How does it work?!
"http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/15"
Indeed, thermodynamics,ie. as measured by calories, describes all diet plans. Excessive calorie intake is stored as fat. Reducing calorie intake below daily energy requirements will in time cause fat stores to be used to replace the difference. Some differences in the calorie cost of various metabolic pathways required in digesting various nutrients can affect the energy process as described above. High protein intake is said to require more energy to metabolis by a small amount then carb and fat,ie. it takes more caloric energy to turn proteins into forms usable as energy sources for cells. Once all the calorie arthmetic has been done balancing the various combinations then we arrive at the most basic statement of weight loss - all diets in the end cause weight loss or gain because of the number of calories consumed. |
