I already answered you. Becoming adequately fat adapted takes a long time, up to two years. In that time, the person become fat adapted loses all unnecessary fat.
So a properly fat adapted person cannot be fat.

This is my understanding of being fat adapted. Never heard what you’re saying before. At what point does someone become fat adapted? What percentage of body fat? Because you can’t get rid of all the fat on your body. Your claim doesn’t make sense.
I said all necessary fat. You won’t see a person who has been strict carnivore for 2 years still being fat. They will have body fat, but be a normal weight. The body will reach an optimum.
Google AI is pretty retarded. I’ve learned about these things listening to doctors and physiologists speak for many hours.
Becoming fat adapted is a process. The body has to learn how to harvest energy from fat and create its own glucose / glycogen. At the beginning of the transition, the body is very bad at it. But if the change in fuel sources persists, the body has to figure it out. And it takes a long time to reach full efficiency.
If the body has no more glucose/carbs for energy then it switches to fat for energy. It doesn’t take two years to become efficient at that.
Agree to disagree here.
A person who isn’t fat adapted just sitting on the couch on a regular day will essentially burn zero fat. In a starvation scenario they would, yes. But people who aren’t fat adapted struggle terribly in starvation because their bodies are not good at converting fat to energy.
I’ve been watching that show I Shouldn’t be Alive a lot and most episodes the people who survived go many days or sometimes multiple weeks without food. None of them are fat adapted so they get very weak quickly and struggle to do that fat to glucose/glycogen conversion efficiently.
Properly fat adapted people can fast easily for many days with no energy issues. The difference is poor fat adaption vs proper fat adaptation.
It’s like a 2% efficiency vs 99%.
