[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 267101, member: 15235"] Thanks to everyone who replied to this. The issue as I understand it with cortisol is that at least in some people, no matter how many calories you eat, the lack of carbs and the resulting need for the body to make glucose is perceived as a stress and can create elevated cortisol, which can make it hard to lose body fat and create sleep disruptions. My sleep was definitely harmed when I went too low-carb. Perhaps more time would resolve the problem, but the impact of going in and out of ketosis has always been one of the issues with pure keto and the impact on my workouts motivated me to go back to being lowish carb but not pure keto. If I remember correctly, it is chemically easier for the body to convert protein to glucose than to convert fat to glucose, so perhaps that is why carnivore people don't seem to run into this issue as much as the more traditional keto people.
