It's not just the calories, but the effects of sugar on your metabolism, and where how it (sugar) is stored. Something to do with a glycemic index, blah, blah, blah. (I went to an endocrinologist -- and I'm nearly certain I've spelled that wrong.)
All I know is I couldn't do any exercise (well, very little) and I've lost 17 pounds. (I had been flirting with an all-time non-pregnancy high -- eek!!) The doctor's diet kicks ass (it kicked my ass right off - ha.)
