Study:  Low Carb Weight Loss Not Water Weight

This is great news for those of you who choose (and love) the low carb lifestyle!  “According to lead researcher, Guenther Boden, M.D., ‘When carbohydrates were restricted, study subjects spontaneously reduced their caloric intake to a level appropriate for their height, did not compensate by eating more protein or fat, and lost weight.  We concluded that excessive overeating had been fueled by carbohydrates.’”

Evidently, eating carbs (bad carbs) leads to overeating.  And the weight loss in the above study is NOT due to a change in metabolism.

So if you are living the low carb life, you’re doing the right thing.
