[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 495411, member: 13582"] The counter argument that I would suggest is that low-cal diets work because they are, by necessity, low-carb and not just because they leave you energy deficient. The fact that they are energy deficient means that they are impossible to stick to because your body is specifically designed to react very strongly to energy deficiency. Starvation is not a viable approach to food; your body will quite rightly consider that an emergency situation and will start to respond in kind by slowing your metabolism, making you hungry (so you prioritise eating) burning fats and in the long run burning muscle. So, the solution is to then stay low carb but get the necessary energy for your body from fats and proteins. By the way if there is 'speck' in Phoenix's eye does that imply there is a 'beam' in Ian's? If so that's a bit harsh. 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win' as my good friend Mohandas K Gandhi said. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
