“I have tried atkins several times one time losing 47 pounds. Putting it back on and binging at the end.”

One of the problems noted with diets relying upon carbohydrates and protein to provide glucose for nutirition is the hunger and cravings associated with the swings in blood glucose.

Nutritional ketosis, on te other hand, does not result in the large swings in blood sugars associated with a metabolism reliant upon glucose for its primary fuel. Instead, the blood sugars remain very stable, which results in long periods of time where the hunger and cravings are not so acute as they are with glucose. This satiety makes it much easier to be satisfied with smaller meals throughout much of the day. Endurance athletes are discovering the benefits of using ketones to replace glucose and glucogen for fuel, because the body’s fats supply ketones for fuel long after the body’s supplies of glucose have been exhausted.
