[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1790088, member: 345386"] I'm extremely comfortable that ketones + lower blood glucose is fine. Where I am perhaps a little less clear is how our bodies react in those circumstamces with continues valoric deficits. It's the starvation/metabolism thing that I'm not so sure about. I don't fast, although having gone off yoghurt a bit, I'm pretty well skipping brekkers these days, so my eating window is relatively limited, one way or another. Bearing in mind, I'm 160/48kg this morning, I'm continually skirting the lower end of the Healthy BMI range, and this morning diiped my toe lower. That'll probably blip up again in the morning, and I do know what I have to do to get that little bit of weight back on, so I'm not verly concerned. I already have to eat a lot (average just under 2500 calories a day) to maintain so the re-feeding phase, for me could be very tiresome. When I lost a couple of kilos, post surgically a couple of years ago, it took me two months to regain it. Please don't think I'm raining on anyone's BBQ. I'm certainly not. I admire and support anyone doing this, provided they understand what they're doing and that, like all other approaches, it isn't a magic bullet. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
