I'm confused

While exercise and muscle tone may burn some calories, shouldn't evolution
have provided for an increase in the calorie consumption thermostat in
response to regular exercise?

My body requires X amount of calories (per lean body weight) to carry on
daily functions. If I add exercise, this creates a calorie deficiency.
As long as the calorie deficiency isn't so severe that it shocks my
body, the end result should be a loss of weight over time.

If this is true, what of the theory that if my exercise burns 100
calories, 10% being from fat, and I replace the 90% with carbohydrates
there is no calorie deficiency yet I still lose weight.

There are just too many different diet and exercise plans. It's all very
confusing.

The human body is complex and confusing.

Let's look at it this way.

Excess carbs are stored in the body as fat, for future fuel. If you eat
fewer carbs than your body requires, you will lose weight.

The energy provided by carbs, or fat and protein, translate into calories.

If you go on a low-carb diet, a lot of things will happen with your body.
You will lose interest in high-carb foods and likely lose interest in foods
that supply your body with a lot of calories and a lot of food.

Go where you want to go. Those of us on the low-carb way of living know
what it will do for us.
