[QUOTE="catza, post: 298990, member: 41559"] Hi Gilly, I am a very low carber with lots of weight to loose. As you restrict your carbohydrate intake you obviously need to increase either your fat or protein intake. If you increase your protein then unfortunately the liver, which has the ability to convert the amino acids that are found in protein into sugar, starts to do it's job. This process is called gluconeogenesis. The knack seems to be in keeping your protein low and increasing your fat intake instead which does go against everything that has been drummed into us over the years. I was getting frustrated at not staying in Ketosis and eventually took the leap of faith and so far it seems to be working. [/QUOTE]
