Over the last twenty or so years, I’ve tried to keep a watchful eye on my intake and exercise.
From my observations, my calorific intake and expenditure doesn’t balance with the bodyfat I lose or gain.
There must be something chemical going on dependent on my food combinations.
To lose quickly ( up to 2lb per week, 1.25% bodyfat ), I eat my bran and fig biscuits, with any amount of eggs, plain rice, plain pasta, baked potatoes and lean meat.
If I swap out 500 kCals from this list for a bar of chocolate, I do not lose.
If I eat products ( like cake, chocolate or sweets ) with refined carbs, I HAVE TO do the extra exercise to burn off a theoretic double the calorific values.
Now please some diet expert, explain this.
And IF an expert wants to supply an answer, I'm NOT paying money for it
