#4Summary:
Diets that replaced carbs with fat burned an average of 250 calories a day more, in a study whose methodology wasn’t described or skeptically analyzed whatsoever. Author then goes on to repeat “not all calories are identical” repeatedly.

#6I've always found this aspect of the low carb debate to be mostly irrelevant. The benefit I get from eating a low carb diet isn't that I burn more calories (as in, i'm not expressing an opinion either way on that). It's that I have a desire to eat dramatically fewer calories on a low-carb diet, and the weight loss effects come from that, not higher metabolism. I don't understand why so many studies want to focus on metabolic rate, when it seems clear to me that the most material benefit is the blunted calorie-adjusted hunger.

The methodology seems to be described in the linked research paper, which should be the article linked, not this lame summary: https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k4583

#9Carbohydrates are also the cheapest calories.
I was actually just lamenting how difficult it is to get a "real" (no lettuce) salad this evening.
Making them at home isn't /really/ an option for me, not unless I want to eat it literally every day. The greens would go bad in about half a week; the other semi-perishable things would need to go shortly after.
It's so much easier to go out and get something fresh and variety from a common kitchen (restaurant) that services many others all day.
However, because carbs are cheap, and because meat is popular, those are the two things every restaurant has a focus and spin on.
Eating healthy is too expensive.

Why don’t “real” salads include lettuce?
