Well... until I see at least a SINGLE peer reviewed study showing that sugar, insulin, diet coke or whatever causes weight gain, as opposed to the widely accepted, scientifically sensible and proven "calories out < calories in = weight gain" then I will have to keep thinking you all are basically either trying to sell something, victims of terror management which if fair, and I really feel sad for you, or mixing in your personal dream of "sticking it to the man" with actual scientific studies.

IT IS SIMPLE

calories in calories out = weight gain

insulin can't make the body store energy as fat, if there IS NO SURPLUS energy...

I mean.. for people swinging around stuff like "experts" and "google is your friend" etc. you should at least freggin have read some basic stuff on clinical nutrition, basic micro anatomy etc. it is all pretty basic and simple and it'll save you from making a complete ass of yourself.

now say it with me:

insulin can only make the body story energy that is actually there as fat, not non-existant energy.

tastebuds doesn't control hormone release, at least not this hormone, ingestion does.

nature doesn't INTEND stuff, nature doesn't give a fuck

your body can't SCREAM for carbs, and even if it could, you could just ignore it.

ffs... go read books instead of watching televangelists and piss poor new age "healers"
