By increasing activity level (calories burned) one can lose weight on low carb diets without reducing their caloric intake. In fact you can even increase your caloric intake and lose weight if you burn enough calories. Nice word games, Roger. Lyle |

What about those that eat the same calories but change the ratio of P/C/F and/or the timing and feeding frequency (breaking up the cals into 6 meals instead of 3)?!!! Or eat the Carbs + Protein in first 3 meals and fats + protein inlast threee meals. etc. What about 'em? relevant in terms of hunger/caloric control. And nutrient partitioning/metabolism. I am sure you are aware of the insulin- and leption- regulated metabolism of foods Very. so, when calories are strictly controlled (and things like adequate protein and EFA's are given), how come differences don't show up in studies? seriously, just about any variation you can care to name has been tested. OK - I believe you and will not pursue/read about it further. It is just that the theory was/is so nice. Any differences in terms of actual weight or fat loss amounts to noise (the only major differences occur in studies comparing inadequate to adequate protein intakes). I am surprised! As I said, the studies I read (and posted some) leads one to believe the theoretcial model of nutrient partitioning would lead to less BF and more (or mainatained) LBM. Lyle |

Low carb diets
Lyle McDonald wrote: I had a client years ago who was drinking, on average, 3-4 large regular sodas per day. I told him to switch out to diet. It saved him easily 500 calories/day (and he lost weight of course) and was hardly tough to maintain. If someone is eating a large amount of highly refined or high energy density foods (think most of what's available in any US supermarket), reducing food intake by 500 cal/day may be trivial by simply making qualitative substitutions. They don't even have to be very extreme if the diet is horrible to begin with. The case you describe is typical. You're finally coming out of the closet. Obviously, the stricter someone's diet is to begin with, the harder it will be to remove 500 calories from the diet. I'd be willing to bet this person probably does not have a weight problem. (adherence to exercise routines is just as bad as for diets). I'll bite, why? -- Doug Freese "Caveat Lector" |

tcomeau wrote: Doug Freese wrote in message ... Note that any restriction of calories below what a person needs is some form of starvation, just to a lesser degree. I like your theory. If I follow your logic if I wash my privates I'm masturbating. No, you are just consuming less than your body needs to function. You are taking less nutrition than you need. Excuse me, if I'm overweight I typically consume too many calories. You are, in effect, trying to keep your body in a mild state of starvation to force it to use up stored fat. My point is that this DOES NOT WORK. If it did work, anyone who chooses to lose weight would simply eat less and voila, weight loss. You must be trolling with a big **** eating grin. If you serious...never mind.... It is virtually impossible to lose weight on a diet that is high in GI-load carbs unless one ups ones activity levels to a huge and abnormal degree. I don't know about huge but alas you're finally pulling your head out of the dark region. I've never suffered from bad breath on the Zone diet. If you can survive in 1,200 calories you will be thin as angle hair pasta. -- Doug Freese "Caveat Lector" |

jmk wrote: "The weight lost while on low-carb diets, such as the popular Atkins Diet, results mostly from eating fewer calories and sticking with the diet as long as possible, not in limiting carbohydrates per se, say researchers from Stanford and Yale Universities. Of course. That's been said here for years. "The researchers analyzed 107 studies published on low-carbohydrate diets in the past 35 years. They found that the diets of those who lost the most weight (22 pounds or more, on average) varied widely in carbohydrate content, up to 60 grams a day. You mean, from none to half the level required to get out of ketosis? That isn't "widely" to me. What they all had in common, however, was that calories were restricted to about 1,100 per day and the diets lasted about four to five months." Losing the most weight requires the fewest calories per day, sure. What were the results for people who dieted for even longer than 4-5 months?
