Thank you, This Keto Forum is great, but I think the people who mostly come to the forum are wanting to lose weight, but you and I are in a unique position that we want to reap the same benefits of keto & fasting but don’t have enough fat, or our bodies are doing everything it can to preserve what fat we have remaining. Shockingly I don’t feel hungry, and I would rather not be stuck eating 3 meals a day or even 2, I was far more productive eating OMAD, but I fear skipping a meal because I may get sick.
I totally agree with you about the flexibility theory, I remember hearing from somewhere that animals that hibernate actually undergo metabolic syndrome during the summer to gain weight for the winter. I think something similar would happen with our ancestors - gain weight during the summer because of the overabundance of fruit and root vegetable that would make the insulin levels go up, and during the winter, only eat meat and keep insulin down.
