That's exactly right! That's the science behind healthy keto....good healthy fats, moderate amounts of quality protein (and sometimes those overlap), and lots of healthy greens and low carb veggies..... occasional fruit, mostly berries. It trains your body to burn fat for fuel instead of carbs. Then your body burns it's own fat.Coffee made me crazy. And I know now that the caffeine caused adrenal fatigue that made me unable to function well except while high on the caffeine (because my natural adrenal output was severely hampered and diminished by being overtaxed and stimulated by the caffeine).
Now my problem is the caffeine in Mountain Dew. Far less caffeine that I was getting from coffee, but still enough to cause anxiety, restlessness, sleeplessness, palpitations, and energy crashes. So I'm trying to cut way, way back on it for that reason, but also because I'm learning how harmful sugar is in our modern diet. I mean really harmful. I'm a geek and I was looking into the science of losing weight (I've put on a few pounds, lol) and learned how sugar has destroyed us in our modern, western society. And...are you ready for this?...fat doesn't make you fat! Carbohydrates do!
