>Anecdotally, I've never heard anybody complaining about insulin spikes in their continuous glucose monitor from eating carrots.

I never used a blood glucose monitor, but I did use ketone test strips and small amounts of shredded carrots added to a spinach salad would have pretty significant impact on my detectable ketone levels.

I was often surprised by things that knocked me out of ketosis. For example normal serving sizes of whey or casein protein powders (<1g of carbs/no sugar)could.

I’m not hating on carrots or demonizing them, just for my purposes I avoid them and other foods that knocked me out of ketosis or consistently had significant impacts on my detectable ketone levels.
