Gale, with all due respect, the above statement is misinformation. CICO is the only qualifying factor to weight loss, because if you don't eat less than you burn you will not lose weight. Any other factors have to do with personal preferences or medical conditions that need to be addressed.GaleHawkins wrote: »

i had issues before the babies but the babies made it worse since dieting when pregnant is not an option and working out was hard on my body ( i had severe pelvic pain)
can i just add, since dropping the carb level to 90 increasing fat to 53 and protein to 90 i feel great today, not bloated, better food choices, more water and managed to do my 30 day shred without almost crying!!
If that was factual then overeating would lead to weight gain.
The wild card is there are not three people on the site per my guess that even know how many calories they need to be eating to lose or gain weight but just work of a best guess of some software developer working off of some data that may or may not be valid. If we can get more science into how to eat for best health it would be helpful I expect.
We know many eating 1200 calories daily are doing harm to their health because they are clueless as to how the number was computed or why. CICO is a factor but not the only factor.
Overeating does lead to weight gain. It's fact.0 -

Well, considering I try to eat a primarily whole foods, very low-carb diet, these flax/oat bran things are a very infrequent deviation from that and they're full of junk, IMO.
lol...

I *try* to eat whole foods. I try not to eat more than 20g of net carbs a day. And I try not to eat foods that have ingredients that are fillers or sugars or faux sugars. I'm a bit hypocritical, though, because I do like DaVinci sugar-free vanilla syrup in my soda water. (And, yes, I know soda water is processed!) And I will eat these junky tortillas.
Sue me.

Habitual, repeated overeating does lead to weight gain.
