Are you equating a Zone diet, (40% carbs), with Atkins?

Just for your information, maintainance Atkins is hardly distinguishable
from Zone...

OK, it's apparently changed. I read the book back in 1970 or
thereabouts. So Atkins is 40% carb calories nowadays?
Not a low carb diet then. One wonders what all the fuss is.
Stick to the good old, tried and true, varied, wholefood, eucaloric
diet with regular exercise and you won't likely go wong, unless you
habitually wrestle with busses

See there is your main problem. You do not even know what a low-carb
diet is.

Well what is it? The scientists use something like 10% sometimes.

The mainstream recommends a 55 to 65% carb diet.

Do they? I've heard this is a high carbohydrate diet.
I've seen recommendations for 40% to 60% depending on physical
activity and total calorie requirement.

Anything
less than this is a low-carb diet.

What happend to "moderate carb diet"?
Do you just have high and low in your lexicon?

40% carbs is a low carb diet.

That's moderate from what I read. Geez it's nearly half, hardly low.
Maybe you mean "lower"?

Now
this is a major misconception on your part.

And many scientists, apparently.
See what they regard as low carb diet.
Certainly not 40%

Here you are arguing with
everybody and coming across as if you know more than everybody,

To you perhaps

showing nothing but arrogance,

Ditto

making your high-handed assertations

Those facts can be annoying, I know.

and you do not even understand what ow-carb is and why it is low-carb.

Well you tell us why eating two fifths of your calories as carbs is
low carb. What would 30%, or 20% or 10% carbs be called?

Maybe you ought to get to understand the parameters and the context of
the discussion before you open your mouth and make nonsensical
arguments that end up embarassing you yet again.

So once again, you claim that a hypercaloric diet can result in fat
storage loss, please show us the evidence that you base this weird
assertion on. And please don't regurgitate that silly study you did
recently, my sides are still sore
