“every year 98% of your atoms are replaced with the air that you breathe, the foods that you eat and the liquid that you drink [79].

“Even if a calorie is a calorie when it comes to weight loss then carbohydrate restricted diets are better anyway. The main criticism from these folks is that the only reason people lose weight on low carb diets is because of the decrease in calories. Indeed, eat as much as you want low carb dieters often reduce the amount of calories they eat to similar amounts as calorie counting low fat dieters.”

“For me the only way total calories consumed matter in terms of weight management are their total contribution to fattening biochemical reactions from different foodstuffs. In other words it does matter how many calories of bread or meat you eat as 100 calories will have a smaller biochemical effect than 1,000 calories of both foods. Biochemistry leads and physics follows.”

“A more appropriate statement would be that, if you store more calories than you expend you'll gain weight. Store being the operative word there and a rather obvious observation to make about someone that is getting heavier. This more appropriate statement allows us to ask the question, why are you storing more body fat than you're losing? Is it because of the total calories you consumed, or is it because of a biochemical stimulus that makes your fat tissue grow created from the quality and quantity of foods and drinks that you consume.”

“As someone who sells exercise classes it was very difficult at first to accept that exercise isn't particularly good for fat loss. However, after having read a lot of the research that's out there on exercise and fat loss there is no doubt in my mind that it has little direct effect through energy expenditure.”

“The Effects of a Low-Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet and a Low-Fat Diet on Mood, Hunger, and Other Self-Reported Symptoms [25]. In this trial 59 low carb dieters lost 12.9kg or 28.4lbs over 6 months, and low fat dieters lost 6.7kg or 14.7lbs over 6 months. Although the low carb dieters lost almost twice as much weight they had statistically significant less hunger than the low fat dieters,”
