Hello there.
I am female 5ft 2 and weigh 117lb.
I have been on strict Atkins diet for 3 weeks and lost 8lb. I have also put on lean muscle. I put on muscle very quickly. I am not trying to lose weight it's just coming off. I am trying to stay the same weight and lose a bit of fat.
I bought some Indian Sweets yesterday. They are heavy and contain butter, gram flour, sugar, nuts, dates and so on.
I ate maybe 350 grams of sweets today after not eating carbohydrates for 3 weeks except berries- I don't feel hungry again a few hours after eating them. I am finding myself mentally alert can breath better and on the ball again with lots of energy. It feels like my body was starved of glucose and that it has been "sucked" into my body like a vaccuum.
If you have very low glycogen levels in your body on a Keto diet what happens when you suddenly eat heavy sweets/cakes?
Do you put on fat in the same way you would if you are on a normal diet or does something different happen because your body is used to burning keytones?
Can I switch between carbohydrates and keto and still burn fat?
