KETONES are a better fuel source for the brain than glucose....and it never runs out.

I've been doing a diet of approx 15% carbs, 20% protein and 65% fat.

The meal I eat the most consists of 75g of grass fed ground beef,1 large egg, 30g cooked sweet potato, 70g avocado and 1tsp avocado oil. I cook the beef add the egg towards the end then add it to a bowl of avocado and sweet potato. That meal is about 15grams of carbs, 20 grams protein, 35 grams of fat and 475 calories.

I'm still cutting body fat  so I don't go above 2000 calories per day.

I was doing 5% carbs but I seemed to be overeating protein foods without realizing.

I'm down from 238 to 196 lbs in one year.

Exactly.  Eat too much protein and you never go into ketosis.  The excess protein gets converted to glucose.

In my experience ketosis is not necessary to lose fat, just as long as you are avoiding foods that cause insulin triggers.

For the last 4 weeks I've had no carbs Monday-Saturday.  Sunday is carb day, but strictly managed with no binge eating.  It works very well... no cardio either.

you can trigger insulin all you like in a calorific deficit, it doesn't matter.

If this is the case, why aren't they the brain's default source? And only are used when glucose isn't available?

Insulin seems to have a magic quality of being able to create something out of nothing.
