BETHUMZ,
I view eating higher carb things as being a summer time thing. I view Keto as being more like a winter time diet. It doesn't turn from summer to winter in a heartbeat, but over many weeks.
Likewise your body chemistry takes time to adjust. But when it does, suddenly you aren't hungry or weak because you can more easily burn your own body fat (or dietary fat). Imagine if the human species, in winter time was hungry and weak all winter. Not only would we be miserable, we'd have less of a chance against nature and predators.
If you believe in evolution (and I do) then the human race will have evolved to overcome that during winter time. The evolution would be to burn fat more easily, not be hungry, not be weak, and to make it through the winter.
But I agree, it is pretty amazing to experience it, especially after many winters of imported summer foods that don't let the body get into its winter time (Keto) state.
