To me points 6, 7 & 8 all point back to that same thought - low carb isn't a magic panacea that allows for over consuming vast amounts of calories...

First I agree with your observation about the magic panacea.
That still leaves the question of why we're driven to overeat calories in the first place? For me, peanuts cause binges, peanut butter doesn't. Heavy cream stalls me in coffee, but if I whip the stuff, I'm fine. Making cheese more calorie-dense by buttering it cuts down consumption--and probably leaves me eating less calories. I think something about dairy stimulates appetite. Calories really don't matter if you don't actually eat them.  |
