If it was that simple Nutri_Nut, I would have been less of me for many years. I had done low cal for months, and it was just not that simple. What Ailah did and wrote hits all the major points:
* exercise
* eating right - both from not overeating and missing the hidden carbs and processed foods
* drinking right (more water)

Good job!

I beg to differ.

She said this herself:

"Counted my calories and MADE SURE I burnt 500 more than I consumed. No exceptions."

She exercised and cut out other foods (artificial sweetners, Atkins bars). In other words, she reduced intake and burned more calories (through exercise).

I didn't use to believe this, but now I do: low carb means reduced calorie intake.
