Wondering what all the metabolic flexibility talk is about? How many carbs can you eat and still be in ketosis? Ali and Becki discuss the potential benefits of adding carbs to your keto, why you shouldn't be carb-phobic and how keto is evolving and changing. Learn about how you can expand your diet beyond the rigidity of tight keto and why this might be supportive of hormones, body composition, metabolism and beyond! Metabolic flexibility is possible for individuals that can regulate stress, have good muscle tone, and are active. They can have a larger range of carb intake and maintain ketone production. We also discuss 4 foods groups that can not only provide food freedom and make keto feel more sustainable, they can also have some real benefits when it comes to the microbiome, nutrient density and diversity, and hormone regulation. Learn how to listen to your body's feedback can help you determine your carb threshold and get a refresher on why we (still) hate non-caloric sweeteners and why real food ALWAYS wins.
