    Comments: I had to relearn the physiology of and effect insulin has on fat metabolism. When I started to apply these concepts to the care of my patients they not only started losing weight but have had a dramatic overall improvement in their health. This is an idea whose time has come...back!

    Comments: It is well past time for the medical and journalistic communities to rally behind Taubes' thesis. Enough! As long as the preposterous, easily refuted "calories-in-calories-out" mentality persists, millions are doomed to suffer and die. Is there a more critical issue facing medicine today? No. There is not.

    Comments: Excellent! All my patients who understand insulin and its role in obesity are successfully losing weight. They understand what to eat to prevent those insulin spikes and they are burning fat and dropping pounds. I recommend the "Paleo" diet to everyone. I myself have lost nearly 100 lbs eating this way. I am a type II diabetic and I used to be on 4 diabetes medications and a cholesterol lowering medication. 10 years after my diagnosis I am off all medications and my last a1c was 5.3.

    Comments: We have known since Benedict (1917) through Keys (1945), Stunkard & Hume (1959) to Franz (2007) that eat less/do more does not achieve sustained weight loss. Quite the opposite - as Parker-Pope has discovered - it tends to lead to weight gain over time. The definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Stop the madness!

    Comments: If Ms. Parker-Pope is correct, I must be some sort of freak! I struggled with my weight for many years. However, when I started restricting carbohydrates in my diet, especially those derived from grains, I lost weight quickly and kept it off for 6 years. In addition, I lowered my triglycerides, improved my cholesterol ratio, boosted my energy, increased my immune function and stopped having painful kidney stone attacks that I had experienced every 2 years from age 25 to 42. I agree that people who are overweight should not be disparaged for their metabolic condition, particularly when they are encouraged by the USDA to eat precisely those foods that will cause them to gain weight. However, to suggest that people have no control over their weight or wellness is irresponsible. I feel so empowered since I discovered that I CAN influence my health by eating what my body needs - virtually the opposite to what is recommended by the USDA: high fat, low carbohydrate, plenty of salt.

    Comments: My family has been living a low-carb lifestyle for 11 months now. We all easily lost weight, after years of limited success trying to lose weight through limiting fat and calories, and vigorous exercise. Our cholesterol numbers have dramatically improved. For the first time, the weight we lost has stayed off. We never have to go hungry to keep our weight in control. "Fat is bad for you" is a lie. "Calories in-calories out" is a lie. Eat fat, eat vegetables, cut out all sugar and sweeteners, cut out all grains, walk your dog for exercise, and watch your body respond by returning back to its ideal weight and health. Reading "Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It" by Gary Taubes has had a profound affect on our lives, all of it good. Thank you, Gary.
