hey guys dr. Berg here in this video

we’re going to talk about is ketosis

safe long term okay keeps coming up over

and over and over again now if you if

you take a look at what ketosis is it’s

running your body on fat fuel okay not

just dietary fat but your own fat so

versus the regular way which use your

running body on sugar or glucose now

what do you think I mean it’s just

bizarre to me that people think that

ketosis or fat burning is dangerous

compared to what what do you think

they’re burning right now sugar burning

sugar fuel sets you up for high insulin

and out of all the illnesses or the

diseases why people die heart disease

Alzheimer’s kidney problems cancer

stroke all those are related to high

insulin not ketones there’s no bad thing

about running your body and ketones it’s

actually the best fuel for the brain

your brain will run on a glucose but if

you give it if you drop the glucose down

and you run it on ketones which is the

byproduct of fat burning it’s a much

cleaner fuel it’s like running your body

on electric fuel versus sugar which is a

dirty fuel because you have the highs

and lows of the blood sugar so your

brain loves the ketones and that’s why

they use ketosis in a lot of problems

with like epileptic seizures things like

that for kids because the brain chills

out when you actually feed it that in

fact all the people that just have

better thinking concentration focus when

they go in a ketosis diet and especially

long-term okay not a short-term thing

there is no long-term negative thing

about ketosis at all okay we’ll cover

each point in fact it’s one of the

original fuels our bodies ran on fat and

the way back you know in the and the

caveman days because if you think about

sugar the introduction of sugar in the

last hundred years it’s like what a

hundred and forty nine pounds of sugar

per person consumed right now I mean

that’s insane

so sugar fuel is created more problems

than anything especially with belly fat

so essential fatty acids okay so when

you’re running your body on ketones

you’re running body on fat the fat is

not just used for fuel it’s used to

replace body parts cellular membranes

brain nerve tissue hormones are all made

from fat facile vitamins are made from

fat

there is no essential carbohydrate

hydrate that you need

there’s no essential glucose people

think that well that’s how you get

energy well you can get a lot more

energy from ketones a lot more efficient

energy what’s the number one symptom a

diabetic complains that fatigue after

eating because the the high sugar just

puts you asleep and it puts the brain to

sleep it causes Alzheimer’s it messes

with your your focus so you really don’t

need carbs now you need vegetable

carbohydrates for the vitamins minerals

and trace minerals for sure but the

actual carbohydrate in there you don’t

need okay and it’s a myth that you know

it’s dangerous and it creates a

ketogenic acidosis ketogenic acidosis is

basically a condition where your pH is

becoming more acidic from a diabetic

type one situation where you have no

more insulin you can’t regulate it

that’s completely different than doing a

ketosis diet healthily okay you’re not

going to even get close to the amount of

acids which is a byproduct if you have

any insulin at all which you which you

do have it’s not a problem so it this is

not even a factor in fact if you were a

type 1 diabetic or a type 2 this would

be the best diet to put put on because

what happens is the glucose that you’re

running on burns out the cells that make

insulin

okay next myth is the muscle loss that

you would get on a ketogenic diet

ketones do not equal muscle loss in fact

when you do ketosis within a minute

fasting you increase the very hormone

that preserves protein especially the

muscle growth hormone so in termina

fasting increases growth hormone and so

it is the ketogenic diet if you’re on

the regular glucose your diet or you

running on

bigger fuel which everyone is doing

you’re going to raise insulin and

insulin will lower growth hormone and

cause more muscle loss take a look at a

diabetic or pre-diabetic they’re losing

muscle tissue okay especially type 1

diabetics so we want to keep the insulin

low there’s another myth ketones are

dirty sugars clean now it’s just the

opposite

ketones are clean and it’s like running

your body in sugars like running your

body on diesel fuel it’s dirty

especially it gives a lot of byproducts

in the whole metabolic pathway some

people say that ketogenic diets create

deficiencies yes they do they do require

different machinery different nutrients

different B vitamins more minerals okay

but as long as you have enough

vegetables and maybe you’re adding more

minerals potassium and B vitamins you’re

totally fine I mean think about what

happens when you’re you’re running your

body on glucose you’re depleting

potassium you’re depleting magnesium and

you’re depleting B vitamins and calcium

when you eat sugar

ain’t like incredible in fact when you

have insulin resistance you don’t the

insulin doesn’t pull in the amino acid

or the potassium or the magnesium

anymore so really it’s just the opposite

glucose running about in glucose crates

weigh more deficiencies and here’s

another point about raising cholesterol

your body makes massive amounts of

cholesterol every single day for a

reason because it acts as a precursor

for hormones it acts to help repair the

tissue especially when you get older

it’s the building block for stress

hormones especially and our bodies make

the amount of cholesterol that would eat

equal one pound of that butter or 300

strips of bacon or fourteen eggs a day

so if cholesterol is so bad why does

your body make so much so it’s not true

that ketosis will increase your

cholesterol in fact what really makes

cholesterol is the sugar in that refined

glucose and the carbohydrates if you

don’t believe me go ahead and cut out

the desserts cut out the sugar for one

month recheck your cholesterol and

it’ll come right down to normal then we

have the kidney stone so people say oh

yeah the ketogenic diet creates a kidney

stones if you’re a vegan okay or you’re

running and running glucose you’re

running you’re actually having more ox

with stones guess guess what foods are

high in oxalic spinach beans grains

chocolate and any any carbs that

increase sugar or insulin will actually

increase uric acid stones so in reality

ketogenic diet will protect you the only

thing you need to do is you have to

consume some lemon juice just to start

to help you balance that out a little

bit more alright so I just wanted to

cover some key points ketosis is is the

only way to be healthy long term and I

think you should learn about it get all

the details do it healthily and add in a

minute fasting add more vegetables and I

think it’s going to you’re going to feel

better and you’re going to look better

thanks for watching
