How often per day did you eat and did you measure your keto levels?

Thing is that if you over-do it and have too high keto-levels, you can get poisoned by it and that certainly have a high level of stress on the body. (The old man points this out in your video)

Also, if you don't eat often enough, you may not trigger insulin and thus won't get hungry at all and get to little calories (thus dropping in weight).

You mean using a breathalyzer? I did not find them to be very consistent.

They're not, it's better to use keto-sticks, which you urinate on. That's what i use.

I found them to be unreliable, too. The colors would go dark when switching into ketosis, and then while in ketosis revert back, as the body adapts its keton body production and the urine levels would go down again. Which I guess isn't "unreliable", just doesn't tell you that much.

The brain likes keto because of betahydroxybutyrate, though it's the only organ to require glucose (not a problem in keto as we have gluconeogenesis from fat and proteins)

You know what likes keto even more? Your heart. There are studies and research of fatty acids being able to reverse heart disease, and them being incredibly more efficient fuels than glucose is. N=1 placebo, but I certainly feel my heart (in an overweight body) pumping better and with less effort 1+ weeks into very low carb.

Adaptation takes a while because our mitochondria are dysfunctional due to standard diets being so high in glucose. Fatty acids are the better fuel for muscles, and mitochondria in general.
