If we're talking about weight loss, low carb does indeed work for everyone, just not everyone can stick with it, because the link between brain and gut is complex and strong, physical activity levels vary which impacts the speed of progress, etc.
It is a fact that there is no process by which someone eats less than 20 g of carbs per day and does not lose weight.

- hnuser123456 7y agoSure, yes, of course, but protein especially being harder to digest means for eating a constant mass of food, lower carb will cause faster weight loss than a higher proportion of carbs in the diet. Also, regarding your HN bio, google no longer claims "don't be evil" as a motto as of 2018.

- mnemonicsloth 7y agoWow. They've got us over a barrel if they don't even bother to lie to us any more. As for the ease of digestion, I know protein has the same caloric content as carbohydrate (both 4 cal/g). Fat is 9cal/g. Seems straightforward to me.
