Switching from low carb to low fat diet

[Mindgone]

I've been low carbing for a few weeks now, and getting a bit fed up with it, and stalling too. So, I'm thinking of changing to a more traditional way of losing weight. Has anyone any experience of doing this switch? I'm worried that if I start eating more carbs now, the weight I've lost will suddenly reappear! I'm also going on a big special holiday in 2 1/2 weeks, and will be eating a varied diet there.
Any help or advice please?

Ultimately all that matters is whether you're in a calorie surplus or deficit. There might be a small fluctuation in weight when you switch plans, but if you are eating less than you burn you'll ultimately lose weight.

Thanks

This has been shown not to be the case. What you eat is as important as how much of it you eat.

Traditional = flying int he face of more modern science, yes?

About of dissentry should work.

Just a bit fed up with not seeing the progress that I'd like, plus the fact that I won't be low carbing on holiday, so thinking that low fat would blend better into holiday mode.
Mainly wondering about anyone's personal experience of switching.

How much have you left to lose?

I haven't gone straight from one to the other personally but all I can say is I was starving hungry all the time on a low fat diet, but not on a low carb one.

But what works for one person doesn't work for another.

What aspect of low carbing are you struggling with? You find it limiting? There's loads of recipes in a thread over in Boot camp

Just to warn you, if you’ve low carbed for a while then go back to carbs you can cause yourself damage (liver, from memory, may be other things too).

bollocks central on this thread.

if you are in normal health it IS about in vs out. why does a holiday mean guzzling? wont you be more active?

It's not about in vs out... it's about how your body partitions that energy going in. Whether your body metabolises the energy straight away or whether your body stores it in your liver/abdomen (overweight & obesity).

Your balance of appetite hormones (insulin, leptin, ghrelin etc) affects the body's energy partitioning physiology. And that is affected by the type of diet you eat... LCHF, low fat etc etc. Not the crude overall number of calories with the amount burned in exercise subtracted.

500 calories of steak & buttery spinach =/= 500 calories of chocolate doughnuts.

Calorie is a unit of energy equivalent to raising of one gram of water by one degree celsius at sea level so if x has 500 cals and y also has 500 cals both x and y contain the same amount of energy.

Obviously if x is a donut it will be metabolised faster than y if y was a beef steak.
