I have just read this thread through from the beginning. We have come so far in our understanding of how we can use the body's endocrine and balancing systems to lose weight more efficiently on a higher calorie, high fat diet, than on a low calorie, high carb one.

A page or two back, someone tried to use the "calories in/calories out" claim (from back in 2006, I think?) and used the example of 10000 cal of fat. The interesting thing, that I think most of us have seen, is that if we eat ENOUGH calories of fat, we are incapable of eating too much, because we are just not hungry.

In GCBC, Gary Taubes quotes a researcher who was working with volunteers in a weight gain experiment. Those eating 10K cals in a high carb diet stayed hungry. Those eating a low carb, high fat diet wouldn't gain; they simply couldn't eat enough fat and protein to gain weight.
