Gary Taubes writes a book. Somebody who doesn't agree says "It's way more complex than just carbs" Stephan Guyenet wirtes a blog. Somebody who doesn't agree says. "It's way more complex than just calories in vs calories out"
Both "critics" are factually correct in saying it's more complex than just one thing. But neither of those two writers claim that it's just one thing. I'll check out Stephan Guyenet, and I liked the tasteless liquid post, but I don't see how that's in any way counter to Gary Taubes. When I read Taubes book, it made me want to eat less pizza, and cut out soda entirely. Now I snack on nuts instead of Doritos. I don't think Guyenet would tell me I made a bad decision. There's a lot more common ground than people make it out to be. Both would say "eat less garbage". The thing that Taubes critics seem to consistently miss is Taubes entire argument is based not on carbs, but on genetics. Everything about the diet you need to find for yourself is you developing a workaround for the genetic hand you were dealt. Some people eat lots of carbs and stay skinny, because their genetic hand allows it. Good for them. You should only expect to get the same results as that person if you copy their diet and their genetics. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
