I have what may seem like a strange question but, what is the difference between a normal balanced low carb diet and a low carb diet filled with meat?

Before you answer, ignore the obvious health implications. Plus, assume you are eating a reasonable similar amount of calories and not 10,000 with meat vs 2000 with a balanced diet.

Ok, from strictly a WEIGHT LOSS perspective, do you lose weight from the unbalanced diet totally ignoring vegetables and salads?

I'm just wondering why low carb is not low carb no matter what you eat. How does the body know the difference? If the body does know the difference, then is this all about low carb or all about eating veggies and greens and calorie reduction which probably happens when we eat low carb because we feel more full......Is there really any science behind this low carb? because if there is, logic would dictate that eating steaks and burgers alone would also make you lose weight.

Can someone explain how this all works?
Thanks

Yes, you would lose weight by just eating steaks and burgers in moderation but the difference is that it's not healthy for you. You need veggies to for the nutrition. I do believe that this is how Atkins got a bad rap from people making it into a meat diet and not a balanced diet with lean meats and veggies.
