It isnt just that. The types of calories you put in, affdct the body differently. Consider uncut gas versus ethanol gas on two stroke engines, and even what e85 would do to a regular engine vs gas.
Body handles carbs, proteins and fat differently. If you ate 2500 calories of carbs, your body would deal with it a lot differently than 2500 calories of protein, or 2500 calories of fat. Right now too many people have problems because they have followed big govt advice to eat a high carb, low profein, low fat diet.
I’ve always thought this was true. When I see grossly obese people, I can’t believe that they are just lazy or gluttonous, or simply eating too many *calories*. That’s only a part of it, and it’s more WHAT they are eating, and an inability of their bodies to handle it.
My husband and I have both had success with low carb diets. If someone has a great deal of weight to lose, though, I’d suggest they talk to a doctor who advocates the low-carb diet before trying it. There may be conditions for which it’s not a good idea, or at least should be monitored carefully.

Any chance you could give us the monarch notes and simply tell us (maybe using a few examples) what to eat and not eat, and maybe a little reasoning why? Please and thanks.
Carbohydrates are the cheapest calories part of the reason for obesity in poorer cultures.
