[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2365527, member: 480869"] And here in lies the paradox with current thinking. Weight loss comes with USING more energy that you take in. As type 2 we cannot USE the carbs we take in due to insulin resistance so they sit there til doing nothing useful they turn to body fat and harmful deposits. We [I]can[/I] use the fat we take in however. And as it has more calories per gram than carbs we actually need less of it in comparison and it keeps use full for longer gram for gram. keto is not so much about high fat once adapted and fat burning, but avoiding low fat replacements and benefiting from the natural fats that come with natural proteins. The last 50 yrs of low fat mantra simply makes a normal fat intake look high. Higher fats are useful whilst changing from being a glucose driven animal to a flexible or ketone burning mammal.
