Thank you for introducing me to Gary Taubes. I love the way he expresses himself.

But now that you point it out, I can see how he could come off as really irritating. He seemed noticeably awkward on the Dr. Oz show. Scientists aren't known for their people skills...

I can't pay much attention to it because even though insulin is an issue, I think he's full of s*** about exercise. But mostly his smug expression and manner of speaking grates on me so badly that I can't watch him. Just watched this for first time.

From what you wrote of your experience, it illustrates the point Taubes was making with calorie restriction. You said you limited cheese and sugars and ate mostly sprouted grains and proteins. Does that mean you limited fats? According to Taubes, you will lose weight on this type of plan, especially with a lot of exercise, but it is <i>unsustainable</i>. Eventually, your appetite will force you to consume more calories because you have not effectively dealt with the insulin issue. (And according to Taubes, insulin regulates appetite).<br /><br />The way I see it, restricting calories and trying to burn them off through exercise is a firehose approach to weight loss. Why not try limiting one thing (sugar) and increasing your fat intake? I recommend a book called <i>Eat Fat, Lose Fat</i> by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. It's an upcoming selection for our Cellulite Book-of-the-Month research group. Maybe you could scout it out ahead of time and let us know what you think?<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

So, I'm sitting here drinking coffee spiked with ice cream and chocolate chips (because I ran out of milk, so those made a great alternate creamer…) while watching these video clips.

And, in reality, I'm only procrastinating, because I am supposed to be doing research on another topic toward my Masters in Psychology.
Being that my brain is kinda wrapped up in the Psychology realm right now, I started wondering some things while watching this (and drinking my oh-so-unhealthy-by-ALL-Standards coffee):

I love how he pointed out that he is a science journalist. She seemed to think that anyone who is not a personal trainer is not entitled to speak about the science of weight loss! I agree with you about the book, too. I think it's one of those books that will have a lot of historical significance in the decades ahead. Thanks for your comment! I know, Bonnie!
