Ok, I see your point and I totally agree that keeping micronutrient in balance is truly important. Your argument applies regardless of the diet, HighCarb-LowFat and LowCarb-HighFat alike. Thus I fail to understand why you felt important to mention it here…
The only point I intended to make: we all know how easy it feels to gain fat, and how hard it feels to lose it. On a HighCarb-LowFat diet, this requires a caloric deficit that leaves you energy-less, mostly hungry and will only work on the short term, getting you ready for a yo-yo-effect. It is only on a LowCarb-HighFat diet that the caloric deficit becomes easy to do, since your body can then pull from its reserves and cope with the change.
As asked by @Alpha, yes I am an engineer, and to me it makes perfect sense that the body is able to go both ways. It makes sense that it is able to pull from its fat reserves without making the fuss it used to do when I fasted while on a HighCarb-LowFat diet.
In my experience, talking to people about “Low Carb” leads to people becoming defensive, as if I was trying to take away their cupcake. Thus I don’t start by talking about limiting the carbs. Instead, I talk about what I described here above… and when my conversation partner is hooked, I can start explaining how to achieve it.
