Could be BOTH! Keep at it, buddy!

The solution for me seems to have eliminated the refined foods and the sugar. I eat mostly nuts, veggies, apples and fish. I think the important FOR ME is to cut the stuff that limits the insulin response. I still have 10 pounds to lose. It still seems to me like an almost-impossible goal. Since I started this new way of eating, I lost 10 pounds in 6 days. Most of it came out as urine. Am I fat or is there too much water in my body?

People differ genetically, so don't dismiss these out of hand. I guess you definitely would not argue that a redhead also "has the genes that make the skin black and the hair black". It's been known for years that indeed people react very differently to an infusion of carbohydrates: some almost don't notice it while others demonstrably pour vast amounts of insulin out into their bloodstream. That's why - as I'm sure Taubes would agree - not all humans are affected negatively by our modern diet.

Y'no what I think? I think that these genes are in everyone, a reminant from the "caveman" era. Where our early ancestors HAD to gorge on foods to stay alive. Meals didn't come every day, and storing the fat for later use is an amazing life saving mechinism. However, in the 21ST Century, we do not have to hunt down our food. We no longer have to chase a mammoth at 6:00am without breakfast. We can go to the fridge, or a fastfood chain. But thoes genes are still there. They didn't just dissappear!

Thank you for posting this though - I'm reading the Diet Delusion right now and it's basically blowing my mind about how much we've been lied to by prominent health organisations and government organisations. Taubes to me, deserves all the awards we can give him for his meticulous research and for writing these books.

Tabues's Not Taubes' There is only one Taubes there.

Every medical school in the world should have this book as part of the course material.

Whether you realize it or not, Dr. Weil has lost a considerable amount of weight since this appearance on Larry King last year--and he did it on a LOW-CARB diet! :)

Oh, you mean the Dean Ornish who was the only guest on that Charlie Rose show who had a laptop computer in front of him? The last time I checked, Gary Taubes never needed any notes to articulate precisely what he wanted and he did an excellent job of communicating his points. |
