it's for real. The weirder thing is that, some people here stall on 1600 calories and break the stall by raising it to 2400 LC calories.
The mechanistic calories in = calories out theory is over a hundred years old. What other medical field can you think of that a hundred-year-old theory is still operating?
We know that some people simply weigh 200 or 250, no matter what they do to their calories. It's "set point theory" and quite interesting to read about!
If a person has only 10-15 pounds to lose, was never overweight as a kid...then they have probably simply overeating calories and "low fat" (which only works because it's lower calorie) will take the weight off.
If you have childhood onset obesity, obesity on the heels of a pregnancy, or weight of over 50 pounds to lose, you're insulin resistant, and low-carb is the way to go...
