I wanted to produce a quick hit video on the topic on if it is possible to overeat or said in other words even gain weight while following a ketogenic low carb diet. The short answer is yes. If you eat an Old 96er (from Great Outdoors fame), every night you will absolutely gain weight on this diet. The short term effects are typically that the body will pass the excess fat and food through the system, but as one increases fat intake, two things usually happens. The negative one is protein consumption also typically increases to excess levels, and protein can be converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis. The second one is positive; appetite suppression of ketosis kicks and tells the body and the brain to stop eating. This appetite suppression happens with greater instinct than say if you were over-eating breadsticks at Olive Garden. Imagine John Candy in the referred movie, how much do you think he wanted to eat ounce number 20 or 30, let alone the ounce 96. (6 pounds of meat) His body was telling it’s enough long before he finished the steak. As one increases their carbs in OWL or Maintenance phase, these signals become less pronounced, so the danger of over-eating becomes more likely. However starting out on the diet, trust your body. If your body says food sounds good to eat, eat something legal. It will tell you to stop,
