If you don't mind the personal question....

How disciplined were you on the low fat diet and how restrictive was it?

I'm not doubting your success with low carb in the least. I waste away quite rapidly on it...so can't afford to eat like that...even though it gives me beautiful bgls.

But I'm also a scientist. You can't get fat if you're burning more than you're eating. It's a very simple equation. And it works very well with me. It doesn't matter what I eat, if I don't eat enough I get thinner.

So I'm interested to know if you are arguing that it is a better way to lose weight from an energy point of view or from a discipline point of view (ie easier to maintain for you?).
