Combining intermittent fasting with a ketogenic diet is the biological equivalent of pouring rocket fuel on your body’s fat-burning engines. By driving insulin to basal levels during your fast and keeping net carbohydrates strictly under 25 grams per day during your feeding window, you enter uninterrupted nutritional ketosis, eradicating hunger and brain fog.
