Okay, I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there...Yeah, I was mostly joking with that tidbit. There is a difference between effective at losing weight and effective at keeping you on a diet. The second is more complex and would have to account for personal preferences. A bit like THR actually, whether you vape or use ST, as long as you don't smoke. If you're someone who can't give up carbs but can otherwise restrict your caloric intake, you should lose weight.
My wife is in Weight Watchers.
Which I consider to be a mostly low-fat diet.
And since she makes all the food around here, I am on that diet as well.
It works.
But when we have a Food Holiday coming up, and we want to feel free to indulge...
We go low-carb for one week.
I routinely lose AT LEAST 5 pounds during that week.
And I'm eating bacon, sausage, cheese, steak, creamy sauces, and all the other good low-carb foods.
Low carb works.
Definitely.
But believe it or not, you really do get tired of having bacon.
And having no bread? That get's old very fast.
That's why we only do it for a week.
