Which is why it's better to do a low-carb diet, so that your body is fat-adapted. Your brain works better on Ketones. It's very difficult to fast if you eat a lot of carbs.

OMG, you sound like my wife!!! You’re both probably right. Y’all shut up and leave me alone with my fried potatoes already. :-)
100%, when you really get adapted to ketosis you don’t really even notice you haven’t eaten for a day or more.
Living in ketosis is fine if you live a moderately active to sedentary lifestyle. But I’ve read from credible sources that it isn’t suitable for athletes and those who have to occasionally do power exertion or require bursts of energy. Keytones just can’t react as quickly as glucose in the blood.
That’s why distance runners almost always eat a meal of pasta or other starch before an event. It’s short term but effective energy. Ketosis is more on the slow-burn scale.
