[quote=Anonymous]No matter the diet, you have to eat fewer calories and/or increase activity to lose weight. Decreasing your carbs inevitably means you eat more protein/fat, which keeps you fuller longer. Ultimately you end up eating less (hopefully). This could backfire if you eat so many fats, you end up eating as much, or even more, than your body needs: think five blocks of cheese or something similarly high fat. Eliminating carbs also leads to an initial drop of water weight, as carbs hold on to water. Ultimately, both low carb and low fat could get you to the same result - it's just how your body reacts to either diet. Alternatively, you don't need to eliminate any particular food group/ macro to lose weight - you could just limit your portions by cutting them in half, or doing intermittent fasting, or any weight watchers. . . Personally I've had luck with all versions although I feel foggy/sluggish on very low carb/keto. [/quote]
