I see no reason this discussion has to be either EBM or CIM. I think the data supports EBM must be true and that the CIM helps explain the metabolic dysregulation

Energy Balance Model vs. Carbohydrate-Insulin Model — what really drives obesity? A global panel of experts recently gathered to debate the root causes of weight gain and obesity. In speaking with my longtime mentor ~donlayman, it is probably both - addressing obesity requires not only managing caloric intake but also considering the specific metabolic impacts of different foods.

I think many of us have known this for quite some time.

I mean I know personally what happens when I eat a high carb diet: I completely lose control and can't stop eating, because I'm constantly hungry.

But eating a low carb diet means I'm not desperately hungry every waking moment, and in fact I'm hungry a lot less often than people around me on a "normal" diet.

This combined with the recent startling revelation (sarcasm intended) that it's possible to get a nutritious, balanced diet on low carb, maybe The Powers That Be will finally acknowledge that LC is a perfectly sustainable way of eating.
