While I’m far from an expert, I think if you go from breakfast until midnight without eating anything you will go into ketosis if you are keto-adapted, and if you are not, you will be in extreme discomfort.
That actually depends. In my case (n = 1) if I stop eating while NOT being keto-adapted, after some period of time I will feel physically weak and mentally slow for a while. That’s my blood sugar crashing, but subjectively it just feels as being weak and slow, not “extreme discomfort” at all. I don’t normally get serious pangs of hunger.
I don’t think I’m typical in this respect, but I would be surprised to learn that I’m only one in a thousand or so.
Why would he be in ketosis? If he isn’t eating low carb on his non-fasting days he should have an ample supply of glycogen, right?
