If the insulin hypothesis of obesity were true, I wouldn't(along with millions of others) have success. If CICO were the truth any diet can work, depending on adherence. So which is more likely to be right? People have been finding success on every diet from Weight watchers, to keto. They all work by lowering your energy intake whether you count points, calories, or macros. These newcomers who have been indoctrinated by charlatans shouldn't be trusted. Dr. Berg, Dr. Fung, etc, are smart people preying on ignorance, plain and simple. The gold standard, metabolic chamber studies, have proven time and time again that fat loss comes down to ingesting less energy than you expend.
If anyone is interested, here is how they work. "fresh air is circulated into the room and as it flows out of the room, it goes through a series of analyzers that measures the ratio of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the room. Urine is also collected during a stay in the metabolic chamber to assess protein oxidation. All three measurements—oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide that is breathed out, along with nitrogen—are plugged into a calculation that can give scientists a detailed look at metabolism.
The number of calories a person burns throughout the day depends on their size and activity level. Someone who is smaller and sedentary may burn around 1,200-1,400 calories in a day. The average American burns 2,000 calories a day, although a taller person who weighs more and has more muscle may burn significantly more calories."

Several metabolic ward studies have shown that there is no difference in weight loss when protein intake was held constant:

I know many on here have seen all of this, but this it the time of year where we get many new members who are seeking help and/or have been misled by the followers of charlatans. If you don't care to see it again, scroll on. (after supporting this so more can see it. :D)

Hey, indoctrinated is a new one and it fits :D "teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically."

Dang charlatans. They're everywhere. -- proven time and time again that fat loss comes down to ingesting less energy than you expend. -- Definitely seems to be true from all of my food/exercise logging. Doesn't really matter what I eat, how much, my exercise always forces a deficit. That is the one variable that mirrors loss or gain. Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov (deficit), slow, but steady loss. Dec, xMas, my calendar shows no deficit, gain.
