I do agree with …
I do agree with what you did say, but a self can have sausage cheescake and fried chicken even chocolate if they thing those calories in thier daily total. even a unhealthy diet of quick food will produce weight loss if your taking in less calories. I remember in highschool I was very thin on a diet of just mcdonalds and bugerking. I was about 130-135 at 5’8 But i walked 1 hour to school and back and was very committed. But I reckon somones diet atkins whatever may be dependant on thier workouts.

Yep get all those …
Yep get all those in my diet too – I reckon the question is the amount. My diet is full of grains in flax, fruits in strawberries after Induction, and veggies in a full daily part on each single phase of the diet.

I never said …
I never said everyone has to follow low carb to lose weight, but it certainly worked out best for me. I have been able to fuel my full and half marathons on no more than 30-45g of Carbs per day as well as my high intensity workouts and sprints like 5k or playing basketball.

As for going through life without bread or pasta, those are part of the diet, but restricted. To me going through life without sausage, cheesecake, or fried chicken would be a huge sacrifice. To each their own…

Check out my …
Check out my Calories In – Calories Out fallacy video for my thoughts on the simple burn more calories than you take in argument. The small answer is in many studies Low Carb followers lost more weight eating more Calories than Low Stout followers. If you are cutting Cals and maintaining the same other macronutrient amounts, you are doing it incorrect. That is why Atkins is a high stout diet.

As for Carbs being the preferred source, it may be the simplest or cheapest source. That doesn’t mean best.

I reckon the real …
I reckon the real point of contention between our understandings is one what is vital to track to lose weight. I am saying you can pretty much ignore Calories with the assumption that ketogenic diets naturally reduce hunger, reduce appetite, and also encourage the body to burn stored body stout while also preventing the metabolic pathways to store body stout. The only reason I ever cared about Calories was to ensure I got enough.

My question is …
My question is who’s definition of balanced do you follow? USDA can’t make up their mind what their recommendation are. I just personally do not believe there is a necessity for people to HAVE to eat refined sugars, flours, or starches. Most people would see large gains in shape benefits if they would drop that out.

But some resistance training will increase thier metabolism and ability to store glycogen. I am talking to the general public as a whole. Personaly i am just over the whole “diet” thing and just moniter my calories and activity level. But everyone IS different, my opinion is to try a balanced diet first with a caloric deficit, and then if thats not working for them try a diet system.

i used to be 230 at 5’10 and started untreated bodybuilding 4 years ago and im now at 5’10 185 at 9 percent body stout. I know glycogen stores carry carbohydrates so the more muscle a self may buy, the more glycogen (carbs for fuel) they can eat this storing it in thier muscles and not in thier stout. So i found as the years go by i had the ability to eat more carbs and food overal because of the higher glycogen stores in my muscles. I be with you not everyone wants to be a bodybuilder
