Does this mean we ought to fast more than we do?

Keto diet is about extremely limiting carbohydrates so that the body switches to an alternative form of energy, ketones. I would think this would be mean we should practice carb limiting — not necessarily all out fasting — but Mk has previously come out in favor of fasting and would be interested to hear his take.

They're probably both great ideas... cutting carbs is a good idea in general (for most Americans) with an occasional fast to lock in some rejuvenating goodness. (but talk to a doctor/nutritionist, etc. - not this fat guy)
