The fast itself will help with being in ketosis so by keeping low carb on a fast day it extends the period of ketosis.
If you also keep to a lowish carb diet on non-fast days there seems to be some indications from our questionnaire results that it helps with weightloss.
You don't have to be in ketosis for a lower carb intake to be helpful in terms of reducing glucose and insulin levels. By keeping insulin under control you get a host of health benefits!
Thanks for that - very helpful!
