If you consumed the same amount of food, how did you substitute the sugar you took away? Sugar has a lot of calories per weight, if you simply reduced the calories intake then losing weight isn't unexpected.
- polshaw 14y agoThey said amount, not 'calorific value'. Penhaps it was replaced with lower calorie food. But i think there is also the factor that sugary foods/carbs are more addictive and not as satiating as fatty foods (eg 'i'll just have another biscuit', cf. considerable successes of keto diets). Eating something less sugary may have had a knock on effect and reduced the amount of food eaten later.
- peteretep 14y agoI ate until I was no longer hungry, just not sugar. Did I eat fewer calories? Almost certainly. Did I go hungry, or feel like I was eating less? Not at all...
- ryusage 14y agoI think it's pretty safe to say then that the weight just started falling off because you were taking in less calories. That'll happen. I don't think there's any reason to assume that the same thing wouldn't have happened if you had cut out fats or protein instead.
