BTW, living in a state of ketosis is not sustainable long term. Fat cells become insulin resistant because usually there's too much fat and the insulin can't penetrate. Pancreas gets exhausted trying to make insulin.

How do the Eskimo's and extreme northern european/Russians do it for so long?
Eskimos survive on seal , fish, and whale . Not a lot of carbs growing on the tundra .
Hah, you got me. I suppose if you consider the elements (wind, snow ice etc.) the limited food sources (fat protein) and the absolute gargantuan efforts required to survive in that kind of world, then a fat and protein diet is probably the only diet that could sustain a human. Back in the '20's they did a quasi-documentary called "Nanook of the North".
