Answer:

There is a difference between a "low carb" and a "no carb" diet. A "no carb diet" makes that the body eats up the stored sugars which are in the form of fat, as a means to give the body the missing sugars , as a result from no carbs but the key is that this only happens when the body senses absolutely no sugar (carb) intake . A "low carb diet" just minimizes the amount of sugars being stored as fat and the weight loss is just a result of normal daily activity burning the fats that are stored being that less is being stored , as fat gets burned it is not being replenished resulting in weight loss
