It's funny how people will react when I suggest they fast for 24-48 hours to get into nutritional ketosis quickly.
Usually, it's met with such fear that it takes a lot of discussion and weeks of education before they will even try a 10-12 hour fast.
Once they try one fast they see it's not that hard and we can finally start down the path of changing them from a sugar burner to a fat burner giving them that metabolic flexibility.
It's so true - if we just look to how our ancestors ate - and this can even be as recently as our grandparents or great-grandparents (low fat was not a thing then)- we can see a population that didn't suffer from the same rates of obesity and chronic illness we have now.
Great series @kiwideb! Looking forward to the next installment.

Yes, even 30 years ago, in the 80s, there were no fat people. So that suggests to me that we still had a level of metabolic flexibility. Or at least, were not overeating to anywhere near the same extent. But the 80s was when the low fat craze really kicked in, and it's been downhill from there :-(
