How does a workout affect glucose n ketone level

Whatever diet plan one is on, we all know that exercise works hand in hand together. Nothing is easy in this world, you gotta work like shit to get to that slim figure you want. If only dieting can help, gyms can close down their businesses. 

Likewise in a ketogenic diet, a workout affects the blood glucose and ketone levels

How is ketone developed?

Ketones develop in our bodies when we mobilize fat as fuel. Fat is an important energy source that is used by the body at rest and during exercise. Ketones are a general term in medicine used to describe the three main ketone bodies that the liver produces – acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone.

So the million dollar question, is exercise on a keto diet a necessity to be successful in keto?

Dr Berg answers this question well in his video Is Exercise on Keto Diet a Must for Keto Success? 

YES!!

Yes! The mentally straining work is finally all done. Tour booked for Antelope canyon. Apparently I found out that we can't do self tour on a navajo land, so I managed to book a tour with a company. Bought Disneyland tickets. 

All research done. Damn! Those are really hard work. All the late nights, plus I lose concentration, I get distracted easily. I deserve a good rest after this, a good whole 7hrs sleep.

I was excited when I did the final last binding for lil' one's travel journal today. 

Itinery planning was completed 6 days ago on 21st Nov. And then I concentrated on her travel journal. Infact, her journal at one point was done concurrently with the itinery planning, so that's why I have lesser things to research. But when I get so distracted with something that I had read, I'll go into into youtube videos (thank goodness we have the internet to help us now). I ended up spending half an hour watching videos on navajo nation, their cultures etc..

Yay! I'm all done! Not bad, not bad. It's more than a month after we bought our tickets. I had initially set a targetted date for myself to complete everything in 5 weeks. So I'm late, but it's ok coz I always buffer some time with the final final target date.  

I can finally concentrate on the cooking of meals (a silly me suggested that we should do a self quarantine 2 weeks before our flights, so as not to sabotage our PCR test. So home quarantine started 2 days ago on 25th Nov.)

Did I mention that I arranged for all tutors to start zoom lessons as well, so I have no visitors. Which is good, otherwise I'm always lugging the laptop and printer to and fro when I have tutors coming into the house. It's really sad, I can't use the study table in the master bedroom as the man needs to work. I always end up either at the dining table or in lil' one's room on the floor when she's having tuition outside. 

I can also start packing our luggage and at the same time get the ironing done. I haven't ironed for 3 weeks, so I have a huge pile of clothes piling up in the laundry bag. Sigh..... when you're a one woman show, need to set priority. Not to mention my walk-in-wardrobe is a total mess with stuffs I need to pack into luggage.
