Default Low carb diets

Bottom line - yes, you are right, calories in vs. calories out is what
it boils down to.

Yes, the lack of carbs in the system allows the person a more stable
blood sugar level, thus leading to a more stable sense of hunger.
When you aren't "hungry" you don't eat. Hence, you eat less.

As for the low carb products, just like anything else, it just goes to
say you should always *Read the Labels*... Just like w/ the low fat
products out there that substitute sugar for fat, it doesn't mean just
because it says "Low.." something on the label that its good to eat.


So far at least the low carb bread and tortillas I've seen are quite good
to eat. They're loaded with extra fiber and sometimes way less calories
than the traditional products.
