The energy balance theory is an inconsistent paradigm

A reanalysis of the highly important metabolic ward feeding data of Hall and colleagues: a brief report

“…As recently pointed by Arencibia-Albite, the EBT-based fat loss equation (1) ignores the fact that fat loss can also occur from the excretion of fatty acid derivatives [9]. However, there is no reason to dwell on the matter in this brief report, so I refer the reader to reference [9].…”

“…A growing body of evidence indicate that the widely accepted EBT ("Calories In, Calories Out) is a flawed paradigm. Instead, it is becoming increasingly clear that body mass is regulated according to the "Mass In, Mass Out" principle [2,3,4,5,6,9]. A very comprehensive and detailed review can be found in source [9], while a relatively easy-to-read and practical review can be found in [5].…”

Indeed, the results of this well-controlled feeding experiment by Hall et A2.…”

Chronic Positive Mass Balance is the Actual Etiology of Obesity: A Living Review

“…Not a single gram of body mass is added through energy intake. Calories represent the heat release upon food oxidation, and as such, calories have no impact on body mass [1,5]. The term "calorie" comes from Latin calor (heat).…”

“…[1,3,4,5]. When the energy fraction from dietary fat increases, while energy intake is clamped (i.e., fixed), mass intake decreases due to the significantly higher energy density of fat compared with other energy substrates.…”
