[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1152459, member: 41816"] Hope you don't mind me jumping in, but my experience is a bit different. The way i look at it, the body cannot lay down fat without insulin (and cortisol, but lets not muddy the water :) ) So, if you keep the carbs low enough, you cannot gain weight even while eating a lot of fat - because you keep your insulin so low that there isnt enough floating around to lay the fat down into the cells. I think of it as a seesaw. Get the carbs low enough and you can eat LOTS of fat, and not gain. I bet, [USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER] that your current carb intake is teetering on your personal carb tolerance, in a zone where you can gain on fat. However, if you dropped your carbs lower then you could eat more fat without weight gain, because your insulin would drop proportionate to the even-lower-carbs, and you would[B][I] not be able to gain.[/I][/B] (Not suggesting you do it, since you seem happy with your current situation, but just suggesting it as a possibility) This is a working theory that i have been applying to myself for a couple of years, and it REALLY works on my body. - have no references to support it, just 2 years of varying carbs by teensy amounts, and watching my 'immunity' to fat intake vary with it. Mind you, now i come to think about it, there was that guy who ate huge amounts of just meat and fat - and didnt gain. 5000 cals, i think per day. Then he repeated the experiment with 5000 carb calories and ballooned like a whale. All about the insulin, you see. Can anyone remember the guy's name? [/QUOTE]
