On one of my message boards we're doing a weight loss accountabiltiy. Well, all of the women are convinced that carbs make you gain weight and that going low carb makes you lose weight. They don't count calories. Many of them have lost weight but they were starting at very high weights and weren't shooting for anything spectacular. Most of them are women who get pregnant often so there is no way to tell if they can maintain their weight for any period of time as they are always pregnant (I don't mean that in a derogatory way, its just a fact). I would like to find some sort of reliable information I can share with them about the link between calories and weight loss. I've told them but its not getting across. So, are there any good studies or something I could share with them? Any links here that would be useful? If it wasn't an accountability forum I wouldn't bother but the whole point is to help one another.
