Many posters on low-carb boards say that they are now wearing smaller sizes at a higher weight, maybe it is that they have lost fat which takes up more space then the muscle they might have replaced it with?
Elizellen, I think you're right my Dear. I agree with your findings and I sure appreciate you posting it here, because I didn't want to feel as if I'm suffering from wishful thinking . It makes perfect sense.

Yes, I do believe the reason we're different is because of how women were designed to hold more fat while pregnant in case food runs low her body would feed off of itself of the fat. Come to think of it our ancestors consumed a lot of meat (protein) and fats, thus they were leaner. Just a thought.
