[quote=Anonymous]Calories in and Calories out has not been disproven- that's really a  general misinterpretation. It's not as simple as that statement because metabolism plays too large a role, so its not really calorie per calorie burned.   Some who exercise more and eat the same may have a different result than those who eat  differently or exercise differently, or not at all. Its about YOU and not the type of food.Metabolism slows down in this age group- people need to adjust how they ate from when they had a great metabolism.

It boils down to how many calories can YOU  burn based on your metabolism and your eating habits. In the end, in order to lose weight we will have eat less period, not really less of one food category.  If you go low carb and lose weight, great, but it is because you are eating less calories than your were before from a whole category of food that was probably providing too much in the way of intake, not because you are eating less of that category of food. Eat carbs, but eat less, bit not to the degree that you don;t eat them as a food group. Eat thte bread, the sweet potato, the pasta- but less.

Portion control Portion control Portion control- eat what you want, but, sorry, you will eat less of it. That's all. You do need to exercise to be healthy, but  it might not contribute to a huge loss of weight. Having said that, if you start training for a marathon, and you are running everyday, miles at a time, yes, you will lose weight. And you will eventually have to carb up a little. [/quote]
