Some of us do significantly better running on ketones.I have a suspicion that one thing that gives low carbing a bad rap is when your carb input is high enough to switch you back and forth between glucose and ketone metabolismCheck out this and the more recent thread<a href="http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/low-carb-diets/why-is-low-carb-harder-the-second-time-around/" target="_blank">http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/low- ... me-around/</a></blockquote>
