Study done by Harvard School of Public Health, no less! Great!

... and I'll say it again: The laws of thermodynamics do NOT apply, in the usual fashion, in carbon based life forms.

Here's a link for the same story, I think, but on CBS. Yahoo didn't work for me either. This link should.

"Dr. Samuel Klein of Washington University, the obesity organization's president, called the results "hard to believe" and said perhaps the people eating more calories also got more exercise or they were less apt to cheat because they were less hungry. "

Yup. Less hungry. Yay for ketosis!

"Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then on the way out, slam the door."

"Greene said she can only guess why the people getting the extra calories did so well. Maybe they burned up more calories digesting their food."

I was thinking, maybe it's not the calories alone, maybe it's the TYPE of food being consumed that promotes fat burn??? I mean, take 100 calories from spinach and 100 calories from bread, and only one has some fiber and minerals that aid in digestion. The other one has been bleached of minerals and fiber and may not even leave the body. I'm no scientist but...am I right?

And isn't true that the calories of green veggies are mostly burned while being chewed on?
A rumor I heard...
