[RBW] Re: Ketogenics: long rides during the first couple weeks

Alan, one of the things that happens with intermittent fasting (eating within an 8 hour or less each day) is that your body does dip into being ketogenic and it learns how to burn fat and then handle carbs when they come in moderate amounts. Also, leafy greens don't count as carb, as the carbs
