insulin: if it's really the key, and Taubes is right, i have wonder why BigPharma isn't all over this. seems like a great idea for a pill, no? exercise: there's no need to exercise "long and hard." it's simply a matter of being active. as another poster mentioned, folks find all kinds of ways to "exercise" - gardening, taking the dogs for a walk a few times a day, and generally not sitting on the couch in front of the television from 6:00-10:00 at night. will power: in the same post, you wrote that restricting carbs is not EASY. this implies that will power is part of the low carb diet equation too. calorie restriction: if a person is obese, that person needs to cut calories. again, you tie the term "undereating" to calorie restriction which is a complete red herring. eating an appropriate amount of food and practicing portion control is not undereating. If Taubes is working for people, great! But the notion that the only other way to get there is by grueling exercise, buddha-esque will power and undereating is ridiculous. It's not just a few lucky people with good genetics who get to live fit healthy lives and eat carbs. Eating for health and eating for weight loss are two entirely different things - most folks are interested in the latter and less concerned with the former for obvious reasons. it's frustrating, but i don't begrudge that. as long as the two aren't confused.
