In what way are hormones depleted after long term LC? Does he mention any research on this?

I'm trying, with my limited knowledge of biochemistry, to figure out how this could work.

For me, I couldn't do it as designed, because eating grains leads to pain for me--my joints know when I've had them, and at this point, it's in undetected amounts, because I'm very careful.

It seems to me, because the body so readily switches to burning sugar for energy, that, if you give it a ton of sugar over 8 hours, that it'll use what it can, then shove, with the usual efficiency of insulin, the rest into the fat cells. Going immediately back to LCHF, there are then "fresh" fatty acids and triglycerides to pull from the fat cells once ketosis kicks back in.

For many of us, it would NOT be a sustainable WOE, as the one in 10 carb night would slowly but surely become an every night occurrence, just as it used to be.
