I am curious about any data or experience taking pure glucose (used for diabetics) to add fuel without triggering an insulin response.

After reading most of the The Ketogenic Book, I learned about this technique which I thought was quite novel. (I highly reccomedn this book to all interested ketosis dieters) We all know insulin (specialy too much of it) is our biggest enemy. Of course this is within reason. Without insulin we would be diabetic, but too much insulin by all accounts seems to be the cause of insulin resistance and hunger. (this combination seems to be the vicious one / two punch to weight gain) When insulin is plentiful in the blood stream body fat can not be released to be used for fuel, hence the reason I believe very low carb eating has lead to tremendous weight loss for me in the past.

What I want to experiment with, to lessen the burden that LC eating does to me, is to consume a good portion of my carbs in the form of glucose in small doses throughout the day and specially before and after a work out. I am hoping this will keep me in ketosis as pure glucose is the simplest form of sugar and will go directly into the cells to be burned, with no help from insulin or other enjzymes. Of course one can not take too much glucose or there would probably be some consequences. At the bear min. it would be stored in the liver as glycogen, which would end the state of Ketosis. It would be wonderful to experience continual ketosis (weight loss) while having sufficient carbs to feel very energetic, specially to fuel work outs. Of course if this works, it would make a great maintenance program also.

Any comments or suggestions about my concept would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
