Default Low-Carb Beats Low-Fat for Weight Loss, Study Says

Lewis :

Marko Rauhamaa was all, like:
I have gained lots of weight and lost lots of weight, and you only
need one principle to explain the process: energy in -- energy out.


Not true. Your body can only use dietary fat for immediate energy
needs, it cannot store it. If you eat only fat, you will 1) lose a lot
of weight very fast and 2) die.


Still, the equation holds. If you expend more energy than you take in,
you will lose weight. People who are desperately complaining that they
can't seem to lose weight aren't methodical about their calories. Not
blaming them, it can be tough, only stating the thermodynamical truth.

(There are conditions where fluids build up in the body. I'm not
considering that "weight" in the sense of this thread.)
