Sorry to totally hijack your welcome thread muscle hacker.

One interesting thing I found out the other day which I wasn't aware of was this:

Low carbing and high fat places your body into ketosis where you burn fat.

Yet the metabolic pathways for converting carbs to fat are virtually non existant, the body needs fat in order to store fat.

I quite like 'keto' diets - althought to be honest I can stick to any diet fairly well - as I tend to feel fresh on a morning.

But its looking more and more as though carb cycling as Paul described, and as I have done previously (although I've had zero carb days as part of the cycle) is the best long term method for dieting IMHO.

Just need RazG to continue explaining exactly what happens now so I fully understand whats going on.
