When first starting down my path to Intermittent Fasting and a Ketogenic lifestyle I wasn’t quite sure about the science behind it and honestly, there wasn’t much information out there to reassure me I wasn’t going to kill myself by eating fat and fasting periodically. Now I know more, test my blood levels regularly and know what makes me perform and feel the best (right where the star is!)
Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek have outlined in detail the concepts of Ketones and Nutritional Ketosis on the Virta Health Website. If you are a science geek like me, I highly recommend reading the post!
