RE: VLOG 79 - Ketones & Ketosis, Fat Utilisation and a Military Super-Soldier Experiment (Lesson Time Episode 8)

in #dtubefitness7 years ago

Awesome :)

I've been in Ketosis for almost 4 years about 85% of the time. My main reason was obviously to reduce insulin injections.

I actually love adding carbs to my diet and obviously because I grew up on potatoes in Europe :D but the interesting thing happened was:

When I'm fully ketosis and didn't eat any complex carbs (only from veggies like greens, broccoli) my sugar is very stable and it will linger about 100-120 which is normal range. So I started adding carbs like a sweet potato, oats, or buckwheat every 3-5 days in portions of 50-75 grams.

From that little "supplementation" of carbs my sugar was actually lower for upcoming days I would say it would range about 80-100. (Most importantly my muscles were full :)

My theory is maybe because I train a lot, exposing my self to different types of stress I utilized them very well or because of how I was raised as well, growing up in Lithuania it was a starchy diet.

This is where my argument comes in as to why some people are better off sticking to carbs, because of their microbiome and many other factors.

Ps. I was it Ketoacidosis before I got diagnosed and it SUCKED! Worst feeling ever.

A real pro at this :) full knowledge of your own body :) Glad to hear you are able to stay full with no carbs, it can be quite hard.
