This was my issue. Even with a calorie deficit I could not lose weight. But..I produce way too much insulin.. Your gifs are my favorites. There are other ways to drop fat.

Probably because I thought the poster meant carbs/glucose = fuel and fat/ketones = fuel..rather than jumping to the assumption that said person was insinuating that one can't burn fat while eating carbs. Considering it was in response to a "carbs are fuel" comment and not an I burn fat while eating carbs comment.

I wasn't commenting on whether or not everyone uses fat calories for fuel. I was responding to your claim that anyone said people can't burn fat and eat carbs.. Because you said "I wonder what all this weight I dropped was then. I know it wasn't muscle because I'm pretty good on that end...Hmmm...must have been some kind…

This made my day

Uh..where did anyone say you wouldn't burn fat while eating carbs!? Cause..all I saw from what you quoted was someone saying you also have a choice to get your energy from fat rather than carbs. As in..the fat a person who low carbs is eating is used as fuel instead. Therefore, carbs aren't necessarily everyones main fuel.…

Low Carb high protein? Quest bar, meat What about fat?

I can over-eat pretty much any food.. So, my lack of self control would be my issue.

*raises hand* I knew what you meant! ;)

Agreed.

Lowering carbs won't make you lose any faster than any other method. As long as you're eating at a deficit you will lose. Unless you have a medical condition..then things can get trickier.

~18g of net carbs. I lose weight because of a calorie deficit..not because of lack of carbs.

Good or bad? Depends on your body and how well they round out your overall diet. Personally, they (white potatoes) are not so good for me. However, I produce too much insulin.

Stuff like this makes me feel you're posting with the assumption that the majority of us are morons..and you're some all knowing entity sent to inform the masses. It rubs me the wrong way.

Wow. Just wow. :D

Ditto.

I find intricate beading exciting. :) What kind of breakfast sandwich? I cooked two chicken breasts and extra broccoli cheddar soup that I will be having for lunch today and tomorrow.

All fluids count

So coffee beans change the chemical properties of H2O???

Kegels :) Leg raises..hold each up as long as you can. I also enjoyed sitting 'indian style' and using the arm rest to lift myself up.

Yes. Powerade zero can count towards your water. ..tis also good for hangovers. ;)

For most, low carb and high protein isn't ideal. I need low carb high fat

I understand there are a lot of people making that assumption..but it still comes down to the fact that they're new and/or ignorant. Someone who educates themselves on the subject would never claim they can magically eat all the food..or increase calories and still lose at the same rate. And when I say educate..I mean…

The only low carbers, I've seen, who claim that are ignorant and probably (hopefully) new to low carbing. Meaning, they're mostly fad dieters. Someone just starting out and seeing results, like the water weight loss that usually occurs at the start of a low carb diet, might be excited and think this is the time it will…

I think it all depends on how well each individual body deals with sugar. I produce too much insulin, so sugar (carbs) really makes me feel like crap. People who don't necessarily have a diagnosed medical condition can also have a similar problem. Some people can legitimately feel better without it. Not everyone is the…

Low Carb high fat is how I eat..for medical reasons. I eat at a deficit for weight-loss and exercise for strength, endurance, and more calories.

You can, and should, give yourself 300-500 for breastfeeding. I just logged it under snacks as a negative calorie thing. You can also log it as exercise.

One person ruins it for everyone.

Haha haha. Everyone should science. It would make the world a better place.

I don't eat much sugar..because I can't. What are your protein and fat macros looking like? I find upping those help to cut down on carb cravings. If you really think sugar is the devil..dont eat it. artificial sweeteners have not been proven to cause cancer. Have you considered Stevia? Cant tell if troll thread or serious.

This. I came in looking for something else.
