Your body can produce carbs on their own without having to eat them.

And the Keto diet is not just meat, most Keto proponents will tell you that you must eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, and too much meat is too much protein, which will contribute to Insulin Resistance.

“Your body can produce carbs on their own without having to eat them.”

The body can convert fat or protein to glycogen, which is the simple sugar we run on.

But it does so slowly, and you have limited storage for what it does convert.

Once those stores are depleted, you bonk.

That’s why it’s very, very difficult...if not impossible...to sustain any sport or fitness program on a keto diet.
