I think the best way I managed to wrap my head around the refutation of that is this: First off, some foods make you hungrier so you consume more calories. People have a very strong tendency to eat when they're hungry. The might be able to put that aside for a short while (dieting) but its' very hard to combat in the long run

Secondly, it has to do with how the body stores fat. Eating fast carbs produces insulin which signals the body to store fat in larger amounts than low/slow carb.

It's a pity that the caloric model is so entrenced when really it's the least useful one.

Really, it's not rocket science,stop eating white foods, don't drink calories, eat quality meat and veggies,and your set.
