[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 769123, member: 94045"] It is all a question of balance between carbs and fats. It is a fine balance and not always easy to find that balance. When you cut carbs you lose calories (energy), so you lose weight. You do have to replace this lost energy (calories) or you will quickly become tired and off colour. You can only replace this lost energy (calories) by increasing fats and/or protein. If you want to lose weight you have to watch that you aren't replacing your lost energy (calories) by too much, or you will not lose weight. Find the right balance for you personally. I was lucky. I found the right balance straight away and lost 31% of my weight without any effort. My problems started when I reached target weight because I just kept losing. I had to really up my fats to stop this, and it took a few months of trial and error to find a new balance.. So to answer your question, eating more fats won't make you lose more weight. Eating the right amount of fats for your personal energy requirements will. In other words, a bit of calorie counting might be necessary in addition to carb counting. [/QUOTE]
