[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2300843, member: 525839"] This doesn't make much sense. These things can be easily misunderstood. Ketogenesis is the process whereby stored fat is used for energy. It is exactly what the body needs to do to lose weight. The body only does this if adequate glucose is not available, which is why eating low very low carb (ketogenically) is an important part of the process. For a ketogenic diet to work, it has to be done properly and becoming fat adapted takes up to 6 months. For there to be weight loss, calories from other sources (protein and fat) may also need to be restricted. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, which helps especially when there is insulin resistance. Sounds like too much liver glucose is a problem. Have you tried using Metformin to help deal with it?
