[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1153296, member: 196898"] I am having real difficulty with this. Googling LCHF and weight brings up loads of complaints of not being able to lose weight, or of plateauing. But virtually nothing on how to put on weight. I know I read somewhere that excess lipids get stored in the adipose tissue as body fat, but I have read many learned and geeky treatises on how LDL gets used in the cell for energy, but not how trigs get stored except in the blood andthings called adipocytes. I have seen a diagram of one, but no description except that it is a specialist fat cell. The boffins see to be shying away from this. Even Sikaris seems to gloss over it. But I did read a well described process in one of them, but I cannot find it, This question is one I raised when I started LCHF. I still cannot answer it, Maybe it is as you say, LCHF reduces insulin resistance to the point where the limited carbs and protein is enough to get lipids stored. But if you go VLC ketosis then the glucose gets vacuumed up and theres nothing left for trig manufacture. One thing I did find is that lipids are very sensitive to Leptin, rather than insulin. and leptin deficiency disorder may be linked to obesity. (From a nutrition body builder health blog). The following article is close to the one I remember, and is a description of how the adipose system is used, Its a bit heavy, but it seems to back up the other research I did, which was when I was looking at sdLDL problems. No mention of Leptin though. [URL]http://www.sportsci.org/encyc/adipose/adipose.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
