I am a relatively new practitioner of the paleolithic diet with a few questions.
Shortly after eliminating breakfast cereals and bread from my diet, my head got
foggy and I noticed a fruity taste in my mouth that reminded me of something
I've experienced when a fever breaks. I'm assuming this is ketosis.
Is ketosis commonly experienced when one adopts a paleolithic diet, or should
I be making a greater effort to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my
diet? If ketosis is a common feature of a paleolithic diet, does one adapt to
it? This foggy feeling and difficulty concentrating is getting old.
Also, I'm an avid strength trainer. I had always believed that carbohydrates
were the preferred fuel source during intense exercise. If I'm in ketosis, I'd
assume that I wouldn't have sufficient carbohydrates for to-failure weight
training, which is apparently the rationale for the carb up period in a CKD. I
have not, however, noticed any degradation in my weight training despite not
"carbing up". Why would this be?
