Actually, I agree with most of your comments, which you intended as sarcasm!

Carb restriction favorably influences the innate caloric regulatory system,
which is what is responsible for the typical failures at conscious efforts
at caloric restriction.


Could you please provide me with a clear, concise description of this
"innate caloric regulatory system" that you refer to?

How exactly does the body regulate fat storage based solely on caloric
intake and expenditure? Please, give us the precise bio-chemical
mechanisms that do this. How does the body know that it is low in
calories and how does it trigger fat-loss in this case. Conversely, how
exactly does the body detect an excess of calories and how exactly does
this specific factor trigger fat storage. Connect the dots for us.

Nobody knows exact mechanism. All you can depend on here is empirical data. And they strongly support idea that calories do count.


Your "innate caloric regulatory system" is a mythical beast that only
exists in the minds of the modern-day alchemists who pretend to be
scientists.

Hm, kind of funny when 4 low-carbers argue about this topic...

Anyway, I believe that it is you here coming with extraordinary claims, so it is again you to prove things (like Montygram, whose grandparents lived for 100 years without eating PUFA3).
