    Comments: Here is an excerpt from a patient handout I give to patients on the first visit before they see the physician: Myths 1) MYTH: Calories in, Calories out is the secret to weight loss Timing of calories matters: in one study, for the first 6 months, patients ate 300calories at breakfast and 750 cal at lunch, and 750cal at dinner and they gained 15lbs on average. For the next 6 months, they at 750cal for breakfast, 750cal at lunch, and 300cal at dinner ... and they lost 20 lbs on average. That's the same number of calories, but 15-20lbs difference if you eat a big breakfast or a big dinner. Types of food matter for some people. In one study, patients were given either a low-calorie diet or a glycemic index diet. At the end of the study, patients who were diagnosed with insulin-resistance actually lost more weight by eating more calories that were low-glycemic foods. Medicines can make you gain weight. You could eat the same food every day and exercise the same every day, but if your doctor started you on prednisone or insulin, you would likely gain weight. Many patients on anti-depressants gain weight even if they don't change what they eat. 2) MYTH: It's all your fault: you just need more willpower to push away from the table! When you eat, more than 22 hormones are released. Many of them stimulate the appetite. When you have a monthly menstrual cycle, there are only 3 hormones involved ... yet no doctor would tell you to “push away from the tampon” if your cycle wasn't normal. Certain foods stimulate the appetite making you want to eat more. Certain medicines make you want to eat more. In the past, physicians used “periactin” to stimulate patient's appetites when they wouldn't eat. Periactin and diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Tylenol PM) are close cousins.

    Comments: I agree with Gary's criticism of the article by Tara Parker Pope. Unfortunately, modern medicine does not know the best way to treat obesity. Decreasing the intake of sugar/carbohydrates is one of the best ways to decrease insulin but there are other ways that our body is stimulated to have high blood sugar besides directly eating it. High sugar is also stimulated through less sleep and more stress. When we treat each person completely to decrease insulin, weight stays off longer. Unfortunately, if we stop treatment, weight does come back.

    Comments: Excellent rebuttal. I have been preaching low carb diets to lower insulin levels to my patients for years. One patients decrease foods that stimulate insulin production thus lowering their inuslin levels (which I measure) they are more successful at losing weight.

    Comments: The ineluctable consequence of any protracted volitional restriction of calorie intake is a pervasive increased efficiency of non-oxidative disposal of glucose into adipose triacylglycerol via multiple mechanisms (e.g. the phenomenon of "catch-up fat"). Macronutrient substitution of carbohydrate for high BCAA containing protein foodstuffs has been shown to ameliorate these variables when implemented before or after a successful fat loss intervention.

    Comments: Because the recent large increase in obesity rates has occurred over such a short time period (i.e., 2-3 generations), it cannot be explained by a change in inherited risk (e.g., genetic drift or natural selection increasing the frequency of adverse alleles for obesity-associated genes). Environmental factors are clearly implicated, and changes in diet would seem to provide the most likely explanation for the obesity epidemic in Western countries.
