碳水循环能多减脂
真相
总热量相同时，只换碳水比例并不会多减脂（代谢病房里的随机对照试验）；高低碳日的真正作用，是让总热量更容易控住。
这话术为什么会流行
它把一个复杂的日程表卖成了“机制”: 高碳日、低碳日排得越精细, 越像掌握了什么别人不知道的开关 —— 而复杂本身就让人觉得它一定有用。

在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的代谢病房里做的几项短期试验，没有支持碳水-胰岛素模型的关键预测。

C., Walter, M., Walter, P. J., & Yannai, L. (2015). Calorie for calorie, dietary fat restriction results in more body fat loss than carbohydrate restriction in people with obesity. Cell Metabolism, 22(3), 427–436. 19 adults with obesity in a metabolic ward, each receiving both isocaloric diets for 6 days in random order after a 5-day baseline: cutting carbohydrate raised fat oxidation and lost 53 ± 6 g/day of body fat; cutting fat left fat oxidation unchanged but lost 89 ± 6 g/day (P = 0.002). Model simulations predicted the body minimises such differences over longer periods (abstract, PMID 26278052).

Effect of a plant-based, low-fat diet versus an animal-based, ketogenic diet on ad libitum energy intake. Nature Medicine, 27(2), 344–353. 20 adults randomised to ad libitum minimally processed plant-based low-fat (10.3% fat, 75.2% carbohydrate) or animal-based ketogenic (75.8% fat, 10.0% carbohydrate) diets for 2 weeks each, inpatient crossover: the low-fat diet led to 689 ± 73 kcal/day less intake over 2 weeks and 544 ± 68 less in the final week, contrary to the carbohydrate-insulin model's prediction; one participant withdrew with hypoglycaemia on the low-carbohydrate diet (abstract, PMID 33479499).

Ultra-processed diets cause excess calorie intake and weight gain: an inpatient randomized controlled trial of ad libitum food intake. Cell Metabolism, 30(1), 67-77.e3. 20 inpatients, 2 weeks per diet, crossover. Meal eating rate was greater on the ultra-processed diet by 17 +/- 1 kcal/min (7.4 +/- 0.9 g/min), p < 0.0001 - that is the between-diet difference; ratings of pleasantness and familiarity did not differ (full text, PMC7946062). Diets were matched for presented calories, energy density including beverages (1.024 vs 1.028 kcal/g), macronutrients, sugar, sodium and fiber (21.3 vs 20.7 g/1000 kcal, partly via fiber supplements added to ultra-processed meals); non-beverage energy density was 1.957 vs 1.057 kcal/g (~85% higher), which the authors say likely contributed. Intake was 508 +/- 106 kcal/day greater on the ultra-processed diet (full text, Table 1 and Results).
