Message: <blockquote data-quote="diamondnostril" data-source="post: 812232" data-attributes="member: 63791">Hi [USER=12578]@phoenix[/USER], Thanks for your clarification. I hope my Post did not seem too antagonistic! If you are eating around 150g CHO then I think that Ketosis will not be a part of your experience (although Ketones can be easily checked for, to confirm or deny this). I think it must be other adaptive mechanisms. But of course this doesn't invalidate the experiences of those who are in Ketosis. Evolution is a clever beast, doing its best to keep us all in balance. Different mechanisms can be employed to head towards similar results. As I mentioned in earlier Posts, I alternate between Ketosis and non-Ketosis each fortnight, and my body's very different reactions to blood-sugar levels in these different states is fascinating to me. Personally, I see Ketosis as the addition of a safety net. As a T1, my primary strategy for keeping in good shape is to try my best to maintain blood-sugar levels in the normal, non-Diabetic range. But if I make a mistake and my levels drop too low, I very much appreciate the protection that Ketosis seems to offer me. In this respect I think of it like a seat-belt. When driving, my primary strategy for well-being is to not crash. But if I ever do crash, I very much want my seat-belt to be there. Regards <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Antony</blockquote>
