Hypothetical Question:
There are two dieting diabetics very similar in health history, each eating only 20 carbs a day, without cheating. Subject A controls portions, eats moderate amounts of healthy fats. Subject B eats larger portions, and a much greater amount of healthy fats. But they both only eat 20 carbs a day. Will these two people be in a similar state of ketosis? Will the larger amount of food, and especially fats have an effect on the rate that Subject B loses weight? Does the difference in the amount of calories they have eaten figure into this equation at all? I haven't seen anything in the readings about this issue, and my friend and I would like to know! If you control your carbs carefully, can you overeat with impunity?
