[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1439089, member: 196898"] On LCHF I understand that we cut carbs to lower bgl and also lose glucose sourced weight, but increase the fat to put on weight. When you drop your carb levels to below your own personal carb threshold (found by testing and trial and error) then you start to burn off fat from both diet intake and also adipose fat stores, thus losing further weight. The HF in LCHF is to ensure you have enough fat to compensate replacing the glucose with ketones.as body fuel (ketosis). but if intake of fat is also too low with low bgl then the body scavenges fuel from muscles instead. Again, trial and error here and it is only necessary to up the HF if in fat burning mode. Otherwise generally fat+ carbs = added weight. [/QUOTE]
