Calorie in/calories out is only half the story, if that much. The hormones in your body affect your metabolism, whether and how you store fat, whether and how you have strong cravings. Read Gary Taubes.[/quote]

This has been studied ad nauseum in the lab.  Calories in/ calories out is exactly 100% of the story.[/quote]

That is precisely NOT what the science shows. You can get people to gain weigh on a starvation diet. [/quote]

Please link to your sources.  I'll start.  In the Minnesota Semi-starvation Study, participants lost 25% of bodyweight.

I didn't say people couldn't lose weight by starving, I said you could get them to gain weight on the same diet, and you can, if you adjust their hormones.

For example, artificial sweetners affect your hormonal response to food and cause gain:

The same is true of products like olestra:

Eating a ton of sugar causes many hormonal changes that differ from the same number of calories in meat or vegetables:

We know you change your insulin levels by what you eat. 
Changes in insulin levels will affect how strongly you crave more food and whether your body stores calories as fat:

The point is that food affects your hormones and your hormones affect what your body does with calories and cravings, which in the end will affect what you eat next.

Lustig has been pretty thoroughly debunked, but I'll give you that what you eat impact what you want to eat next.  That has nothing to do with calories in/ calories out.  Nothing I saw in those links suggested that you could get people to gain weight on a starvatIon diet.  Where is that?[/quote]
