Following that logic, people with different tastes would conclude that carbs are worse than fat.

Diet is has far more weight in weight (pun intended) than exercise. Just by exercising it is almost impossible to loose weight.

Apparently combining carbs with fat is conducive to fat accumulation. So, avoiding that pasta with olive oil or butter is a good idea if you want to loose weight.

What I do is more like "paleo" than Atkins, but they are similar. Apparently both diets avoid grains and sugar. Check out the comment about by jpb that refers to Robert Lustig's talk. It is very interesting. It refers to your point that low

Many vegetarians eat some food from animal sources, like eggs, milk, yogurt, etc. On the other hand, I have heard cases of people that tried to be pure vegan and had serious health problems.

I know, that's was one of my starting points. My comment addresses the last part of the parent comment: you should experiment and find what works best your yourself. Although I consider myself a paleo, I am not a purist.

My strategy is simple: in general I avoid food that a hunter-gatherer would not be able to find. I said "in general" because I eat cheese, some hams and preserved meats and sausages, and I also drink wine. After a short learning curve it be

Fair enough, but, like the article points out, personal experience, or case studies, doesn't count as scientific proof here. My own experience is that I can eat as much butter (real butter), bacon, olive oil, and other fats as I want and my

Of course. If it wasn't for wheat, potato, rice, and other grains and tubercles, most of humanity would starve. Simple carbs are cheap.

I don't think the difference in conversion efficiency between carbs and fat is relevant in a "normal" diet. The main difference is in how they are metabolized, and the effect they produce in the body. I can only recommend everybody to stop

That definitely worked for me. I adopted the paleo lifestyle more than 2 years ago. Although I was never obese, just overweight, now I weight about 20 pounds less than when I started. My blood lipid levels were also corrected. I used to eat

If you are part of a big enough group, and your ballot is not traceable to you, your vote is essentially anonymous even when the authority can determine for sure that you voted. I agree that voting may be flawed in cases. Electronic voting

Of course both anonymity and transparency are needed. The need for transparency is obvious in many scenarios. Anonymity is more contentious. Some people would love to avoid it completely. For example, I just came back from Spain and I saw a

Check this talk about obesity and nutrition. Perhaps calories are not all the same, depending on the source and how each different body metabolizes it. http://webcast.berkeley.edu/event_details.php?webcastid=2121... You can also research
