Gluconeogenesis.

But if you are exceptionally stressed, yes cortisol levels have negative physiological effects on muscle mass and you accumulate fat patterns along the lines of Cushing's syndrome.

I think he may have meant along the lines of starvation diet rather than just taking out carbs on a low carb/ketogenic isocaloric diet.
