Among the many eat-all-you-want-and-lose-weight diets that have been popular for a time is one that eliminates all carbohydrates but permits the consumption of all the protein and fat desired. Would such a diet be effective?
Marathon runners preparing for a race engage in "carb loading" to
maximize their carbohydrate reserves. This involves eating large
quantities of starchy foods. Why is starch preferable to candy or
sugar-rich foods?
Starch and sugar have the same number of calories per gram. However, not all vegetables are equally calorie-dense. For example, a serving of boiled sweet potato provides about 1.2 calories per gram, while a serving of kale yields only 0.3 calories per gram. What could account for the difference in the calories your body obtains from these two foods?
