- The reasoning behind carb cycling contains a fundamental error: performance drops during keto transition reflect incomplete adaptation, not a limitation of fat metabolism. — Why Carb Cycling Undermines Ketogenic Adaptation
- Carb cycling perpetually resets the keto adaptation clock, trapping the person in a state where they experience the drawbacks of both metabolisms without the full benefits of either. — Why Carb Cycling Undermines Ketogenic Adaptation
- Reverting from fat-burning to sugar-burning is very fast — a single carb-loading event is sufficient to exit ketosis. — Why Carb Cycling Undermines Ketogenic Adaptation
- The most common motivation for carb cycling is restoring performance during the difficult transition from sugar-burning to fat-burning. — Why Carb Cycling Undermines Ketogenic Adaptation
- Carb cycling is least harmful only in fully keto-adapted individuals with no insulin resistance, but even then it is argued to be unnecessary. — Why Carb Cycling Undermines Ketogenic Adaptation
