[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 333813, member: 21149"] Hi. I think your dietician has given some good advice overall particularly as you are now overweight. I might argue his point about the body burning muscle when the fat runs out. If you have a good fat intake instead of too many carbs, the body will store the resultant 'glucose' thru a more complex metabolic process than for carbs. This may not appear as body fat but will be available. As you say it's about getting a balance and tailoring it for your needs but the fact still remains that all carbs consumed are converted fairly quickly to glucose in the blood. I'm also below average BMI but still keep my carbs below around 150 mg/day. I go to gym several times a week and get plenty of energy from my other foods, but I do have protein as well as fat so it may not be so easy for a vegetarian? Anyway I hope your problem gets resolved. [/QUOTE]
