So Ars reprinted that from the original at mosaicscience.com and I guess that's from a Gastropod episode or at least that's a podcast companion to the story.

So Ars reprinted that from the original at mosaicscience.com and I guess that's from a Gastropod episode or at least that's a podcast companion to the story. It's on soundcloud.com iTunes Really interesting read on why it's so damn hard to figure out how to lose weight, or why it's so hard to control our eating sometimes. Is it genetics, gut microbes, insulin, existing fat cells? All of the above? More and more the science seems to agree stop eating sugar/carbs/whatever and that seems to help most people. BUT not everyone responds to sugar/carbs/whatever the same way if you measure blood sugar after you eat. AND it's hard to actually measure calories. Sure was much easier when all we had to do was "avoid fats", but apparently that was just wrong. http://mosaicscience.com/story/why-calorie-broken http://mosaicscience.com/story/why-calorie-broken https://soundcloud.com/gastropodcast/the-end-of-the-calorie https://soundcloud.com/gastropodcast/the-end-of-the-calorie https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-end-of-the-calorie/id918896288?i=361353657&mt=2 https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-end-of-the-calor...
