[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2441100, member: 196898"] As I understand things, if you are doing an LC diet and cutting out the carbs, then the energy they used to supply has to be replaced. If not then our body scavenges protein from our body, rather than fat which it tends to keep as protection and as a long-term anti starvation measure. Fat already stored is b****y difficult to shift it seems. I think that taking energy from lipids is more energy-efficient than digging it out of the adipose tissue, and protein gives up without much of a fight so it is an easier target. To back this up, we burn adipose fat when we shiver from the cold, and this heat comes from the energy being used to burn the fat. To supply the energy deficit we are advised to increase fat intake so as to stop the scavenging. But upping the protein also seems to work too, but there (I believe) is a limit to how much one can push the protein without harming the kidneys. Some voices dispute that last statement and give the carnivore diet as a working example of such a limit being bunkum. However, the carnivore version of the LC diet is still in its infancy, and the jury is still out on this. [/QUOTE]
