You know, I noticed this too. I never really thought about it until now.
Two things come to mind:

*Low-carb, high-fat is protein/muscle sparing, so you lose more fat and less muscle than you do on low-calorie
*Low-carb drops bloat, so you don't feel so "squishy".

What you say TOTALLY makes sense!



Oh, and Tiger - you might be relieved to hear that we don't ALL do that.
Ouch! Sounds painful!
