Completely removing glucose (carbohydrates) from the diet can lead to metabolic inflexibility.

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

“So the idea of metabolic flexibility is that our body can re react to whatever fuel is available, right? So we can oxidize the fuel based off of fuel availability. And so that requires a lot of cross talk between the body and metabolic disorders are really a function of this metabolic inflexibility, but we want to make sure we don't cause that by completely removing one of the metabolic substrates, which is glucose, carbohydrates.”
“to me this indicates metabolic inflexibility which is it's not the goal of any of this so if our body now is inflexible to using glucose and it takes three days to retrain it how to use glucose that concerns me a little bit”
