[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 694231, member: 41816"] Yes. Just finished reading Phinney and Volek's [I]Art and Science of Low Carb Living[/I]. They go into the calories issue in quite a lot of detail. and Insulin resistance, which I understand far better now. Fascinating. Previously, I really didn't appreciate the huge impact that insulin resistance has, especially in women, especially in women with hormonal stuff going on. Volek and Phinney have also done studies on groups of morbidly obese people (like me) and 1 study observed the effects over 56 weeks. The diet was something like 1600 cals, ketogenic, with 2g of added sodium. Their observation was that exercise wasn't much of a factor, and that, for the year, plateauing and stalling of weight loss was far less than on low fat diets of the same calorific intake. The blood panel benefits were very impressive. I found their book has increased my understanding dramatically, and it has inspired me to buy the New Atkins Diet book that they co-authored. I'll see what other pearls of wisdom I can pick up in there. :) Edited to add: they have also done some work on the levels of fat needed for weight loss and maintenance, in ketosis. I must admit the graphs looked rather intimidating. To eat their projected amount of fat for weight maintenance, at my current weight, would be frankly impossible, I think. Unless I stopped moving altogether! Shucks. It looks like weight loss is inevitable for me. How WILL I cope? ;) [/QUOTE]
