This should be interesting whatever the results.

I can't gain weight on a 3000 KCal diet. The same diet would have killed at least one of my ex-wives, and would have made the Natl. Enquirer with her funeral.

People have different metabolisms. Go figure.

Embracing a fixed idea is one of the main dangers in the evolution of any scientific discipline.

...and especially the field of climatology.

Gary is a brilliant guy. I used his book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" extensively to write my chapter on Ike's heart attack for "Seven Events that Made America America."

To me he proves without a shadow of a doubt that Atkins works. Of course, I have a wife who loves to bake, and who cooks using a lot of carbs. So I have an excuse.

The ONLY scientific weight formula proven countless times (and disproven only for a few extraordinary cases) is:

(lower Calories )+ (exercise) =weight loss

The more you increase the variables on the left the more you get results on the right.

Everything else is wishful thinking.

And I am working on the left but I don’t hold out any visions of anything affecting my weight except hard work and discipline.

Medicine operates, according to an ID friend of mine, much like a religion. To attack principles that are believed holy will be met with much resistance. A good example of this is statins and cholesterol where the side effects are frequently ignored in groups such as geriatric patients. First do no harm often goes out the window in the zeal to prescribe the holy drug.

Thanks neverdem :Gary Taubes is very good indeed. He points out that fat does not make fat but carbs do. If you’re interested see this article...

More than 3,000 epigenetic switches control daily liver cycles affecting blood glucose concentrations.

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

-——The carbohydrate content of the diet must be rectified to restore health.———

My own experimentation with myself tends to verify this statement. Carbohydrate consumption levels influence my numbers. The numbers are in fact indicative of feeling well.

Eat carbs in excess, get indigestion, awake at 3:00 am and sleep poorly. (all carbs are equal except potatoes, and they are more equal)

Eat more fats than none, moderate carbs, no indigestion, sleep all night.

The latter course along with exercise controls or reduces weight and the general feeling of well being
