You are mistaken. The human body produces ketones from fat, which are then used by a lot of cells.

The remaining cells, like the brain, need glucose, which is produced from glycogen stores.

If you don't have glycogen stores because you're low carbing, the glucose is made from amino acids using Gluconeogenesis instead.

it causes your body to store even more fat in that area if you regularly deprive your body of carbs.

Um, where did you get that idea from ?

Look it up. I’m REALLY tired of having to do this to PROVE that your LIVER produces glucose when your dietary intake is insufficient. When your liver does this, it produces an excess of glucose, which is then stored as fats around your liver and intestines.

Simply type “Liver produces glucose” in google search. it should provide a wiki pedia link which will give you the medical terms
