Lane, I think your synopsis of the Taubes/Blackburn "conflict" is absolutely spot on. You summarized it superbly. Kudos. The only difference between those two is that Blackburn wants us to count calories and stop feeding when we reach our measured limit and Taubes says we will naturally stop eating at our limit if we eat food that satisfies our hunger. Some people are predisposed to line up sides and fight. Others are predisposed to be attentive to the various arguments and understand similarities and differences. It doesn't have to be win-lose. Blackburn's scheme requires will power, fighting against one's body. Taubes's scheme is easier because the body isn't pulling so hard against you. Pragmatically, if the objective is losing weight, then the choice is between limiting one's calories, that is, not overeating, the hard way or the easy way.

This is 100% correct. Science has proven Blackburn correct study after study. People always under estimate the amount of calories they eat. Study after study proves this to be true. "Too many calories: If you are eating more calories each day, (or at least on a consistent basis) than you are using, you are not going to lose weight. People will almost always under estimate the amount of calories that they are eating each day. The food industry today is geared towards convincing us to consume as much as possible. This is a good business plan for them, but a bad lifestyle for us. The more that we consume, the more that they profit." fitnessoverhaul.com Lane3 shooting from her emotional side can not handle the truth. Lane this is the emis, live with it! The problem is people’s inability to know how many calories they burn and eat,’’ said Dr. George Blackburn Then you go caveman lol Blackburn is the idiot. He's an idiot because he doesn't pay attention. He infers conflict where there is none due, most likely, to bias. And/or he has some agenda where conflict benefits him.
