i lost weight when i cut calories.  if you exercise you burn calories, so you can either eat more or lose weight faster if you exercise.

+1  People are full of it.  They make all of these claims with absolute certainty, but it's still all based on very unproven theory.  If it was simply a hormonal formula that went into play, then someone would profit off of selling hormonal supplements/injections to get it right.  If it was just regulating sugar, then doctors would try insulin on people trying to lose weight.

[b]Some of the skinniest people I know eat plenty of sugar and carbs.[/b]  They're also very active and eat a moderate amount of total food.

What I will say is that a lot of people probably do lose weight when they cut out sugar and carbs, likely because it gives them an easy way of reducing the total calories they eat.  Most of the readily available food around is carbs/sugar.  So if you cut all of that out, there isn't as much available to cheat with in between meals.

but whatever.

One thing I have noticed is that in middle age, it seems to me that men get more results with cardio and women tend to get more results if they do some sort of strength training regime.  [/quote]

This is me. Diet food, low carb, and no sugar didn't work for me. Caused me to binge eat. I kept my eye on the number of calories I ate per day (not the amount of carbs/sugar I ate), but weight didn't come off until I started doing cardio. 45 mins - 1 hr per day. I eat ice cream once a week as a treat. My regular carbs include a pasta dish once a week, whole wheat bread with sandwiches, dressing with salad (though that's more fat than carbs), full fat milk and yogurt, lots of fruit, white sugar in my coffee, and sweet tea. I'm 5'4 115 lbs.[/quote]

Maybe the previous low carb diet was too extreme?

Your current diet seems carb controlled compared to the average diet[/quote]
