Yeah, some of these peoples, I can't even say which is worse, the getting people not to vaccinate, or implying Autism is worse than any of the diseases prevented by vaccines.PeachyCarol wrote: »My "favorite" Nutritionist even has a PhD, from her 3,000 word "dissertation". https://www.facebook.com/NutritarianNancy
I stopped reading her page when she posted a link that vaccines cause Autism. smh. I couldn't take any more.
Then you missed out on the line about fruits and vegetables being nature's vaccines or something like that.
I'm glad I missed it.
I work with the developmental disability population (mainly Autism) so when I see bunk like that I have a tendency to rage a little.
I rage a lot at that stuff. My four-year-old boy is on the spectrum.

This is not a new discussion. If you're looking for people with similar experiences, you'll find them there.
If you're looking for people who don't share you're experience, this is where you'll find them.
Most healthy people don't have insulin resistance issues.
So only one type of weight loss experience story is valid? If you lost weight eating pizza you're a god on earth. If you did it eating lower carb you're somehow some sort of weirdo who should only post in specific places?

What I don't understand is why it always has to turn in to a fight. I don't low-carb but if someone else wants to...that's up to them.
I have a tendency to overeat carbs at the detriment of protein and fat so I try to moderate them. I aim for 100-125 grams of carbs. This as much as anything has helped me meet my goals.
I'm typing this from my phone with the voice software, so there's going to be a few grammatical errors here.
I think there are a few factors that I see happening typically on the main forms.
I hate to use labels but for purposes of explanation I will use pro low-carb and anti-low-carb.
Someone comes on the forums and ask a question about carbs or talks about going low-carb. Which first of all as an ambiguous term that does not have a well-defined number.
Then without any context at all, an anti-low-carber will show up and say "Why would you do low-carb, it's all about calories you shouldn't do low-carb"
Then, the pro low-carbers show up and start saying things about low-carb dieting that are just not true.
Then a bunch of arguing happens that gets further and further away from actually helping the original poster.
Two big issues as I see it: carbs and sugar are sort of a whipping boy of the diet industry currently. So unfortunately there are many people who believe that carbs are inherently fattening due to the diet industry and largely due to Taubes (who imo is wrong).
So then people are quick to bash the idea of low-carb dieting when the reality is it can be very effective for some people in some situations largely for satiety and adherence purposes.
I do think it's important to dispel some of the rumors about carbs being fattening so that people don't go on with the misunderstanding which could lead them to an overly restrictive diet.
But often times because people neglect that context, they end up not helping the op and a fight ensues.
This is certainly compounded by the fact that we are on a calorie counting website. And while calories are fundamentally responsible for changes in weight (yes, CICO is correct), that doesn't mean that every dieting method must involve tracking calories contrary to the group think that goes on in the forms.
Calories are responsible for driving changes in weight. Calories in also influences calories out. Energy deficits are mandatory for causing fat loss.
It's up to the individual to find a sustainable method for adhering to that energy deficit. Low carb dieting is one method that may work for some people but it's primarily the hunger blunting properties and the reduction or removal of an entire macronutrient that facilitate the energy imbalance, and thats not the mechanism proposed by some of the LCers.
The forum fighting happens because of poor context and misinformation from both sides of the carb fence.
Finally, I'm not referring to "all" people despite the language above.
Solid post, agree with everything you said. At the end of the day weight loss does come down to those pesky calories/following an appropriate calorie deficit. But there's different ways to approach that, and if eating lower carbs helps someone then I say good for them, for finding what works for them. Heck, I did alternate day intermittent fasting, which is way wackier than low carbing
I do think the frustration is that there are a few people who advocate low carbing as the 'only' way to make progress though. Same with some of the 'clean' eaters, some 'paleo' followers etc etc. And these people are typically the most vocal, which then raises the hackles of others and around and around we go
I agree with all of this as well. I also believe there are a few, typically vocal, posters who believe that IIFYM/CICO is the only way to go, and reply to every request for advice on something specific regarding HOW to do low carb with a "WHY are you doing it" type response, getting the hackles of others up, and around and around we go.
I don't know how this community will ever get past it.
Are you still doing IF?
CICO is the only way to lose weight; no matter what kind of "diet" one follows… high carb, low carb, high protein, moderate protein, low fat, high fat, Mediterranean, Paleo, Keto, blah blah blah.
I didn't disagree with any of that.
IIFYM is too, technically. Since low carb is also IIFYM. My point: there are many ways to do this. Low carb is a VALID way as well. It should be respected along side traditional calorie counting, and IIFYM "flexible" dieting.
I'm out, gotta work.
I am curious as to how IIFYM = low carb....?
Set calories at 1950 and macros at 125 g protein, 25 g carbs, 150 g fat. Then fit your macros.
Not appealing to me (I don't think I could eat 150 g fat if I tried and I'd miss my carbs), but perfectly valid approach.
It might get confused by the net carb thing somehow--I'm sure there's nuance to it that one would figure out.
I would only dispute that by saying you are not restricting carbs to below a set number in IIFYM, which would seem to be the main difference..
unless, of course, I am looking at it incorrectly.
well ...
fat and proteins are minimums in IIFYM and then you fill the rest in with carbs and/or as you see fit.
the main difference in my mind is that with low carb you are restricting them to a set minimum that you should not exceed; where as, with IIFYM there is no maximum, unless of course you go over your calories...
It sounds like you're saying that there is some framework for what macros are allowed to fit, which is never the impression I got. But, again, I could have been misunderstanding it all this time.
Your understanding is correct. The application generally, for adherence is adapted for most people to set fats a.d protein as minimums - but that's an adaptation of what IIFYM is. IIFYM came from the bb'ing world and generally they have a target for all macros. For the casual dieter it's just not necessary/preferable to be that rigid.
That's where I fall into it. I'm not nearly advanced (or concerned) enough to be as rigid as a competitive bodybuilder. So I just shoot for my protein and fat goals (and admit that I don't always hit them).
My macro goals definitely don't fall into the low carb category though. I may have a day where that happens but if I hit my goals right I'll get 142g of carbs. If I blow out my protein or fat goals (more likely fat) then I may have a sub-100g carb day...0 -

Read the post. It says go to the low carb group to find people who agree with you. Here you'll find people that don't. That's a pretty clear "hey, don't post here unless you have only this experience." The pizza was just an example. All I'm saying is the forum category is "General Diet and Weight Loss." That applies to all methods. Someone who had weight loss surgery, did Atkins, did IIFYM, didn't diet but lost weight doing more cardio, etc etc etc.
Or perhaps she just means what she actually typed. Weird concept, I know.
That a lot of people who do low-carb tend to hang out in that group instead of on the main boards, so it would be a better overall resource than the main boards for someone looking for that program.0 -

So when people say 'you are losing body fat because you are in a calorie-deficit', they are confusing cause and effect. I would phrase it as 'you are in a calorie-deficit because your metabolism is burning body fat'. Reducing the carbs is causing your metabolism to burn body fat and as a result you are less hungry and have more energy (which results in the calorie-deficit).
Good luck.
No sir, I think it is you who is confused.
Your body is always burning fat. All the time. Day in, and day out. I am leaving aside anaerobic efforts here. When your body is in calorie deficit, it breaks down fat from your fat stores. And when you are in surplus, it stores fat in your fat stores. Your body is constantly burning a mixture of fat and glycogen.
Reducing calories and therefore creating a deficit causes you to burn more fat for energy.
I eat hundreds of grams of carbs a day, and I have lost 4 pounds this month...unintentionally, but still. Lots of cars, and sugar. I am not eating very clean. I am creating large deficits through exercise, and am having issues eating enough.
(As an aside, a sugar and a low carb troll in the same day!)
I would say that when your body is in a state of increased lipid synthesis and esterification of fatty acids, it stores fat in your fat stores. When it is in a state of increased lipolysis it breaks down fat from your fat stores. Although these can be quite complex, insulin is a major factor and for many overweight people, reducing insulin via low-carb eating is effective. And the result (not the cause) of this is that they move into a calorie-deficit.
Without looking at your profile, something tells me that you are not 100+ pounds overweight. If you were and were losing 4 pounds a month by eating lots of carbs and sugar and exercising a lot I would find your example more compelling.
You seem to be saying that for people suffering from obesity they simply need to exercise more and eat less and they would be able to eat tons of carbs and sugar like you. This doesn't seem like good advice.
I am currently 303lbs, down from 366lbs in January. Macros are set to 35/35/30 - so my carbs are around 136grams per day. To be honest, I don't really track my macros, just stay under my calories each day. There is always hot chocolate and ice cream on the menu. I'm losing on average around 3lbs per week.
Not knocking low-carb, if that is the vehicle that will get someone to where they need to be, then full power to them. I love my carbs way too much to reduce them beyond where they currently are. But we each need to find what works for us in order to have CI<CO to lose weight.
As for overall health, that really is an individual thing too. My Grandfather always had to watch his carbs being T1 diabetic, my Grandmother never has, and probably eats around 50% carbs - she's doing just fine at 90 years of age.0 -

I had been struggling with no weight loss for months, despite hitting it hard at the gym and tracking on MFP..until I cut out bread and most grain-based foods. I don't feel hungry ever, even though I usually eat a lower calorie intake than before and I am losing weight despite eating a higher percentage of fat. Most of my carbs now come from vegetables and berries. I feel less bloaty too...anyone else out there with similar stories? Oh, and I have lost 5# since starting this 3 weeks ago.
Hey OP -- I read page one then skipped all the other pages.
I have had the same experience as you. At first I cut out all grains because I was always getting horrible indigestion and bloating. So I thought I was sensitive to one or more of them and my doctor suggested cutting everything out, eating like that for a week or two, and then adding them back in one by one. But I immediately felt SO MUCH better than I didn't want to add any back. lol
The bloating was gone, the indigestion was gone. Totally gone. I felt like a new person.
Now I've added back in oatmeal, quinoa (which I guess isn't really a grain), and have discovered Ezekiel bread. And apparently Trader Joe's has their own version of Ezekiel but less expensive so I'm going to check that out.
Anyway, I'm never going back to eating all that bread, pasta, cakes, cookies, etc. I might have one piece of toast with my egg in the morning. Maybe some granola in my yogurt. Etc. And I feel great.

Despite what you may think, that is not correct. Holding calories and protein constant, fat loss isn't significantly different between low carb or higher carb diets, at least in ward trials, save for kekwick and one of the rabst studies and one other that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Where on earth did you come up with the logic for the 3rd paragraph?
Who said to hold calories constant? I'm saying that for many people who restrict carbs, they will burn more body fat which will result in a calorie deficit. For many people who are sensitive to carbs, eating a lot of carbs will cause them to store body fat, which will result in either more eating or decreased energy expenditure (calorie surplus).
How can you look at the efficacy if you do not hold calories constant?
Edited to try to fix messed up quotes.
You can compare weight loss with the deficit measured, you don't have to fix the deficit and fixing intake doesn't fix it in any case.
kg/week lost per kcal/day deficit would be one such statistic, or kcal/day deficit to produce 1 kg/week or whatever of loss.

Indeed, but it's a viable approach and works better than energy restriction alone, as does intermittent calorie reduction. Obese men showed double the improvement in 4 weeks.
Too bad your link doesn't support your assertion, which of course isn't surprising.
Of course have no interest in reading it, but for the enlightened Table 5 clearly shows double the reduction in HOMA-IR assessment of insulin resistance in the low carb arm.
The moderate carb arm achieved a N.S reduction of 0.52, the low carb arm a reduction of 1,22 P<0.001
Of course I probably should say there was no improvement in insulin resistance in the MC case, making the LC diet infinitely better in this regard. P for diet was <0.05 for HOMA-IR, insulin and glucose.

Except I did read your link, and it doesn't support your claim. Your claim, "indeed, but it's (low carb) a viable approach and works better than energy restriction alone" seeing as the study didn't control for calories, you cannot claim the low carb aspect was the reason that group showed greater improvement, and it wasn't the greater energy restriction.

Well I can't see an energy difference from baseline of 4.65 MJ having no effect on IR and one of 5.35 MJ having the significant effect of a 45% reduction. Ditto no reduction in glucose and insulin at the lower deficit high carbohydrate case.
The reduced carbohydrate logically reduces glucose and insulin levels which contribute to insulin resistance. Would anyone propose that adding 20g of fat to the low carb diet would have eliminated these effects ? Mechanism ?
In any case this was a crossover study where the same people were given two different diets and one achieved a reduction in insulin resistance and the other did not. Whether the subjects ate a bit less on one or the other is an outcome as much as any other, so I stand by my statement that the low carb diet was much better than medium carb at reducing insulin resistance in this study. The latter failed.
Diet A - low carb - reduced insulin resistance, lower energy intake, less hunger.
Diet B - no reduction in insulin resistance.
In the Author's peer reviewed words "Conclusion: In the short term, high-protein, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets reduce hunger and lower food intake significantly more than do high-protein, medium-carbohydrate nonketogenic diets."0 -

This isn't terribly hard to understand, you are drawing conclusions that are not supported by the data. Just because you don't see the difference in energy restriction as having a significant effect, it doesn't mean that it didn't, you can't tell from the study you posted.
The authors conclusion also does not support you claim.0
