Re: Low-carb diets
It falls off, then piles back on, and then some, once you go back to the carbs.
Trust a fat messican on this one!

Re: Low-carb diets
I have heard about the rebound. You need to be low carb for life. No more than 100-150 grams per day. Difficult, for sure!!

just get out and hike or walk or whatever. carbs don't matter if you burn them off and you don't go hog-wild (pun intended) at the buffet line.

Re: Low-carb diets
I am very active - rugby, running and weight-lifting. I've found it great to strip those stubborn last few pounds. I'm the weight I was at 21 (a long time ago).

cool. i could stand to lose a few pounds, but this past year i was more active than ever, and i'm in the best shape i've ever been in. Living in the northeast US, it's not easy to get outside this time of year...but i still do it. its a good workout to walk in the snow.

Re: Low-carb diets
The food pyramid represents a whole grain based diet. which historically is the proper diet for a human. we weren't meant to eat flesh everyday and there are other sources of protein; legumes, dairy, etc. I was my thinnest when I adhered to a macrobiotic diet which is ALL carbs! So there!
and beware after my father followed the Atkins diet, his cardiologist found a 98% plaque blockage in his coronary artery. So, I'd beware of those hi protein ie. high cholesterol diets!! You might drop weight but not without consequences.
The best exercise for losing weight is that that elevates and sustains your heart rate over 150 bpm. That's what I've been doing.

Re: Low-carb diets
A few of your points are the exact opposite of many texts I have read on this issue. Interesting.

Re: Low-carb diets
Unlike calories that the body's metabolism can burn quickly and convert to fuel, carbohydrates are more difficult to break down and take along time to burn. It is more likely that only some of the carbs will be used as fuel and the remainder turns into unwanted body mass. Don't worry as much about calories, but keep tabs on the carbs.
