no proof or no counters, just pointless words. I get it...

Oh so you monitor to prevent yourself from OVER EATING... why do you over eat in the first place, what's the problem that causes you to do that?

Of course it is, you can say "you're wrong" all you want with out any evidence or proof to back up your claims.

People's brains hurt when they don't have the intellectual capacity to understand something. You know, if I start showing equations of differential equations, and advanced physics(engineering physics) and you sit there trying to understand it. Okay as I said, i'll catch up later people.

Look at it like this. YOur sandwhich example. What has a higher GI response, some sandwhich meat, with mayo and the vegetables you choose. Or the same exact thing with adding bread? It does matter. I'll come back to all this later. Really busy right now.

In a free living country, if people are hungry, they will more than likely eat. Calorie restriction(monitoring calories), is not the solution to the problem. You can sit there eating high GI foods all day. If you're under your calorie limit, you won't get fat. But that doesn't explain "WHY" most Americans are fat. To…

Incase you missed it. "Alan Argaon(most people know who he is) Vs Lustig. Lustig claims that sugar is the cause of the obesity epidemic. Alan counters with, “no the problem is due to sedentary life style, and an increase consumption of calories.” This is the data Alan posts to support his claim • Meats, eggs, and nut kcals…

Yes, but do you know what GI measures? How quickly glucose raises in the blood. Thus insulin levels.

"way to read only half of what I wrote." We're OVER EATING because we're eating high GI foods which CAUSE US TO OVER EAT. But yes, I was going to address your post fully, I saw it, but I thought I didn't reply. I was trying to find it. As I said in my post, genetic factors play a role as well. You don't look…

A quack that sells books? Sounds like Lyle Mcdonald. Or people who sells personal coaching services on MFP. I didn't read that, link i'll read it later. I skimmed through it. I thought it was about a debate coming up. I would like to watch it. As I already pointed out, Alans views are flawed. He doesn't even realize he's…

Once again, activity means nothing. Isolated exercise "activity" doesn't produce significant changes in body weight. "CONCLUSION: Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise programs of 6-12 months induce a modest reduction in weight and waist circumference in overweight and obese populations. Our results show that isolated…

you're making blank claims. Back up how my post is "terribly low" The law of mathematics. If you ever taken a course in arithmetic, such as 2+2=4, You know understand how math laws are true. That is called the law of addition.

HAHA, the law of thermodynamics are in the long post you didn't read. I never refute the law of thermodynamics. Guess what? Neither has Gary Taubes, As I said many people just don't understand. I said the law of thermodynamics tells us "WHAT HAPPEN" it says NOTHING about the "WHY" it happens. THe law of gravity will say an…

There are lean people in the US, that are surrounded with tons of food too. So your statement also tells us nothing.

You can sit there, having your hormones telling you to eat and eat. Or be hungry. That is a choice. I agree with that. But it's an idiotic choice to sit there and be hungry.

It's okay, I understand that obesity and high GI foods kill brain cells. People now a days only understand pictures or videos.

Yet you also count calories. You think animals in the wild sit there counting calories? Someone might bring up exercise. saying "The animals are more active." It's commonly known that exercise alone doesn't produce weight loss. It causes people to eat more. The body is trying to maintain homeostasis. In my "LONG" post. I…

He's not a quack, you just don't understand what he's saying as most people don't understand what he's saying.

To explain the problem? People are looking at the energy balance incorrectly. The energy balance equation looks like this. In terms of obesity. FatGain = CaloriesConsumed – Calories Burned. This is proven by mathematics, it’s true. It states if you consume more energy than you burn you get fatter. That’s just stating the…

Once again depends what they eat. You missed the point. The point was that over eating is a CAUSE of something. The cause is hormones.

Doesn't explain anything in terms of what causes obesity.

I should have corrected my post. But I meant to mention high GI foods. WIth that stated, I bet you a million to 1, you were eating high GI foods when you gained body fat.

That's also incorrect. Everyone who over eats doesn't get fat. For example children who over eat grow, people who lift weights and over eat grow muscles. Over eating isn't the problem. You state it's a choice, so I guess you never binged in your life.
