Notes:
I've been reading more about the ketogenic diet and I'm getting a better understanding of how it works, though I'm not quite all the way there yet. I'm a bit confused on the concept of glycogen depletion, and to what extent one needs to deplete glycogen stores before entering into a state of ketosis. Broadly, my understanding is that the ketogenic diet will have a tendency to deplete glycogen levels and as that happens, the body will naturally begin breaking down fatty acids into Ketones, which the body and brain will use for energy, rather than glucose. Assuming one is eating at a deficit, the body will begin converting stored fat into Ketones, which is how body fat (weight) is lost. I also know that high-intensity anaerobic workouts, like crossfit metcons, will have a tendency to deplete glycogen stores, which will help one enter into a ketogenic fat-burning state.
