Keto Update: Training & Fighting Fasted and Fat Adapted (Patreon)

If you are interested, start with my first article on my experiments with the keto diet:   My Keto Diet as a Muay Thai Fighter - The Mental Advantage . The above is my vlog update on how a few things are going for me. For about 3 weeks I've been measuring my blood glucose throughout the day to prepare for some possible targeted ketosis training in the future, and found some significant fluctuations, some of which may have been produced by the luteal phase of menstruation (women's blood glucose is elevated), or by "glucose sparing" (when muscles prefer fat over glucose once fat adapted, due to an change in receptors). I mostly talk about how fasting, or only very light eating, has still produced very high energy levels for me both in training and in a fight, and how in two fights now fasting after the fight for the next day seems to have helped with recovery and inflammation. 

All questions welcome in comments below. 

Once I have enough data on my glucose levels I'll be posting those in a more thorough update. Note: the benefits I'm seeing in energy levels a very likely a result of first becoming fat adapted. I would not expect them for someone who hasn't gone through the 3-4 week process first.
