Which Way Works?

So, back to 100 things...

High Carb/Low Fat or High Protein/Low Carb? Which works better for weight loss?

According to one study... it depends.

Interesting scientific analysis at the link.

Holy cow, what crazy posting thing has LJ done now???

Sorry. It's just when I opened to respond and LJ opened this weird posting screen ... wha???

Anyway, I wish fitnesspal would allow me to adjust some stuff, but if it can, I haven't found how.

Basically, I've been sticking with "avoid highly processed foods, artificial sweetners and reduce sugar" and then just counting calories. I find that I tend to choose fairly close to the standard rec. breakdown of carbs, fats, proteins. It's the tracking calories (and avoiding sugar) that's the primary challenge.

Oh, you can! I use myfitnesspal, too. It took me forever (and someone showing me) to figure it out. You go to home, goals, and then click on "change goals" at the bottom of the page, and you can edit from there.

But in general, I think your plan is a good one. Eat real food, not too much. :-)

And yes, LJ has started to implement their threatened promised changes, I see. Yay. :-/
