[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1152747, member: 41816"] This is the reason that I feel counting carb g is often misleading. There is a vast difference between eating 16g carbs as white bread, and 16g carbs as green beans. It is digested differently, is processed differently, releases glucose differently... the comparison becomes meaningless. We use is as a handy label, but any T1 knows that they risk hypoing if they switch to low carb and continue to inject simply based on carb grams. They have to time the insulin differently, and sometimes spread the dose. Their body has very different insulin requirements when keto. The same applies for T2s, the difference being that we have no measure of insulin units to measure it. Also remember that he is young, fit, active and non diabetic (much lower IR). His muscle mass will be pulling sucking in any stray glucose very easily (mopping it up) while remaining fat adapted and keto (I prefer the phrase fat adapted, because it allows for dual fuel usage if the glucose is around to use). And his personal carb threshold will be dramatically different from you or I. More muscle. More activity. So yes, I think with his level of activity he was in ketosis. He MUST have been well below his personal carb threshold, or he would have gained. Its been a long time since I watched those videos, so I can't remember if he measured insulin, but that protein/fat diet will have minimised his insulin level to the point he doesn't gain weight - for his body - as shown, which was my original point. Did you watch the second video on there - when he eats 5000 cal of carbs. I need to watch that one again too. :D [/QUOTE]
