>I was never really sure I was in full ketosis
Following your conversation I have a wild guess...you likely were not exercising and therein likely was.
First, I’ve never meet anyone who did some form of working out/exercising who couldn’t tell if they were in ketosis (good or bad).
If I am right, this may also explain the feeling of mental clarity therein experiences that you didn’t. Glucose is fuel for the brain, but fat isn’t...ketones are which are a by product of fat burning, so the more fat burning/ketones the more fuel for the brain.
Interesting if you both chime in on my theory.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoFrom my end: I wasn't a total couch potato, but I also definitely wasn't doing any kind of regular exercise.
- therein 8y agoFrom my end your guess adds up. I did exercise, and my body's transition to increased affinity for ketone utilization was definitely noticeable during my workouts. And indeed the mental clarity and color enhancement was more pronounced following a workout, however unlike on a normal diet, these state stayed with me all day rather than only for a few hours. > Glucose is fuel for the brain, but fat isn’t...ketones are which are a by product of fat burning, so the more fat burning/ketones the more fuel for the brain. That definitely makes sense to me and would even to a certain extent explain the difference between individual experiences with ketogenic diet.
