[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2354076, member: 403497"] The idea of low carbohydrate diets as a dietary option to lose weight/manage blood sugars is a solid one. They work, the only difference between myself and other members on this thread is the reason. You have lost weight on a low carbohydrate diet, my explanation for this obviously seems to fail to explain it if you matched your calorie intake to your energy requirements (I do not believe it is all just about calories). However the theory that it is because insulin has been reduced, in my opinion, doesn't explain it either based on everything I have looked at. And early in my career I started out really trying to prove the insulin hypothesis is true. It sounded plausible and I felt it neatly explained for me things I couldn't (why some didn't lose weight when I reduced calories for example). I can only speak from my experiences and discuss with the people here my opinion. I accept that I cannot speak to your personal experience, findings and results and whilst I may sound contradictory I only offer my opinion. I hope I haven't implied that people such as yourself are wrong. A better way of framing it would be that I do not understand how reduction in insulin could explain your weight loss if you match a low carbohydrate diet to your energy needs. Studies do not show this. [/QUOTE]
