Name that study?
I'm aware of a metabolic ward study that help protein constant and varied fat/carb ratios from like 15%-85% and showed no effect of macro composition on weight loss (or was it maintenance). Does anyone know what study I'm talking about?
Thanks in advance!

Also not a diet trial but I am sure you will find a way to make it one and conclude that Taubes is an idiot. Good luck.

Energy intake required to maintain body weight is not affected by wide variation in diet composition.
Me?? I never win ANYTHING! ;~)
Glad I could help.
I was not a happy camper after reading that study a month or so ago. It was from 19-freakin'-77. Taubes doesn't get to just write that off as far as I'm concerned.
After looking at countless references and the general body of research for myself, I literally cannot take anything Taubes says seriously anymore. The research HAS been done (Rosenbaum, Ravussin, Hill, Leibel, Martinez, Marques-Lopes, Jéquier, Horton, etc etc etc) on the different carb ratios. DNL does not occur unless the subjects were eating thousands of carb calories over maintenance for days on end, and even then it's to such a small degree that it can NOT account of such large increases in weight individually and nationally (IMO). The scenarios researchers have to concoct to get DNL to occur is just NOT reflective of the real world dietary situation (me thinks, though I could be wrong and people really could be eating no fat all carb diets a thousand kcals over their maintenance...). With the mixed food diets that people actually eat, it was always the FAT being stored as fat and the carbs went to glycogen and got used for energy over the 24 hour period.
I was/am SO frustrated that I took so long to get around to reading these studies for myself (Was focused on exercise/training research for the last 3 years - which mind you peri-workout research ONLY makes sense in light of the work of the researchers I listed already and NOT with what Taubes claims).
