I'll be interested to follow your journey to being fat-adapted. I'm an advocate of heart rate training but still learning about fat adaption. What prompted you to start the journey?

Hi, Dan! Great questions. I plan on posting about running and nutrition including why I started running, how to start running since I did it wrong, running tips I've discovered, my crazy running challenges for myself, my move to being fat adaptive (why, how it impacts my running, what I did wrong, etc.) So I'll be answering most of that in long form over the next few months/years.
I've been bumping into it for a few of years. I started HR training in 2014 and had heard about the crazies who do ketosis with it. As it turns out, they really do go hand-in-hand. I've been reading a friend's book The Vitality Secret which details benefits of a ketogenic lifestyle (I hate the word diet) and the harm of grains. It got me tinkering with my diet. I've been helping my brother get into shape first going to the gym with him and hopefully I can get him to fix his diet. Somehow from that and thinking that he should do this here I am... going full keto!
I haven't been keeping a log and don't even know how many days in I am. I do know that the worst of the Keto Flu was Friday to Monday with mental clarity starting on Tuesday. I've pretty much fasted today because I was running around and forgot and don't have the horrible sugar crash that always comes with not eating on a regular schedule. So I guess I'm there or pretty close.
Please keep asking questions and making comments. I chose Steemit because of the community and know interaction is the only thing that will keep me writing.
Wow! As a coach I'm always interested to hear about other people's approaches so I look forward to reading more from you.
