I guess me losing weight eating 200g of carbs most of the time was just a fluke?????2

You could eat nothing but nutella all day and you'd still lose fat just fine.
Fat is nothing but stored energy. If you've paid attention in physics class at school you've heard the sentence "Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one state to another."
If you don't put enough energy into your body to be transferred to the work energy to keep your heart beating and your limbs moving, you can not stay at the same weight.
It is absolutely literally impossible.5 -

'Nother fluke checking in. 42.5 lbs down and counting *eats another danish pastry*3 -
My head hurts. So much misinformation. A calorie is a unit of energy. It is so wondrously simple. I've lost 40lb eating mostly carbs BTW.7

No, of course I've never logged my calories
Then you have no way of knowing what you are claiming. Period, end of story...

He's right, unless you mean you are being sarcastic. Nicely played.0 -
Btw, well done everyone eating carbs and loosing weight. No need to be so highly strung about how people choose to loose weight.
I eat carbs, I feel crap. I limit intake of carbs to fresh veg and very, very little fruit and all is well with the world.
BTW, have a look at this...

As someone who always asks questions, looking for different ideas. I want to ask this. I'm not criticising, or bashing or trying to undermine. It's just a thought that popped in my head. What if those of us that have studied nutrition and diet at university level have been taught wrong?
One last thing, low carb high fat is working for me. Why does that irritate so much?0 -

It's because you are claiming you eat at a surplus and lose weight when that is physically impossible4

I can only speak for myself.
It is not your success that bothers me. I am quite happy you found something that works for you. That said, it is obvious to me that you don't fully understand why it worked.
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe you claimed to achieve your weight loss in a caloric surplus, and that it was because you reduced your carbs that you succeeded.
How something worked is not the same as why something worked. Low carb was the tool you used, it worked because you were in an energy deficit, regardless of what you think. And to state otherwise is, IMO, very irresponsible.10 -

So, are you saying for instance, a 100 calories of spinach will behave the same as 100 calories of banana?0 -

Calories are units of energy so yes. As far as the nutrients, of course they both offer different things.
This is why I take an inclusive approach to nutrition. I look at what I can add to my diet rather then what I can eliminate. I find it very difficult to over eat "junk" food when I am focusing on my protein, fat and fiber goals.
That said, once my needs are met and calories are still available to me, I see no harm including "junk" foods into an over all healthy diet.6 -

There's a cat 100 metres from me to my left, and a dog 100 metres from me to my right. The cat isn't a dog, and the dog isn't a cat, but they are still both 100 metres away from me.
I think I need to lie down with a gin-soaked rag now.16 -

Has it ever crossed your mind to find out what a calorie actually is?
Are foods or macros different? Of course.
Are calories different? No.5 -

You can't just compare two macros. A diet is composed of various macros, micros and foods. One is not better than the other and you have to always look at the good picture. Even with bad foods, you can still have an overall solid diet (especially in maintenance or bulking where its much easier to get nutrients). So trying to ask if this is better than that is kind of ridiculous. Carbs, fats and proteins all serve their purpose and should be looked at contextually.3 -

This is exactly my perception. I never care how people achieve their goals, but when they misrepresent science, they should get called out for it.2
