Does what i eat matter for losing weight given a fixed caloric intake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think so: Some foods can cause fluid retention which could make you gain weight even when dieting. People who ate a low carbohydrate diet found it easier to follow that a low calorie diet or one that is high in carbohydrates.
