[QUOTE="galaxy, post: 104019, member: 17916"] Vince study #1 was published in 2016 and #2 was published in February of this year. These were meant to be the gold standard studies designed and selected by some of the leading low carb proponents. The second study was a year long study and examine did a great job explaining it but it turns out that diet quality regardless of macro was the biggest determinate in weight loss. Now might there be some nitpicking at the margin yes, but these two studies designed by prominent LCHFers add to the litany of other studies that show its mainly about total calorie consumption and quality of diet. As stated earlier on I do believe that a high protein low carb diet can often lead to good outcomes because of compliance and flavor profile leading to easier reduction in calories. See the last link below as to why we are bad judges of our caloric intake normally. The last thing I'll leave you with is see the blue zones. They've researched the world's top centenarians and the bulk of them eat a moderate to high amount of carbs. Correlation is obviously not causation and those groups tend to lead very active lifestyles but still they provide a great counterpoint to the carbs are evil narrative. To be clear I believe a high protein nutrient dense diet comprised of whole real food with either high fat or high carb is fine for most people as long as they are in energy balance per the last NuSi study. If LCHF is easier for you to follow that's fine, but I think a lot of people are demonizing healthy carbs for no reason. I myself actually stick to 100-150 grams of carbs each day as it's easier and tastier for me to do so. For more on the role of insulin see the below podcast by Chris masterjohn. He gives a great account of how and why the body becomes insulin resistant. Essentially insulin resistance is a function of excess calories not carb consumption.
