[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't really believe in calories in/calories out. I'm 5'8" female at 150 lbs and can eat about 2000 calories of healthy foods and still lose weight but if I eat 1700 calories of junk I gain. Bodies are weird.[/quote]
Agree 100%
After you eat  cake (sugar) your body insulin spikes more and tells your body to store it as fat.
VS same calorie :
Healthy fats/proteins (salmon) your body insulin spikes very little fill full longer you store less fat.
[b]I think the best you can do is very low carbs with IF for fat loss.[/b]

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.[/quote]
How are people on low carbs losing fat without counting calories?[/quote]

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[b]. If I ate 4000 calories a day of pure fat, protein and some veggies, I’d be low carb but gain weight[/b]. [/quote]

This is going to go over your head but you would probably lose weight.  [/quote]
