Yes, it's worth reading. I think it illustrates the different meanings people seem to be ascribing to CICO. What he describes as 'Current Dogma' equates to what many of the LCHF posters on here describe as CICO. When he later says that what you eat can affect both calories out (e.g. activity)...

Apologies, I'm not sure how that part-comment appeared in the post - it wasn't supposed to be posted and wasn't addressed to you. To briefly answer your question, though, there is no suggestion that calories can be inhaled. However, the proportion of calories that actually make it from the...

Again, I think part of the problem is that people here using the term CICO to mean the low-calorie approach to weight-loss. They are using 'calories in' to mean the calories on the plate wher Very interesting - have you got any links to studies which show this?

I suspect that some of the disagreement on this thread arises because non-scientists and scientists are using CICO to mean different things. To understand CICO, scientists will consider a person under controlled conditions, e.g. locked in a room with controlled calorie intake and with all...

Dietdoctor.com warn against following a strict low-carb diet when breastfeeding due to the risk of ketoacidosis. They recommend eating at least 50g carbohydrate per day to avoid this. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/when-breastfeeding

This is correct. Even at rest, adipose tissue (the tissue which stores fat) requires energy to maintain it (around 4.5 Calories per kilogram of body weight per day), albeit not as much as other tissues such as muscle (about 13 Calories per kilogram of body weight per day)...

All GPs provide 'out of hours' services. You can phone your GP' s normal number - you should get a message informing you of how to access services for out of hours. The way it is covered varies from GP to GP - it can be based at a local A+E, minor injuries unit or a walk-in centre. If you can't...

The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) says:- To increase muscle mass in combination with physical activity, it is recommended that a person that lifts weights regularly or is training for a running or cycling event eat a range of 1.2-1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per...

That's an impressive drop in systolic blood pressure for people changing their diet from 'typical American diet' to one compatible with 'Dietary Guidelines for Americans'. Sounds very worthwhile.

'Insufficient evidence' is not the same as 'no significant effect'. It means that there may be a significant effect but we haven't done enough good quality measurements to say whether there is or there isn't. Para 15:90 is talking about risk of type 2 diabetes whereas the text on p71 is talking...

I would argue that whether there is relationship between saturated fat and the risk of developing type 2 is the least important finding for most people on this forum as they have already been diagnosed. What would be more relevant would be a) factors affecting HbA1c etc. (as listed by @Sapien)...

...although many human studies are preceded by rat studies. Yes, you can't assume that what happens in a rat also happens in a human, but rat studies can guide you where to look and what to look for. Quite an interesting article:- https://theconversation.com/animals-in-research-rats-16634

As BB is mostly carnivore, I suspect he was commenting that they're not chicken or beef rather than they're not gluten free.

Only if you think that understanding physiology is pointless.

Here is an article about 'ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes' where there is an acute reduction in insulin secretion accompanied by insulin resistance:- https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f3501 Edited to add: More information here:- https://gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=x20160928141517439169
