But here’s the CRITICAL point. You can only get energy from one or the other, but not both at the same time.

Last but not least, the objective is to keep insulin low.


I wonder if that's why my waking has changed. I used to quote from Theodore Roethke's poem to explain how difficult it was for me to wake up: "I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow." But now my eyes pop open by 6 am & I can't stay in bed. I don't eat after 2-3 pm, so my fasting time is longer than it used to be.
