Hey Evan! Based on what you wrote, you don’t need a paragraph from me. You got it. Discipline may be the issue? In a given day how much sugar, flour, and other carbs are you getting? You know you’re reaching a point of your body being effecient at burning fat (which can take a while to heal back to after a high carb diet, I noticed several shifts at roughly 3mo, 9mo, 18mo) when you discover you’ve gone 24+ hours without eating anything and in that same time biked for 4+ hours and never bonked. Fat burning isn’t an all or nothing prospect though. There are basically three levels of “low carb” diets, the high and low end being the ones to be in. Ketogenic essentially eliminates all carbs (except leafy greens), and the liver converts protein to the small amount of glucose the body requires. The body converts fat into ketones for fuel, including for the brain, which functions better on ketones for a variety of reasons, which is why a ketogenic diet is great for anyone with neurological issues. The upper end of low carb involves eating 2-4 fistfulls of healthy carbs (potatoes, yams, white rice, etc.), not entering ketogenic, but providing for the body’s basic glucose needs directly through diet. Between those two is no man’s land ... too many carbs to trigger ketogenic systems, too few to provide for the body’s needs, so a lot of effort to feel horrible. Grin.
Hopefully that helps a wee bit? With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
