This is incorrect, 1 calorie of carbohydrate isn't burnt the same a calorie of fat or protein nor does it give you the same energy profile.
If you have a diet high in carbohydrates your insulin levels will be spiking up and down like a yo-yo throughout the day.
Plus on the
Satiety Index fats and protein satisfy our hunger for longer.
Ignorance and misinformation has caused the obesity epidemic, due to these high carb diets a lot of people eat they are insulin resistant and leptin resistant which makes it very difficult for these people to lose weight because
1) They're eating the wrong food &
2) They are constantly hungry due to leptin resistance which is the hormone that regulates your appetite.
So in summary Bryan G is absolutely correct
