The correct answer.

This is so obviously a dumb statement. In what way physiologically do you think carbs become unnecessary as you age? And regardless, they are absolutely critical for weight straining and muscle gains.

So can we please stop already with this uninformed carb nonsense.

DP: When I reduce carbs I drop weight very quickly. But the carbs I'm reducing are related to pasta, rice, bread, crackers. I still eat legumes, vegetables and fruit.

You lose weight quickly when you cut carbs for a number of reasons.

1. when you reduce carbs you drop water weight because you deplete glycogen stores. This is why you weigh less almost immediately if you have a day or two where you greatly reduce carbs and why you weigh more the minute you eat more carbs.

2. you have cut out an entire food group. which leads to reduction of calories. which leads to fat loss. If you cut out those carbs calories but replaces them with other calories you would still maybe lose some initial water weight, but would eventually stop losing fat if calories are still high.

Carbs are not bad. Stop believing the diet industry BS.

Did you read what I wrote! Clearly you didn't. Where did I say I cut out a food group?? Did I say carbs were bad?? NO I didn't stop the crap and take your lack of reading comprehension somewhere else.

DP, but you did clearly imply when you said, "When I reduce carbs I drop weight very quickly" that it is the carbs that are the problem, not the calories from the foods you reduced. Now it seems you are backpedaling.

No re-read what I wrote. Not backpedaling. Maybe change your contacts or clean your glasses. Now I'm off to go eat a giant bowl of pasta...

Sorry I hit a nerve, maybe you need a big bowl of pasta to make you feel better.

+1000

Muscle is heavier than fat. If you are seeing a significant difference in your waist measurements you are doing great! Keep it up!

Another person here who thinks OP should stick to low carb days all the time to see progress. Low carb to most people actually means “normal portion sizes” so it works out to be the correct amount for them. Make those fewer carbs the most nutritious you can (this is another benefit of believing that “low carb” works - you stick to berries and vegetables and eliminate the crap food like crackers). Keep your protein up and keep going! It does take time to change your body, there’s no quick fix.

You are smaller, you feel better, and you're eating more and feeling satisfied....who cares what the scale says???

[b]You're not reducing carbs. You are reducing high calorie, non-nutrient dense foods[b].

.....AKA carbs

But it isn't carbs...it is empty calories. I eat a shitton of whole grain carbs a day...just within a calorie range. Carbs are not the enemy; empty, non-nutritious calories are. Even then, white bread and pasta can be a part of a weight loss and maintenance plan.

Exactly. This same group of people will say something dumb like "I drink gin and tonic because of the carb content." Or they will eat half a loaf of bread in a sitting and wonder why they have a problem.

I do not think you’re eating enough calories. Try a calorie counter like Noom - they give you a weight loss zone for calories, and you can’t go below it.
