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

David Harmon :

For people who want to lose weight and boost their heart health,
cutting down on carbohydrates may work better than trimming dietary
fat, a new study suggests.


Is this a study on human psychology, human physiology, medicine or
physics?

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.

Psychological issues are important, of course. Feeling the cravings and
hunger for weeks on end, possibly for the rest of your life!, may be
more than most people can take. Also, it can be socially tricky to forgo
food or drinks because of your diet.

Physiological issues can come in, too. Some people crash or get
headaches unless they maintain a steady blood sugar level.

Medically, you want to be sure you get enough nutrients and don't lose
weight too fast.

Most importantly, don't trust your body. It will do its utmost to make
you fat. I have found it useful to count every calory and put a "price
tag" on different forms of exercise. Nintendo's Wii Fit keeps a record
of the weight every day.
