My n=1 study suggests that it does. I ate high-carb low-cal low-fat diets throughout the 1980s and most of the 90s and would gain weight if I ate more than 1100 calories or cut back on my 60 minutes of exercise 7 days a week in maintenance at my ideal weight.

When I first tried Protein Power in 1999 I stuck to ~1100 cals/day for a while even though the Drs. Eades said not to. But after a few months I could maintain on ~1425. Once I ditched all grains, legumes & dairy proteins I could maintain on 1700.
