During IF/EF, will ____ in my coffee knock me out of Ketosis?

(E.O.) #1

Here are the tests for two individuals, testing these common ideas–one in a person who identifies as being Insulin Resistant and one who is believed to be Insulin Sensitive.

excellent, I had seen that a few weeks back, I think they did a decent job of it

But aren’t the increased ketones just wasted ketones, or are you burning your own fat??

EXACTLY (my opinion).

Ketones in the blood pretty much just means you are producing them - I think you should only be concerned if darn near zero.

This kind if mico-measuring does not make sense to me - kind of letting perfect ruin good.

If coffee in the morning lets you skip breakfast but, for a few moments you dip below some magical number you think is “out of ketosis” - well, I’d stick with skipping breakfast anyway.

Same with the other way around, if you’re having 4 cups of coffee around 8 AM and it is making you hungry, the fact that you happened to stay in ketosis wouldn’t be a good reason keep having so much coffee each day.

Think of the big rocks - skip the little rocks.
