Caffeine raises ketones even with high-carb breakfast
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2016 11:41 am
This was an interesting article -- perhaps this has something to do with why I was seeing ketones up in the 0.4 - 0.6mmol range between breakfast and dinner while still eating upwards of 200 grams of total carbs / d with IF. I have noticed that dinner usually sees worse glucose disposal / insulin sensitivity.

"This is an observation which would suggest that the breakfast coffee could be even more useful for ketogenic dieters who are intermittently fasting, as it would give them a headstart into full-blown ketosis in the time between breakfast and dinner. The observation that caffeine enhances lipolysis and increases blood FFA levels, which in turn provide substrates for ketogenesis ad thus stimulate safe and mild ketonemia in healthy adults to a ketone level twice that seen after an overnight fast, has the authors speculate that regular caffeine consumption may be linked to the decreased risk of developing late-life cognitive decline, as it was observed by Panza, et al. only recently in what is one of the latest reviews on this topic, if not primarily, then at least also because of its effect on ketogenesis."
