“if you don't have enough fat to burn to make enough ketones and the brain is saying all right well I wanted to switch to ketones so that I could spare the glucose but I can't there's not enough ketones here so I have to rely 100% on glucose but if you're not eating glucose now the body has to start stripping the protein from muscle and it sends those amino acids to the liver then the liver is so capable it will turn those Amino acids into glucose so it turns my muscle into glucose to feed the brain”
