I think you can't avoid it, because glycogen depletion is part of the point of these diets. When glycogen is depleted, all tissues must maximize their use of fat. I have read (somewhere) that after a while on lowcarb, the liver compensates by increasing its ability to make and store glycogen, and this may be part of the reason why many have trouble losing weight a second time on lowcarb (if they went off and regained).
