STUDIES MENTIONED:
Body Weight Regulation and the Effects of Diet Composition
- This analysis showed when calories and protein are equal; carbs produce a slight improvement in weight loss than fat.
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5568065/
Calorie for Calorie, Dietary Fat Restriction Results in More Body Fat Loss than Carbohydrate Restriction in People with Obesity
- the study was small in nature and short, but still well done

The Keto diet was not superior for fat loss in obese men.
The carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity – this shows the carbohydrate-insulin model was inconsistent with our observations and is flawed and NOT the end all be all!
