[QUOTE="rmz80, post: 1681269, member: 306547"] My understanding of LCHF diets such as Atkins is that your body switches to an alternative energy source i.e. body fat (not the fat in any meal) when your carb intake falls below a threshold which I believe is 20 grams a day to start with Atkins. Above this threshold and your body will continue to use carbs. At this stage you have to decide whether to go for an LCHF or a low cal diet. Both have their own advantages. PS Sugar is just another type of carb [/QUOTE]
