Are Healthy Diets Calorie Restricted or Carb Restricted?

KEY POINT: The Lipophilia Hypothesis tells us that health authorities support the Caloric Balance Hypothesis only because they're unaware that the Lipophilia Hypothesis even exists.

In fact, another serious hypothesis competes with the Caloric Balance Hypothesis to explain what healthy diets should consist of.

Therefore, we must be led to believe one of two things:

1. The Caloric Balance Hypothesis is obviously correct. The Lipophilia Hypothesis and all other possible competing hypotheses have been completely discredited/refuted and thus there is no reason to even mention Lipophilia.
2. Everyone screwed up. In their rush to blame obesity on overeating and/or sedentary behavior, our public health authorities failed to even consider that there was a second way of looking at the energy balance equation. Furthermore, they failed to reassess their theory even in the face of evidence that clearly contradicted it, such as:

• Exercise over the long term doesn't lead to weight loss.
• The proposition that 'a calorie is a calorie' violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
• Explaining the obesity epidemic as a consequence of a toxic environment of fast food and video games tells us nothing about why certain people get fat in while others don't, why the poor are fatter than the rich, and why obesity so often coexists with malnutrition.

For Lipophilia to be true, our second explanation about healthy diets must be true. This is a radical idea. If defenders of the Lipophilia Hypothesis cannot prove that essentially 'everyone got it wrong,' then their theory is in trouble. Since this website is dedicated to building a case for Lipophilia, we will attempt to prove this point, as preposterous as it may at first sound.
