Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity
“the metabolic effects of carbohydrate [to increase insulin] cause the adipocyte to take in, store, and trap too many
hunger increases”
“Any diet that succeeds does so because the dieter restricts fattening carbohydrates…Those who lose fat on a diet do so because of what they are not eating – the fattening carbohydrates” Gary Taubes, Why we get fat and what to do about it (2011).

Recently, a study in Cell Metabolism by Kevin Hall from the National Institutes of Health attracted a lot of buzz in the news and online…[but] there were some real problems with the study
actually, with 29 percent of calories coming from carbs, including refined
less than 10 percent of calories from carbs.
(only six days) conducted on only nineteen people who were contained in a metabolic ward where all the food was provided…It showed what happened in a vacuum but not in real life.

In the case of nutritionism, the widely shared but unexamined assumption is that the key to understanding food is indeed the nutrient. Put another way: Foods are essentially the sum of their nutrient parts.
