[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washington Post just published an editorial on a new scientific theory about weight gain that is fascinating, and pretty supportive of the material in the original article from this thread: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/28/obesity-carbohydrates-insulin-calories-fat/

In particular, this:

"This is a different model of obesity, the carbohydrate-insulin model. This theory puts the blame for rising levels of obesity on the processed, fast-digesting carbs that flooded our diets during the low-fat diet craze — white bread, white rice, prepared breakfast cereals, potato products and sugary foods. It posits that consumption of these carbohydrates raises insulin levels too high and produces other hormonal changes that program our body to store extra fat.

Looked at this way, obesity isn’t an overeating problem, it’s a calorie distribution problem — too many calories from each meal being siphoned off into fat tissue and too few remaining in the blood to satisfy the energy needs of the body. Consequently, our brains make us feel hungrier sooner after eating to compensate for those sequestered calories. [b]If we try to ignore hunger and restrict calories, the body conserves energy by slowing metabolism.[/b] In this sense, obesity is a state of starvation amid plenty."[/quote]

That sounds a lot like what Gary Taubes wrote in "Why We Get Fat." [/quote]

Also similar to Jason Fung.  Both of whom previous posters have dismissed.[/quote]
