There are studies performed that have lead to different outcomes. What I have learned over the years is that anything that spikes your insulin levels will tell your body to store all incoming calories to fat cells. Sugar, carbs, bread and starches all spike your insulin levels. You can get your healthy carbs from raw veggies. Why raw? You lose 90% of the nutrients if you cook it.
I agree you shouldn't starve yourself and your body will go into survival mode and not release fat cells generously.
I find that I never feel hungry during the day. I never feel full either. Lol I'm only hungry at night after the 6 meal but I wake up just fine. My theory is I'm burning fat for energy. It's crazy how much energy the brain uses when you sleep. I think in my case it's coming from fat. Either way there are tons of theories and diets and I think it's good that I document what happens day by day to prove one that is valid... or not. We will see. Thanks for the comment.
