It's about 5kg of water loss that will mess up your statistics if you just measure weight. So if you are looking at weight, a low carb diet loses you more weight. If you look at fat, it performs the same as a medium or high carb diet.
That doesn't mean you can't lose fat on a low carb diet, of course.
- narag 12y agoExcept I would have been unable to do low calories at the time because I felt it like starving, while low carbs was pleasant, sustainable (last time for two years) and worked like a charm. So if I lost 5 kg of water and "only" 15 kg of fat, so be it... as opposed to 0 kg of anything with low calories. In 30 years I've read a lot against low-carbs, but nothing that can reconcile the fact that it works.
- iopq 12y agoLow carbs did make you eat lower calories, so if it works for you, that's great. A low calorie diet is not opposed to a low carb diet, a low carb diet is usually a low calorie diet.
