Hello and Happy 2018!

Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek are writing some great blog posts on the science of ketogenic diets over at Virta Health. Two in particular are eye-opening and I hope you get a chance to read them:

There's an excellent post on how much time it really takes to become fully keto-adapted..

Phinney and Volek on the reality of keto-adaptation time

and

An eye-opening post on the effects of fasting and the increased risk of potentially fatal "refeeding syndrome" when one shifts from no carbs to lots of carbs in a short time (a la carb refeeding). I particularly liked this sentence:

"We also know that breaking nutritional ketosis with a lot of carbohydrate can cause dramatic fluid retention plus a shift of potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus into cells (all characteristics of refeeding syndrome). So when adding carbs to your intake, this is best done in moderation."
