The group of people you're referencing (Inuit people btw, Eskimo is a slur) have some of the highest obesity rates in the world! The Nunavuts have an obesity rate of 48%!

The ethiopians have a diet of mostly carbohydrates (>70%), and are extremely lean.

Taubes is a bullshit artist who cherry picks data to sell books.

You're saying that eating excess calories in the form of fat won't be stored as fat? That's the most efficient pathway and was critical to our survival.

What you're referring to (excess carbohydrates converted to fat) is denovo lipogenesis which is exceedingly inefficient and rare in humans.

The first law of thermodynamics takes issue with this. A calorie is a unit of measure for energy.

I never said they didn't. I said that a diet, when controlled for calorie levels, will yield identical fat gain/loss.

Well the person I responded to is claiming equicaloric diets lead to different levels of fat gain.

Are you saying that a diet from higher carbs will produce more fat gain than an equicaloric low carb diet?

What is the cutoff for elite athletes vs non-elites? A 5 minute mile? 6 minute mile? Why would there be a discontinuous jump between what a lay person should do versus a profesionally athlete? Sure, volume and intensity would be scaled back but type of exercise wouldn't be all that different.

See https://bodyrecomposition.com/training/endurance-training-me... for an example. The German track cycling team does 90+% of their training at low intensities. For an event lasting 4 minutes. The simple fact is that at the highest level, all pure endurance athletes do mostly aerobic work.

Effective for what? Body composition? Fitness? If the latter, please explain why all elite endurance athletes do the overwhelming majority (>95%) of their training at low intensities. If the former, well, elite endurance athletes sure aren't fat.

Eating low carb and switching to high carb will cause significant water weight increase due to increased muscle glycogen. On the order of 5-10lbs. It's not fat.

That's a fair point. It's all qualitative right now.

Roughly the past year or two.

This isn't meant to be snarky, but why would we need a cross-platform UI toolkit for a (by definition) Linux only installer?

Does the vaccine prevent transmission?

Has the vaccine been shown to prevent transmission?

Indiana has had a mask mandate since May. Our compliance has been great >95%, yet our cases are skyrocketing.

Nice source you have there.

I dislike your use of the word "literally" immediately preceding something that did not, in fact, literally happen.

How many kids have long term effects?

Because I am selfish and, by and large, don't care about others. Selfish? Yes. Just being honest.

You are part of the problem. Stop while you're behind.
