Exercise on keto / carnivore diet

Is there a point when my body will get used to it or will I always have to supplement with carbs?

I've found it takes 2/3weeks to really be able to push through on a hard work out.

My body does exceptionally well on low carb/keto. Not everyone is the same.

once you become adapted you will be fine

I'm about 3 weeks into ket/exercise. I haven't had this problem but from day 1 I started going to bed much earlier.

Dr Joe Mercola , who has a big interest in exercise physiology has changed his recommendation on keto . He says only do the diet for say 3 months or so , then add back carbs .He now eats potatoes or rice or fruit for carbs . My husband and I tried keto . I became extremely fatigued in the afternoon . I had made myself nutritionally hypothyroid . In order to make the active form of thyroid hormone , you need glycogen in the liver , which you get from carbs . My thyroid function normallized when I added back good carbs . My husband got uric acid kidney stones and constipated on the keto diet . So , only do keto for brief periods of time .
