    I think a calorie is a calorie. What differs is how our bodies react to those calories. Isn't there supposed to be a set point for our weights, something that's hard to change? (but doable with determination!)

    When I first started eating like a pig and got lazy with the exercise, I only gained about 15 lbs during the first year. I thought I was invincible! Eating 3-4000+ calories a day, taking days off every week with the exercise and still only reaching a size 4. My body must've been struggling to keep me near my set point weight. Wish I had realized that back then before I got used to such a poor lifestyle and the weight started to really pile on. I suspect this guy would start gaining more weight if he did his experiment longer.

    MrM27, you asked...

    Now Feltham has repeated his experiment with exactly the same amount of calories, but from carbohydrate-rich junk food. On the same amount of calories he gained more than five times as much weight: almost 16 lbs (7.1 kg)!

    As folks have said before: everyone here is a champ at losing weight. A few will keep it off. Time will tell if these folks will keep it off.
    Do what YOU think is best.

    Especially when a carbo phobe is touting that carbs are evil. Of course many carb eaters who are fit and lean trump the evil part.

    A depressingly true observation.
