Based on your statement, it seems that the normal levels of fat are too high (for weight loss) when coupled with normal/elevated levels of carbs. Seems then that higher levels of fat coupled with lower levels of carbs are better for losing weight (and by extension maintaining weight). Isn't that what the study shows? Why is it that you feel the study does not provide much useful information?

I was making it to you though, mainly as a retort to how cheap and fast hot pockets are. My tone was inflammatory, much more so than necessary, for that I apologize. I agree that cooking and eating healthy are time consuming, I disagree that the hot pocket is a viable (equivalent health-wise) option.

Fat is good for you, it is the bread that is the problem. You didn't catch the part about the 6 egg omelets? Guess what, egg yolks are loaded with fat, which is energy, which is good for you. Not sure why people still have a fat aversion, there is more than ample evidence that the problem is the carbs (now including this new study) that anyone with even a modicum of analytic ability should know that carbs are bad and fat is good.

stop it with the whole grains. Whole grains are still just grains. Maybe with a tiny bit of nutrients and some fiber that the refined don't have but still produce a tremendous glycemic load. The point of the study is that whole grains should be avoided. All carbs should be avoided. Don't attempt to conflate grains with meat and vegetables, they don't belong in the same class of food, that is what the study under discussion meant to separate.

I do it. The hard part isn't the "heavy type foods" to be honest. The hard part is not being able to eat flour quesadillas, for me. On rare occasion I'll crave some kind of bread with butter and jam but then the craving passes. Oily, fatty foods taste good, they are good for you and so eating them is not a burden. I've also started exercising because I want to increase my muscle mass and develop a six-pack.

Breakfast is usually eggs raw or cooked with vegetables and 4 tablespoons of coconut oil.
Lunch is meat with olive or coconut oil, spices, salt, etc, and vegetables.
Dinner is usually the same as lunch.
Note that the above means I eat almost anything as long as it is not a grain. All of the meat is grass-fed, or pastured and the vegetables and oils are organic, virgin.

It is also a bit hard to always turn down certain offers for free food (pizza, beer, sandwiches, etc) but that is more a social problem as I mostly don't desire them.

These guys are all trained to need carbs, I wonder when they will catch on to the idea of eating fat instead of carbs, chances are their performance would increase tremendously and probably be easier on their metabolism. To go ketogenic (the goal), they would have to cut out virtually all carbs.
