Jonathan Bailor Fact Check
Jonathan Bailor has earned himself a high dishonor of his own blog post linking to the bad science in his books. He earned this because he has perpetuated past 2010 the flawed alpha glycerol phosphate aka glycerol 3 phosphate aka G3P part of Gary Taubes' fairy tales on obesity.
Apparently he missed this show on iTunes The Body Rx Show - Episode 6 Good Calories Bad Calories. Here is a direct link to the episode. The important part vis a vis G3P is here:
This was in SSoS and it is in The Calorie Myth. ( I'm going to address that in another post, hat tip to Critical MAS). Oh ... and it WAS in the textbooks several years prior to GCBC.

I personally believe ∞% he'll spin negative results massively and/or move the goal posts
Does he realize that people following a low fat diet or whatever approach in "real life" could ALSO have enough intrinsic motivation to succeed long term? I mean, it's not as if there weren't enough good examples. On the other hand the blubbery human fat yo-yo Jimmy Moore is the posterchild of the intrinsic motivation of low carbers??? So hilarious.

but IMHO all these are nipping around the edges- when even proponents like the Eades threw in the towel and admitted metabolic advantage may be so small as to be unmeasurable in real life, the important thing about nusi will be the psychological fallout.
