[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1515402, member: 402985"] Thanks for that [USER=93179]@Robbity[/USER] very helpful. I am not an expert on these things - but I don't think your brain can run on fat and ketones it can only run on Glucose which your liver produces from stored sources. I think it is the only organ in the human body that needs glucose. I completely agree with your points. My post (which others have explained why I need not worry) was that I have seen people on low carb going lower and lower. And my exact point was yours really - I don't want to eat carbs, but I do want to eat vegetables, some berries, cream - all in super moderation but I didn't want to get to the stage where I would be unable to do so. But I am saved apparently by protein which gives the pancreas something to do when carbs are too low. [/QUOTE]
