[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to eliminate carbs to lose weight. I think a lot of the reason people lose weight on low-carb diets is because they're practicing portion control and not eating a bunch of empty carbs that they are not burning off with cardio. I'm a distance runner, so I'll never eliminate carbs, but I practice portion control (1 piece of bread at dinner, not 4, 1 serving of spaghetti, not 3) and I'm choosy about the carbs I eat - like whole grains vs. white starchy carbs. [/quote] Not true for everyone. I gain weight on a portion-controlled diet of 1200-1300 calories per day, but lose weight on a low-carb diet where I don't measure or log food. Individual bodies respond differently to various ways of eating. [/quote]
