[QUOTE="zand, post: 2356626, member: 85197"] Because that was the only thing they artificially altered. You stated that the weight was lost because calories were reduced, and it seemed like you were saying this was there was a calorie limit placed on the participants. I stopped trying to reduce calories to lose weight after a bad bout of flu 14 years ago. My son and I were both very ill with it. We ate nothing, only managing a few sips of water for 5 days, and then had only a few small nibbles for the next 6, a maximum of 200 cals per day for those 6 days. He wasn't overweight at all at the onset yet he lost 11 1/2 pounds over those 11 days. I was morbidly obese and lost just half a pound. It was then that I realised that calorie counting was never going to work for me. On another thread a poster said he knew he was becoming insulin resistant because of darker skin in the armpits. I never knew that was a sign of IR until I read that. I was young and slim when the change in colour happened to me. I remained slim for a few years after that. Skin tags didn't appear until much later when I was already obese. Just mentioning it as part of the chicken and egg argument re insulin resistance. What comes first weight gain or insulin resistance? I always thought it was the weight gain until I read that other thread. Maybe that isn't so clear cut either. To be honest I don't care enough about why low carbing works and low calorie doesn't work for me anymore to bother reading the complicated stuff you and other posters have written. I understand that you need to know why, but I don't. I am glad that you have been listening to us and no longer think it's just a case of calories in/calories out, that is the main reason I have posted on your threads. I hope you find the answers you are looking for and I hope that you keep an open mind. [/QUOTE]
