On a high fat, low carb diet

Thanks for the info, I found 2 weeks ago, that I have a hard time of
burning fats... versus carbs
during training or maybe something else was going on (there was has been a change in my workouts from morning to evening too)... but I started eating 75g or so of carbs at night (with same training intensity,, mostly aerobic with 2 days of «speed») the following week my energy levels were back to normal... not sure I do so well in ketogenic state or perhaps I wasn't as balanced as I should have been (carb, protein, fat) or my body just isn't acclimitized to those things yet (
ketosis)... working on it though...

burn) may also take a while to reboot.
