If my calories go up, so be it. Cause im not regulating those.

Obviously meaning i dont care where my calorie count is as long as i keep my carbs in limit. You see this handy app also keeps track of other things like vitamins, carbs, sodium, ect.. but as i log my food the info is visible. So saying i track calories is like saying i track my vitamin C. No but i sure can go back and…

And how many times are you going to quote that same first passage, when i immediately corrected my statement by saying that i dont INTENTIONALLY restrict calories, as a low calorie dieter would.

Ok... thats me saying i can increase my calorie and still lose weight (which i have) not " defy physics, and eat in a calorie surplus" Soooo... wrong again.

Yeah if you can find where i said that you can quote me. Unfortunately, what i ACTUALLY said was i struggled to lose weight on a low calorie diet alone (NOT that i didnt. I said i lost 2-3lbs). And that low carb has improved my results substantially. I also stated that my calories are indeed still low... not bc i bother to…

This thread has turned into the great "black&blue/white&gold" debate.

Not everyone's body responds the same way to different approaches to losing weight. The key is to find a match for your body and metabolism. Dr Atkins, a well-known cardiologist, limited his patient's intake of sugar and carbohydrates. As a result, many of his patients successfully lost weight and kept it off – even though…

@lcooper327‌ your right they arent the same exclusively, but they are connected.. lower fat=lower calories. Just like lower carb=lower calories. The point is they both restricted calories but the low carb group experienced better weight loss and health benefits. Therefore, valid.

Otherwise i would never know.. lol

Ummmm yeah.. this app kinda does it automatically sooooooo..

@Marianne802‌ i use canned tuna often to hit my protein goals. Also boiling eggs, or grilling chicken ahead enough for several days

I cant even with you right now. Im sorry you are unhappy i disagree with you. Its simply this... I DID do a low calorie diet only on and off for many years. With very little weight loss. I did low carb (which incidently kept me at the same low level of calories) and lost up to 7lbs a week. So you are telling me, in all the…

Your right. On page one i was referring to the fact i dont regulate my diet based on calories. I regulate it based on carbohydrates

Im quoting myself here bc some of you have seemed to miss it. I KNOW MY CALORIES ARE IN A DEFICIT ON MY LOW CARB DIET!!!! WHAT YOU ARENT GRASPING IS I FOLLOWED A LOW CALORIE DIET WITHOUT RESTRICTING CARBS FOR MANY MONTHS AND ACHIEVED MINIMAL RESULTS. All i ever stated was that low carb has helped ME lose weight FASTER!

Um no. Nowhere in my statement does it say keto is superior. No where. Hahaha. You have such an active imagination. And yes i said dont restrict calories. Never denied i did. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is.. i dont purposefully restrict calories as a diet regime. I restrict carbs.. which results in lower calories…

Ok 1) i never said low carb was superior. Feel free to back check. I simply said it worked better for me. 2) ANY diet intended for weight loss will require deficit calorie intake. The DIFFERENCE is i tried a low CALORIE diet without regulating carbs and lost abt 2-3 lbs over a month. This included working out. On a low…

@LunaKate‌ my calories usually stay between 1000-1300 a day... i think for the weight loss stage this is completely acceptable.. once you reach or near your goal obviously it should go up with your carbs until you plateau at your desired weight. Decide to start building more muscle.. adjust accordingly. You dont want to…

Sweetheart you're hilarious, and its been fun. But you can do rounds with yourself, bc thats all your doing is talking in circles. You have your OPINION on the matter.. and i have my results on the matter. In the end its about what works best for the individual. Hope your fitness journey is a great one.

Its totally necessary for a healthy lifestyle though. @ndj1979‌

Thank you @AlabasterVerve‌

Im still not seeing what isnt coming across for you when i say.. A) i tried a restricted calorie diet -with healthy veggie lean meat whole grain choices- and lost barely anything. B) i restricted carbs and UPPED my calories and lost 20lbs... Pretty self explanatory. I never said weight loss COULDNT be achieved on low…

However, a new study shows that to lose weight more efficiently, cutting carbs is a better strategy. The new study, presented at the American Cancer Research Society meeting on December 8, found that a low carb diet, even just two days a week, was more effective than a low calorie diet to lose weight and lower insulin.…

So glad for your progress @Tiabean86‌ ! I definitely feel more energized on a low carb diet. Keep up the good work!

Loe carb isnt just meat and cheese. Your friend obviously went the same route as mine.. thinking ANYTHING low carb was a good choice. Untrue. I consume veggies, dairy, and lean meats mostly. Eggs, and only drink water. As i said.. i know my results. I tried for three years after my first child to lose weight on restricted…

Not at all.. i just know my results. And there are multiple studies, diets, and doctors who agree low carb diets can be more effective than low calorie diets. I could maintain my carb count and increase my calorie count.. and continue to lose weight at the level i have been. If you do some research you will find that the…

Im so glad low calorie dieting works for you dear. @ndj1979‌
