What are the purported benefits of fat adaptation?

Fat adaptation, the long-term metabolic adjustment to ketosis, is said to have several benefits.

When an individual is fat adapted, their body becomes efficient at burning fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Proponents of fat adaptation claim that this leads to:

• decreased cravings

• increased energy levels

• improved sleep

In this state, the release of insulin, a hormone that stops fat burning, is reduced, allowing the body to access stored fat for energy. This metabolic flexibility can be beneficial for weight management and overall health.

It is important to note that these are purported benefits, and more research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of fat adaptation on the body.
