[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1597205, member: 6467"] According to my reading so far the worst place to be is if you are not mainly burning fats (in nutritional ketosis) but are eating far too few carbohydrates to fuel your body solely on carbohydrates. So if this is correct you couldn't loose weight and be healthy on the half way point. To be clear, if you just eat a few fewer carbohydrates so that you are eating slightly less than your body needs, then fat stores will be released to make up the difference. This is, of course, how we lose weight on all sorts of eating plans. My understanding is, however, that if you go really low but not quite low enough to go into nutritional ketosis then you are stuck in the twilight zone of permanent carb flu, which is not a happy place. I'm pretty sure I read this in Volek and Phinney but haven't managed to find it yet. [/QUOTE]
