A body that's working properly is in ketosis most of the time, and enters this mode, its normal mode, very easily.
Intermittent fasting is about letting the body be like this, as it naturally would. That's why meals are time-boxed to a small window within the day: To let it fast during the rest of the day.
The more frequently a person eats, the less likely his body is to enter ketosis. Until it becomes unable to; it just gets hungry every few hours instead, where the person just feeds and perpetuates the cycle of not entering ketosis.
- sneak 2y agoThe naturalistic fallacy doesn’t explain away the simple fact that when I haven’t eaten for 12 hours I’m slow and stupid and hangry. You can invoke “working properly” and “naturally” but I think my body is working properly when I can code, and isn’t when I can’t, and unless I’m keto-adapted (48-72h since carbs) I can’t without blood sugar.
