show me where i said that adipose fat storage doesnt require carbs and thus insulin production

this is the foundation of the zero carb diet

propensity of fat storage is a direct result of your gene pool, that is the basis for somatotype theory, but in every somatotype insulin is the fat storage factor

maybe you should read the rest of his thread, Bear never said you have to "keep eating fat" to lose fat, he also never said "calories dont count"... you have to eat less fat/protein calories than you burn or simply fast

im going to make this extra clear
IF YOU EAT AS MUCH FAT AS YOU NEED YOU WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT
your offering no incentive to your body to give up its highly valued energy reserves if your eating sufficient amounts of calories

Bear made this very clear

edit:: i just watched Gary Taubes' 1h:11m, and honeslty it was a waste of time because i learned absolutely NOTHING that i didnt already know and write right here

"carbs invoke a starvation response from the body and facilitate the process of fat storage"

there you go i just saved over an hour of time for everyone else since every person even remotely familiar with Atkins knows this
