No. You are hungry, not necessarily for carb or protein or fat, you're just hungry. If you wait long enough, your body will switch to burn body fat.
- therein 8y agoWhat I meant by that was this: Even after knowing that my body has switched to primarily using ketones via Ketone Measurement Strips used on urine daily, I would find myself wanting to eat something, but once I realized all I had at home that I could eat was food full of fat and protein but not carbs, my craving would disappear or I would become disinterested. And even after eating, I could still feel that it didn't hit the right spot at satisfying my cravings. I would be really full, and really full of energy-dense food but I would still be dreaming of a slice of bread or even a sip of lemonade next to whatever dish I am eating. I realized what I craved wasn't food but that spike in blood sugar.
