I've seen threads on other forums where zero-carber upped their fat intake, and failed to lose weight... but I don't think they ate past appetite. We need more guinea pigs.

The point is that calories don't matter. If there's something wrong with fat tissue, it's still going to be wrong even if we cut out all carbs and only eat the best food we can eat. It doesn't have to be wrong from the start, it can become wrong gradually, like it does for most people who grow fat and sick. But people's fat tissue don't grow defective because of calories. Fat tissue grows defective because of hormones and drugs. Cutting carbs merely removes one agent. Eating real food fixes another problem. There might be need for more therapies to return to a semblance of normal. Some take D3, others take T3, while still others take more extensive measures.
Do you think that growing fatter is merely the stuffing of fat in fat cells, and that growing leaner is merely the release of this fat? There's more to obesity than just excess fat accumulation. Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation. It's a disorder. It's not just (Ein - Eout). What else does this disorder represent besides obesity? There's heart disease, diabetes and cancer, to name a few. How can we expect to fix those problems just by cutting carbs? So why do we expect it with obesity? If the problem's already there, cutting carbs is just the beginning. But if the problem hasn't yet started, cutting carbs might prevent it from ever occurring in the first place.
