For every 10% less carbs someone eats after losing weight, their body burns about 52 extra calories a day — like adding a short walk to their daily routine.

After losing weight, people who eat very little carbs burn about 190 more calories per day than those who eat a lot of carbs, even when they’re eating the same amount of food and not exercising more.
