What? I have to burn calories?!?

Please don't think I'm ignorant saying this, but I thought ketosis was
the only thing that burns fat in this diet!!! I thought you didn't
have to exercise on this diet either!! I don't have the energy right
now to exercise!!! Now I also have to burn calories like I'm on some
low fat diet when in actuality I'm on a high fat diet? Someone set me
straight!!!

Calories don't burn, they are utilized for energy. HTH

Give the LC way of eating a week or so, and you'll be surprised how
much more energy you have. You don't have to go out and train for a
marathon...just move. Walk. Stretch. Do Pilates. Do a little more
each day. I'm in a wheelchair, and I do as much Yoga and Pilates as
I'm capable. The exercise doesn't just help burn the fat, but it
helps tones the muscle...you'll want that when the weight starts
coming off.

Exercise helps but it isn't critical. Once you get through induction you
will also find that low carb eating reduces your appetite and provides
calorie control that way.

Exercise does so much more than burn fat. The benefits from exercise are
imcalculable. I lost 20 pounds on Atkins without exercise. Then I started to
excercise and my entire outlook on life changed. I'm so much more aware. I
feel so much better than I've ever felt in my life. Daily stress doesn't
kill me anymore. My blood pressure is dropping and I'm losing weigt faster
than before. I can also eat more carbs because my body can handle it. You
don't have to do it but I can't emphasize it more.

We all want a miracle diet. No one wants to work for weight loss.
And then people ask why their loss eventually stalls.

I have talked to people who have done Atkins and didn't exercise. It worked
for them.

I exercise. It is just plain physics, a body in motion tends to stay in
motion. Give your self a week or two at curves and see how good you feel
after that second week. I was all tired when I got home that first week, now
if I have time, I do an hour instead of the half hour workout. My house gets
cleaner faster, and I now find time for hobbies all because I started
moving, and don't want to stop.

You don't have to exercise to lose weight. In fact, in my experience,
exercise alone without changing what I ate resulted in only 1 pound of
weight loss in a month. IMO it is a lot harder to lose weight by exercise
than by cutting back calories.

However, there are other benefits to exercise besides weight loss, and it
does consume more calories than being sedentary, so you can eat a bit more
than you could otherwise and still lose weight.
