[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1365906, member: 355878"] That a calorie is a calorie is not what I found. My doctor had me eating a very low calorie diet, under 1000 calories a day and I was not losing weight so he wanted to put it even lower, and soon after that I rebelled because I couldn't do anything as I was so feeble. I tried altering the make up of what I ate to include fewer carbs, and straight away began to lose weight. I could happily eat far more calories and be losing weight every day. I read that many of Dr Atkins patients experienced the same thing, when I eventually found the book 'New diet revolution' which he wrote. As for exercise - a great way to become ravenously hungry. When I am eating low carb I find that I radiate heat, and feel energetic, I go out of the house more and walk further - even on cold days as it affects me less. There can't be negative calories, but it certainly feels like it. I know that I cannot substitute carbs from more starchy foods for lighter ones and still lose weight at the same rate - 5gm of beans are more than 5gm of celery for instance - when it comes to adding up the totals. There is something else going on which has been ridiculed for a long time, but successful weight loss and incidentally blood glucose control is involved. [/QUOTE]
