Sort of, yes, but nothing is that easy. For me personally it took a few months of constant weight gain and unstoppable appetite (post low-carb) until the body experienced enough accompanied by six months of slow (but smart) weight loss doing the opposite thing. Unfurtunatly it’s been the situation with a great many other ex-lowcarbers I’ve are exposed to through my blog.

I suppose Matt Stone has the “english equivalent” although unique of my ideas in many ways. So, I’ve no basic idea if long-term low-carb can be tackled by carbing up short-term. I have not chosen that path myself, so I wouldn’t know very well what to think. I know however that a low-carb “guru” over here suggests carbing up when weight loss stalls, which is cool since most low-carbers here are really rigorous pretty.

But, in the end it’s all calories from fat in, calories out. Whatever diet you can eat to satiety leading to spontaneous long-term calorie limitation works (whether it’s not too low in calories from fat that is). Obviously, it’s the same thing with long-term energy expenditure. Every day it’ll burn off a lot of calories and vice versa In the event that you feel like being hyper-active.

This will be a continuous process you’ll need to learn. Portion control at restaurants is very complicated, especially nowadays when restaurants provide extra-large servings. It is manageable definitely, though, so don’t worry. I still like to eat out every once in awhile, but I’m in a position to keep my food portion sizes in order. Eat until you are satisfied and take the rest to go – don’t overeat merely to finish the portion! Be sure you go heavy on the greens and ask for veggies as a side always.

Portion control will help you lose weight and also keep weight off, and it’s all part of the process of controlling what foods you’re eating with clean eating.

Hopefully, you’ll find how good it feels to be in control of your meal (instead of at battle) and alert to what, how much, and when you’re eating. Conscious eating and educated choices – this is the billed power of part control. And I’m sure you’ll notice the long-term, results along the way!
