Low-carb and low-cal: not created equal - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
This article offers information about "low-carb" foods out on the market - beer, candies, even bread. Back during the low-fat days, all these "low-fat" products came out on the market. One problem - people were eating low-fat but not losing weight. And that was mainly because food manufacturers replaced the fat in these foods with sugars to enhance the flavor. Many products had similar calorie value to their full-fat counterpart. There is a similar situation in the "low-carbohydrate" trend.
Bottom line is, calories do count. I personally don't believe that calories in/calories expended is that simple. I believe it's more complicated than that. On the other hand, consuming unlimited calories will make it difficult to lose weight, whether low-carbohydrate or low-fat. Read on for more information on low-carbohydrate products.
