[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 40321, member: 1338"] Actually Hana, I think we are both right to some degree. Certainly the body can use ketones instead of carbs, but ketones are the by-product of burning fat so the body can only do this provided its fat reserves are constantly replenished, otherwise the well simply runs dry - no fat, no ketones. Plus of course continuing ketosis in a body that has depleted fat reserves can result in ketoacidosis. Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose by the liver from its reserves of stored glycogen, not the production of carbohydrate. And the primary source of glycogen is from the carbohydrate that we eat. By reducing the amount of carbs that we eat we are also reducing the liver's source of raw material from which to produce glucose. [/QUOTE]
