(Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I missed it.)
I've just read an online article about how Dr Jason Fung has misinterpreted some studies and come to the incorrect conclusion that Calorie Restriction is an inadequate diet and almost bound to fail long-term:
"So where did Dr. Fung go wrong in his calculations?
Well, Dr. Fung probably failed to consider that reductions in metabolic rate should account for weight loss or gain, since a smaller body will burn fewer calories and a larger body will burn more."
Brilliant logic! Probably! They are saying that the fatter you get, the more calories you burn!
But wouldn't you not put weight on in the first place if that were the case? When did fat cells start burning, erm, fat cells?
I would agree that more muscle mass burns more calories for a given activity, but that isn't what they said...
Can anyone see a hole in my logic?
