    I personally can count calories until the cows come home and not lose any wt with a higher carb diet vs. a lower (not no carb) carb diet focused on lean protein and veggies, 2 servings of fruit a day and 2 servings of low fat/cal yogurt a day. I have to log my calories to make sure I eat at least 1200 calories a day as to not slow my metabolism. (The 17 day diet) It is a really healthy way to eat and it works. I have several patients that have used it with great results as well as family and friends. It was not until I made some simple changes to my diet following this plan that I saw wt start to come off. It works for me every time, it just sticking to a lifestyle that is tough for me. I lose the same 15 pounds over and over.
    This is called FAILING, not working.
    I believe it is maintenance that is the problem, which is for many people. But thank you so much for your wisdom and thoughtful insight.

    As a rule, decreasing energy expenditure while increasing calorie intake does not yield optimal results.
