In this article about protein a few claims are made that seem counter productive

If you want to lose weight you need to burn endogenous ketones - less dietary fat in other words. But consequenlty you’ll have low energy (how low it doesn’t say). Is this really a good thing? it sounds like starvation mode. But he says this is where the health benefits come from.

If you want high energy you need lots of ketones in the blood provided from exogenous ketones (food and supplements - ie fat). BUt then you don’t lose weight.

Is this right?

Energy in this context is not energetic but is calories.
Energy from food.

Marty is saying if you eat too much fat you won’t burn as much of yours that day/meal.

It’s next to impossible to follow all this, and there are so many sources making claims.

This really put me on the right track. It is a three part series, with lots of good links to other information.
What you really want to be is a fat adapted not in ketosis. And I have found Marty’s information to very helpful, his food lists are great guidelines for anyone.

Re-read the article knowing low energy is not less energetic but less fat (energy).
