My weight has stabilized over the past 7-10 days because I've increased low glycemic carbs. I knew I was no longer in ketosis but the fact I'm no longer losing even though I'm still running a daily calorie deficit tells me (a) I am, as I suspected, very sensitive to glucose, meaning there's an insulin problem and (b) Calorie In, Calorie Out is meaningless for my body. It is working for my wife, though...she is keeping her calories at 1500 daily and is watching starch/sugars but not nearly to the point of entering ketosis. Yet she's dropped 7 pounds in about a month...of CICO of careful carbs, but not low carb. I actually envy her a bit.
So this only supports what I've always said: low carb is a must for some people (like me), but not for others (like my wife) for whom CICO apparently works.
