[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2178336, member: 368709"] Hi there The short answer to that is ‘it depends’. For some people low carb leads to weight loss, for others it doesn’t. I’d urge you to look at things from the point of view of blood sugar reduction and increasing insulin sensitivity as those things will impact most on your health. For both of those things the keys are what you eat - and low carb is ideal- and when/how often you eat. So cutting out snacks will be helpful and if you can manage it, some intermittent fasting so that you extend the period of the day in which you don’t eat will also help. For me a side effect of both those strategies was weight loss. Reducing portion size can be a difficult path to take. The great thing about low carb (and particularly Keto) is the ability to eat to satiety with the ability to feel full for longer. If you cut down on portion size then you risk being over hungry and/or impacting your metabolism making it difficult to achieve or maintain weight loss. I’d recommend a read of Dr Jason Fung’s book the Obesity Code or the more recent Diabetes Code. [/QUOTE]
