[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1418764, member: 30007"] Sorry Big Newt, that's not strictly true. When you are keto-adapted you are burning fat in place of carbs and are not converting it to glucose. Instead you convert the fat via ketones to Acetyle-COA, which is then converted to ATP by the Krebs cycle to provide your energy. Only a small amount of glucose is synthesised in order to maintain the brain, which can also run mostly on Ketones, but requires about 30g per day of glucose, that can be obtained from various metabolic pathways.
