[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1274158, member: 245335"] As I'm a person who has needed to lose weight for quite some time, despite doing the lower calories and more exercise. Lowering my carbs was the way I lost weight, but when I stopped losing my GP said I needed to eat more and the quickest way was to eat more cheese and yoghurt.BIG MISTAKE! I gained 2 stone despite cutting back as soon as I saw the numbers going up. I've seen it written that you don't have to watch calories, but I don't think that works for most people. You can use the Harris Benedict formula to calculate what you should be eating, and most diet organisations suggest taking 500 from that to allow a one or two pound weight loss per week, that's the theory, reality is slightly different for some. Dieting is not an exact science and unfortunately we can follow the rules, not cheat, and still go nowhere, although crucial thing is not to give up. Once you give in that's when the weight returns. The Kreb cycle, which broadly speaking (because I'm not going to pretend I know what it is in any detail) is a series of chemical reactions which converts carbs/proteins/fats to energy for muscles to use. If any of those chemical reactions isn't working properly for some reason, who knows what goes on? [/QUOTE]
