15% body fat.
Ketones work better for fuel.
Your brain even works better on them.
Ketones don’t work better for fuel…. The advantages of glycogen vs ketones are abundant and published literary bazillion times. Understanding how carbohydrates are important for recovery and how the basic fundamentals of the keto diet increase dietary fats by 60-80% can/will cause long acting repercussions is fundamental before recommending a diet that will cause someone to have a fucking stroke in a decade and perform like shit in life.
Your brain functions almost solely on glycogen, it doesn’t function on ketones. Again, there are a multitude of articles that support this, and the only articles that are readily available that support the opposite are chock full of bias and anecdotal evidence.

I'm trying today ... this is rough... fasting is horrible
.. I'm trying to stick to vitamins and water.
Keto actually worked for my sister and friend they both lost over 250 + lbs combined I know it works.
That’s awesome, if it works for her/you, have at it. But understand that the shit that most people spout about ketosis is garbage and read on the back label of keto supplements at GNC.
