Long term ketosis and how fat changes over time

[Jeremiahs40]

God’s blessings to all my ketonian family… I have a question that I’ve been thinking about today after discussing about how we literally turn or bodies into fat burners… My question is. After cycling long term nutritional ketosis and both intermittent/extended fasting, won’t your body eventually catch up to a point where all your endogenous fat from years past are used up and then the good fats you Incorporated from this diet are present which will burn much more clean energy such as coconut oil, Omega oil from fish, avacado oil, fat from grass fed meats or dairy.

You question reminded me of this post from Richard from this thread:

KCKO: Patience pays off

So some science to go along with your story … fat cells live roughly 10 years, and any single year about 10% of our fat cells die from old age and release their contents into circulation and their job gets taken over by a brand new baby fat cell. Those nascent cells never knew the bad days of when they had to live in obese bodies so they are a lot better at responding to signals than the ones that they replaced.

Eventually after 5 years half your fat cells are newbies, and half are the old ones that are still cranky about what we did to them.

This is my secret. I am outliving the cranky ones. Keeping calm and ketoing on.

Thanks for sharing that Carina that’s some interesting science. Had no idea!
