Ht. 5'8", Wt. 175 - ok guys, i learned this in biology class but its sort of interesting, it might be a little long but bear with me. For energy, your body burns carbohydrates, then when it runs out of that fat, then protein. So, in order to lose weight you should limit your intake of both carbohydrates and fats, but not so much that for energy you go into burning your protein stores. This is because when your burning your protein for energy, you basically eating your own muscle, heart, etc, and thats starvation mode. Also, burning protein produces a toxic waste product. Also, when you lose weight, you might not notice that many pounds gone on a scale very fast at first, because when you get rid of fat in your fat cells, the expect at first that they'll have to be filled with fat again, so they just fill up with water to keep full. Which is what water weight is basically, so eventually the fat cells will realize theres no more fat coming to them and theyll get rid of the water and you'll notice more weight dropped on the scale... anyway i thought that was interesting
