Here's my 2c worth:
Calories in vs calories out is bullshit. It doesn't work. The human body is not as simple as that.
All calories are not created equal. A calorie of fat does not process the same as a calorie of carbs or protein.
I have done a LOT of reading from authors such as Gary Taubes, Mark Sisson and Robb Wolf as well as experimented on myself.
If you want to lose weight then insulin is the enemy. You want to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin spikes. You do this by eating less than 100 calories a day of carbs.
There is a great movie called FAT HEAD by Tom Naughton. It has some great info in it as well as being a good laugh. It will really open your eyes to the lies that you have been sold by the govt. bodies. (ie. the food pyramid is wrong) http://www.marksdailyapple.com/introducing-the-new-primal-blueprint-food-pyramid/#axzz2FaShT97M
I personally lost 5kg over 2wks (going from 75kg to 70kg at 175cm height) by:
1. Eating no processed foods or starches or yeast or grains, including potatoes, bread, soft drinks or anything with sugar.
2. No diary (dairy increases acidity which strips calcium from your bones)
3. No fruit
4. No alcohol
5. No exercise. No not one single bit! It's extremely overrated for fat loss.
6. No legumes (beans or soy)
Holy shit you say! What the fuck do you eat?
Every meat and vegetable on the planet, like the way the human body was designed to function.
