Again, someone who says (Bashing low Carb diets Alert!) is saying "I know next to nothing about nutritional physiology."

Man I am glad you are on this thread to bring some sanity back. Sheeesh people here that think man is not supposed to eat like a cow. These people want to eat meat and nutrient dense green vegetables! They don't want to follow the nutrient guidlines set by George McGovern and a bunch of democrats and vegans! What morons!

Again I appreciate your contribution to the thread. It was literally packed with pertinent info.

Thanks

Again I appreciate your contribution to the thread. It was literally packed with pertinent info.

It was packed with pertinent information: Those who are on the anti-carb, high-protein bandwagon (including Atkins) either are nutritional ignoramuses or have pecuniary ulterior motives (Atkins).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you consume food, whether all vegetables or all meat or a mixed diet, that exactly replaces your kilocaloric expenditure, your weight will not change (if you're no longer growing). If your energy intake, regardless of the type of macronutrient, is less than your energy expenditure, you will lose weight. If your energy intake exceeds your energy expenditure, you will gain weight. The weight gain may be fat or muscle or both depending on the type and intensity of physical activity during hypercaloric intake.

People are not fat because they eat too many carbohydrates but because they exceed their energy expenditure by their energy intake. The relationship between eating and obesity is that simple.

These threads are invariably filled with horribly ignorant people ranting about "insuline" causing people to make fat from glucose (it almost never occurs to any appreciable amount in humans) or talking about ways of getting the body to produce the glucose it needs from fat (it cannot happen, period) or that cyanocobalamin is "natural" Vit B12 but methylcobalamin isn't or just about every possible quack remedy that derives its power by appealing to some mystical feeling evoked by the word "natural" or by appealing to a paranoid reaction against the idea that there could actually be experts while at the same time promoting itself as an anti-expert expert.
