How come people lose so much weight from low carb diets when calories make us fat?
I don’t understand, I always thought it was calories that make us fat. And my friend went on a low carb diet, I haven’t seen him till yesterday and he lost like 50 freaking pounds. wtf? I thought it was calories that made us fat? now im starting not to believe everything people tell me about food.

your question answers itself. LOW carb means LESS carbs.

Carbs are the bodies main source of energy, take away them and your body has to turn to stored energy.
However, low carb diets such as atkins are really unhealthy . Carbs aren’t the enemy and lots more people lose weight while still eating them.

carbs get stored by body, proteins do not get stored by body, so your body takes as many proteins it needs and eliminates the rest. that’s why people lose weight on low carbs diet. and don’t u worry about your friend – he will gain double what he has lost in a very short time – as soon as he stops low carbs diet. and it is not a question IF, it is a question WHEN, cos nobody can live on a low carbs diet – it makes u tired, dizzy and stupid – without sugar brains can’t function
