No, you can't store glycogen, if I understood the book correctly. That is the whole point of the diet.

Your diet seems to be working for you, probably because you burn up all the carbs with your daily exercise. I would hesitate to recommend a change because you have something that is working.

I cannot do much more exercise than walking, because I have a bad knee. Also, I had found it increasingly difficult to drop weight, which is why I am trying this. I need to get my weight down because of blood pressure and because of my bad knee.

Thanks. Yeah, I am locked into equalibrium basically burning what I consume (my weight doesn't vary much now week to week). I know so many people that have had success with Adkins which is great. Most of them have added some form of exercise which I understand Adkins recommends. I am interested if there comes a point where the low carb intake affects energy consumption after an hour or 2 of moderate to high intensity effort.
