What causes off of a low-carb diet without gaining weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's calories, not c: It's not carbs, but calories, that determine whether you'll lose weight. A calorie is a calorie to your body, and it takes 3500 to gain or lose a pound. Eat less, exercise more and you'll be fine.
