> I decided to do a full “fat day” instead of making it a rice + fatty meat day, just because I assumed that it would be better in terms of swamping, rather than adding fatty beef on top of rice.

I wonder about this often. I'm usually on basically a HCLPLF diet (my wife is Asian, so this makes it easier to have shared meals than a keto diet), but sometimes I would like to have a fat day. Is separating the high-carb diet and the high-fat diet by one night's sleep enough for Randle cycle related problems? Would be nice to know.

I don't really know for sure. Bart Kay says no (not enough time). Anabology's honey diet is predicated on this working: he eats carbs in the morning/until lunch, fasts 4h (blood sugar comes down), then protein + fat for dinner. Then again, he was never obese AFAIK so maybe it's a case of "it works when you're metabolically healthy."
