Sure thing Pete,

Check chapter 5 in the latest Atkins (2002) "Understanding the importance of Insulin" or chapter 3 of Protein Power "Excess Insulin and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome".

Chapter 6 of Atkins "Lipolysis" as well. I like the new edition of Atkins, simply due to one thing, each and every claim has a note referring to studeis proving that specific point, with the page numbers in the studies.

Not to say the rest of the chapters aren't important, but those are the "guts" of the scientific basis.

My own simplistic analogy for why the calorie theory isn't valid, is that it only considers thermodynamic factors of food (energy) and totally ignores biochemical factors in food metabolism.

Wa'il
