ROUND UP RXNS: Dr. Kevin Hall & the Metabolic Chamber of Secrets
UPDATED Jul 11, 2016 - includes 2 more responses AND response from Kevin Hall (re: diet sequence) The paper is out! The NUSI study long awaited as the poster-session-heard-round-the-world has been published and the reactions are swift. Check out the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. If you don't remember, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff and Dr. Kevin Hall discussed Hall's poster at the International Congress of Obesity (it's a longish video, click here for a transcript)

Is the Insulin Theory of Obesity Over?
Kevin Hall, PhD, says his most recent metabolic ward study combined with the paper his team released over the summer falsifies the insulin-carbohydrate theory of obesity. The insulin theory of obesity, in short, posits that higher carbohydrate diets increase insulin secretion, which then drives fat storage and essentially “starves” muscles and organs of energy. This causes increased hunger and overeating. The reason a low-carb diet works, according to the theory, is that th
