Part of the interview.
Hobbs: Are carbohydrates important in weight control?
Flatt: Yes. Carbohydrates determine the amount of fat that is burned. The more carbohydrates you eat, the less fat you burn. The less carbohydrates you eat, the more fat you burn.
Hobbs: How much fat is burned on a low-carbohydrate diet?
Flatt: A person can burn 150 to 250 grams of fat per day if carbohydrate intake is restricted to 50 grams or less. That is roughly one-third to one-half a pound of fat per day.

once again, they're extrapolating from healthy young men who are obesity-resistant, into the entire population. i don't believe that they've proven anything new at all. :-( we KNOW that carbohydrate-tolerant young people will modify their movement and thermogenesis to burn whatever they must in order to maintain homeostasis.
on a related topic, have you guys watched Chris Masterjohn's AHS-12 presentation yet? see if you are as impressed with it as i was....
warm respects,

Hi Tess
Thanks for the info. It will be going up as new thread on here tonight.
Kind Regards Eddie
I agree with Jeff here fascinating is a good word.
"The more carbohydrates you eat, the less fat you burn."
Cut down on those carbohydrates they are not needed.
Good advice I think.

Found this very interesting, thanks. Definitely think it is far better to cut down on the carbs as they are not the most nutritious foods, and as for sugar I don't think any of us need sugar.
