Isnt it obvious, Keto in the cold months and carbs in the hot months. Eating seasonally is key and you cant chase much or do much exercise in the dead of winter with snow and ice lying around. Its also why the Inuits have a keto diet and can survive the extreme cold.
- omnimus 7y agoBut healthy keto is lot of veggies no? So winter keto is harder wouldnt it make sense eat carbs in winter?
- rtyuiop 7y agoNo, ketogenic diets are mainly fats and protein. Ketosis is the burning of fats which happens when you water only fast. You can live on a diet which is 100% fat, you cant live on a 100% protein diet or a 100% carb diet. Its also why the body stores excess energy in what ever form it was eaten in, as fat. Periodic water only fasting is also the balance to todays modern lifestyles where we have so much food to choose from. Water only fasting, not only starves bacterial colonies in the body, it also helps to starve viruses and parts of the immune system become more effective than during the times when we can eat. The main known risk of water only fasting is diabetic ketoacidosis. The eight teaspoons of sugar in a can of coke can reduce the hormone Testosterone in young teenage males by 25% within 2hours. The study only concentrated on Testosterone, but it would be interesting to find any studies, if they exist in the public domain, that shows what other effects sugar has on hormone levels, besides insulin and its increased risk of diabetes.
