[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1513327, member: 402985"] I was listening to the Radio this evening and they were talking about some science around the brain getting smaller (in mice) when they went deaf. The story was suggesting that the brain like most of the other body parts had a use it or lose it biology. And I know that is so on muscle, and even limbs. Could the same be said for the pancreas? I follow a very low carb diet as many do here and am enjoying the results greatly and intend to stick to it. But does anyone think that in order to not become less and less tolerant of carbs, they may need to be re-introduced from time to time in moderation? I guess if your intention is to be so low carb (as near to zero as is reasonable) then this might not apply - but if you wanted to maintain somewhere between 50 & 10 a day perhaps a few more do you think you need to keep reminding the body? I know many will post you do not need carbs and I get that - but I like veg, I like nuts and one way or another a few trickle in. Thoughts welcomed. [/QUOTE]
