[QUOTE="fergus, post: 22761, member: 6150"] Hi Jem, Weight loss is definitely one of the many advantages of low-carb. As you might have read elsewhere on the forum, insulin is regarded as the main fat-building hormone. Also, when insulin levels are high, glucagon production is disabled so that fat burning can't take place. Only when insulin levels are low does glucagon get to work enabling fat stores to be burned. The ketogenic state thing is rather overstated by those who are sceptical about low-carb. Ketosis is a perfectly natural and healthy state, essential if we are to burn fat. Low-carb ticks all these boxes - low insulin levels and efficient fat burning. I can vouch for it personally having been 4 stones heavier 7 years ago! :shock: All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
