At least that is what I read, but I do not read that well.

You are right. But you missed the main point which is that all the junk
food is carb heavy junk foods, and the "expert" ignores the carb heavy
junk food and is ok with 150 lbs of potatoes, but heaven forbid a
little fat on the potatoes.

A little fat is fine, but when one is consuming too many calories, one
would surely look to the most concentrated source of that energy to
cut down first. Many of those snackfoods mentioned (they could all
well be cut) contain more fat calories than carb calories. and then

actually no.

there is a good case to cut excess fat from the potatoes when too many
calories are being consumed. Mashed potato mashed with a little fat
free milk is a fine and satisfying low calorie food containing many
valuable micronutrients. Obviously, if still too many calories for the

actually no. low fat potatoes will give a greater blood glucose spike
and you will eat way more with less satiation. And boiled skinless
potatoes simply become a relatively nutrient deficient pile of high GI
starch. Did you not read what I already wrote about the proper to
prepare potatoes? Obviously not. Your just here to make noise. Troll.

body's needs are being consumed, this could be reduced as well, but
only after the empty calories are cut from the diet. jack

Here are some simple question regarding your almighty calories:

Why does countig calories fail in more than 95% of cases?

How is it possible for low-carbers to maintain their weight or lose
weight on 300 or more calories per day than low fat dieters, as was
shown in at least one study a couple of years ago?

Exactly how does the body monitor its caloric status? How does it
detect a caloric deficit or a caloric excess? What physiological
mechanism detects the caloric status? And when the body detects a
calric imbalance, how specifically does it trigger cells to store or
release fat? What are the biological processes and cascades involved
from the detection of the caloric balance to the final storage or
release of fat? Hormones? Enzymes? Processes? Is it done by osmosis or
alchemy?

I've read a number of bio-chemistry textbooks, and I've yet to see the
exact mechanism of the caloric balance theory explained in detail.

But I have read the chapters on the endocrine system and what a high
carb diet does to the blood glucose levels and what that does to the
insulin and glucagon leveles and how those hormones trigger fat storage
and fat breakdown. And those chapters say nothing about calories.

The caloric balance theory of obesity is a failed and outdated
black-box relic of the mid 1800's being propped up by advanced degree
pinheads on the food industry payroll. We've come a long way since the
days of the flame calorimeter of the 1850's.
