not exactly related to exante but sort of is!!!
I have found this article below
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=55692&page=1
got me thinking... so people say if you consume 3500 calories over your maintenance calories it adds up to one pound of fat storage... and this is a very low calorie diet...
so i know ketosis helps us with hunger, but would 600 calories worth of fruit (with all of the carbs) not be exactly the same as (lets say for arguments sake) 600 calories of fatty foods... or even 600 calories worth of exante packs.
The fact we are strictly restricting to 600 calories makes everything equal purely on weight loss terms as we are creating the same calorie deficit...
i do understand that you could easily consume 600 calories from a small amount of food like ice cream, so you would be left feeling deprived in comparison to having a huge salads worth of 600 calories...
you get the idea... are calories just calories in weight loss terms?
