@livinlowcarbman This is true. Medical doctors seem to be the biggest purveyors of bad diet information, based on the conventional paradigm of nutrition. I always found it odd that doctors are many times left with the task of dispensing dietary advice, when they have little or no training in nutrition. If even nutritionists, whose specialty is nutrition, get confused by all the misinformation out there, how do we expect someone whose specialty isn't nutrition to give us guidance?

@livinlowcarbman Thank you so much for this lecture series. Gary Taubes is such a pleasure to listen to, and he is my favorite expert on diet and nutrition because he is such a maverick - and more importantly a maverick that has sound logic, evidence and reason on his side. If I could change one thing about the science curriculum in our universities I would make his book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" required reading in every nutrition class in the country.

Ah this is b/s. The reason for the equal or greater weight loss in the LC group is the initial water weight, plus the weight loss that comes from eating less due to the appetite suppressing qualities of protein, and balanced blood sugar.

@LordShandor How could I have been in a caloric deficit? Didn't you read what I typed?

[livinlowcarbman]

@LordShandor Wow, tell us how you really feel. 

[LordShandor]

@livinlowcarbman if I were promoting a horseshit cult belief system that contradicted science and common sense I would probably sigh too.

[livinlowcarbman]

@LordShandor Sigh. 

[LordShandor]

@livinlowcarbman only if by "outstanding" you mean "full of lies and distortions". What Taubes is selling is the modern day equivalent of magic. Same crowd that falls for diet pills and weightloss gimicks eat this up. The evidence contradicts him at every turn. Insulin does not do magic and create energy from thin air. People are fat because they eat too much. What people eat is meaningless when discussing overall weight.

@alphacause my god you are ignorant about this topic. Weightology-dot-net /?p=265

Taubes is a liar and distorts the research at almost every turn. As Lyle McDonald says, "Taubes is wrong about everything."

[LordShandor]

@GoddessFourWinds lost weight or fat? There is a difference you know. And if you lost more than a few pounds it is because you were in a calorie deficit. It had nothing to do with what you ate.

@LordShandor I ask the same question about The China Study book. Makes me glad GCBC is an outstanding resource.

[LordShandor]

@livinlowcarbman why should a book misleading people be required reading?
