[QUOTE="galaxy, post: 103971, member: 17916"] For those that weren't aware Peter Attia and Gary Taubes teamed up to form NuSi I believe back in 2012 to study their hypothesis that insulin/carbs play a major role in obesity. They conducted two well controlled studies that pretty much refuted the hypothesis. This is a pretty big deal as Peter and Gary are two well known low carb advocates who helped design these studies. See below for links describing the research. Of course there are other health markers that may be affected that weren't studied, but I think that the evidence is starting to show that eating whole real nutrient dense foods irrespective of macro differences is fine (as long as you get the requisite protein requirements). What I think the main difference that everyone is seeing is that it is sometimes easier and more enjoyable to eat a LCHF diet than a balanced or HCLF diet given the flavor profile of fat. That being said it's my understanding at the moment that most people would do best in the long run eating 50-150 grams of carbs/day given the potential thyroid impacts and brain glucose requirements. Paul Jaminet and his wife wrote a book perfect health diet (stupid name i know) that went into a good amount of detail as to why a base amount of carbs (150g/day) is necessary. They actually went low carb and ran into some health issues in the long run. Study #1 Summary from Stephan Guyenet PHD [URL]https://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2016/07/nusi-funded-study-serves-up_6.html[/URL] A new metabolic ward study tests the idea that lowering insulin via severe carbohydrate restriction increases metabolic rate and accelerates fat loss, independently of calorie intake. Although carbohydrate restriction did modestly increase metabolic rate, it actually slowed fat loss. One of the details that sets this study apart from previous studies is that it was funded by the Nutrition Science Initiative, an organization that was founded specifically to test the insulin hypothesis of obesity and related concepts. Study #2 Summary from Examine and Stephan Guyenet PHD [URL]https://examine.com/nutrition/low-fat-vs-low-carb-for-weight-loss/[/URL] A year-long randomized clinical trial has found that a low-fat diet and a low-carb diet produced similar weight loss and improvements in metabolic health markers. Furthermore, insulin production and tested genes had no impact on predicting weight loss success or failure. Thus, you should choose your diet based on personal preferences, health goals, and sustainability. [URL]http://www.stephanguyenet.com/the-second-nusi-funded-diet-trial-has-arrived/[/URL] Both diets caused similar weight and fat loss at 12 months (-5.3 kg [-12 lb] for LF vs. -6.0 kg [-13 lb] for LC).
