you really know nothing about how the body works, do you? |
then how have I lost weight eating a diet with plenty of carbs? Just because you don't believe something doesn't mean it's not true. Oh, that's right, by creating a calorie deficit. Eat fewer calories than your body needs and it will uses stored fat and some muscle to get the energy it needs. Enough with over complicating fat loss and thinking you need some perfect combo to lose weight. You don't. Now some people mentally do better on some diets and I won't argue that a diet higher in protein will fill you up more than one high in carbs, but you could also eat all cabrs and still lose weight as long as you don't use more calories than you burn. |
You can pretend Your morning donut and can of soda is a 350 low calorie breakfast. |
How are people on low carbs losing fat without counting calories? |
If I ate 1200 calories of donuts and soda every day for a month I would lose weight. I wouldn’t feel great but I’d still lose weight. Would also lose more muscle from lack of protein, but at the end of the day a deficit is a deficit. |
Because when you cut carbs you tend to also cut a lot of calories. Eat fewer calories = create calorie deficit = fat loss. It’s very easy to overeat carbs and lots of junky snack foods are carbs. You also lose some water weight initially by depleting glycogen. But there is nothing about low carb that changes how your body uses energy. If I ate 4000 calories a day of pure fat, protein and some veggies, I’d be low carb but gain weight. |

Any diet is about creating a calorie deficit. It's just that keto is easy for many people because when you eat enough fat and protein you are not really hungry.
I like keto but it's still easy to eat too many calories if you are not tracking (especially if you like cheese as much as I do). |
This is NOT TRUE. Stop telling lies. |
This is going to go over your head but you would probably lose weight. |
