Weight Loss or Better Health

Hi Group,

I been Carycribing to the low carb philosophy for a while and I am wondering
what others are thinking about this.

Sure it is easy to say eating refined carbs are pretty bad for us. Everyone
can agree with that. Reducing the amount of these carbohydrates is better
for anyones health and will result in weight loss as well.

What do you think? Does weight loss on a low carb diet result mainly because
eating low-carb foods are more satisfying and keep full longer resulting in
less calorie intake during your day or does eating low-carb shift your body
into fatburning mode making it use fat for energy instead of carbs.

Myself I find low-carb easy to stick to and weight loss results but I am not
sure it is because ketosis switches my body into burning fat or I just eat
fewer calories.

Lately I've been thinking about this and I am sure it is a combination of
both.
I notice myself gaining weight when the calories go up but weight loss
occurs
when I fall back on a variation of induction.

Both....the first is surely obvious to any low-carber, while the second has
to be true too since you're eating LC food, with is generally high in fat.
So whatever you eat supplies energy to your burn, so you can say you're
burning fat (I personally don't like such terms since you're also burning
whatever carbs you eat too).

Well, in the end, you lose weight because you eat fewer calories than your
body needs.

Wow, I'm glad you cleared that up, because I thought I must now be HOPELESSLY out
of the loop for the latest lingo :-)

I think it's probably a combination of the two. I lost weight at a higher
calorie level, but it was very slow, and I had to drop it down to lose more
quickly. I had increased my calorie level over the last 3 weeks, and my weight
loss stopped. It also, however, coincided with reduced exercise due to being
sick for 3 weeks AND my TOM.

There is also the issue of excess insulin in a high-carb diet, however, which is
more likely to create ongoing fat DEPOSITS as opposed to WITHDRAWALS, which could
certainly slow down any attempted weight loss.
