today I want to talk about certain

indicators or signs that you need to

change the ketogenic diet so let’s go

through these if you’re feeling more

tired or weaker when you start the

ketogenic plan

something’s not right and we are going

to discuss what to do if that happens

but fatigue and weakness are one of the

indicators number two if you happen to

notice that you’re looking older like

let’s say your hair is drying out or

your skin looks more wrinkled there’s a

problem something needs to change if you

start feeling heart palpitations right

that’s not good obviously whatever

you’re doing needs to be looked at if

you are still hungry then there’s a

problem and especially if you’re not

seeing results with your weight chances

are you probably need to change

something too and lastly if you start

developing kidney stones or even maybe

more inflammation then you’re not on the

right program so what is the ketogenic

plan the ketogenic diet is merely the

reduction of carbohydrates the reduction

of carbohydrates by itself

is not necessarily something that

increases or creates Health that would

be like saying

the reduction of poison will make you

healthier well no it prevents disease

but it doesn’t necessarily build or

create health

so the lowering of carbs will prevent a

lot of problems like diabetes a fatty

liver being overweight etc etc but the

question is if you’re lowering carbs

what are you replacing it with and what

are those calories doing to your health

so the ketogenic diet is about replacing

your fuel from glucose to

fat and ketones but generally speaking

the ketogenic diet doesn’t talk about

the quality of your carbs proteins and

fats and this is why I recommend the

healthy ketogenic diet so this goes

beyond just lowering your carbs to five

percent and keeping your proteins at 20

percent and having your fats at 75

percent so let’s just start with what

happens when you start running your body

on ketones you actually generate more

energy ATP ATP is like the storage

currency of energy in your body and

there’s definitely a difference if you

run your body on glucose uh you generate

like about 8.7 kilograms of ATP and then

in ketones you generate 10.5 kilograms

of ATP so we got 8.7 to 10.5 so ketones

give you more energy and that energy is

more efficient there’s less waste but

here’s the thing when you go on the

ketogenic plan

the demand for certain nutrients goes up

that’s very important to know because if

you don’t eat more of certain things or

take certain nutrients you could end up

with some side effects whether that’s

keto fatigue keto rash keto flu whatever

so the two general categories of

nutrition that you need to increase more

of B vitamins okay and electrolytes

couple points on B vitamins I would

really try to make sure that you do the

Natural Bees and you can get that from

nutritional yeast unfortified you can

get pretty much all the electrolytes if

you have enough salad in your diet 7 to

10 cups or if you do electrolyte powder

make sure it doesn’t have hidden sugars

and make sure it has

good amount of potassium and other

electrolytes as well and let’s not

forget

sodium chloride are two additional

electrolytes like salt

so if you’re not consuming enough salt

on the ketogenic diet you’re going to

feel weak so we want to make sure we add

more sea salt when you’re on the

ketogenic plan very important in fact

you need more sea salt on the ketogenic

plan than you do on a high carb diet on

the high carb diet you tend to retain

sodium chloride but on keto you tend to

kind of get rid of it so if you don’t

have enough of it you’re going to

generally feel weak your muscles are

going to be weak especially when you

exercise the next point about this topic

is making sure that you eat foods that

are more nutrient dense okay because a

good portion of the population is

deficient especially in zinc vitamin D

iron iodine and even vitamin A here are

some foods generally speaking that you

should be eating more of

Pastor raised eggs eating eggs from

chickens that roam around on the grass

that will give you a lot of nutrients

especially the vitamin A it gives you

the trace minerals that you need like

zinc copper iodine manganese very

important grass-fed grass-finished beef

these animal Meats give you the

bioavailable nutrients that you need

like the best source of iron the best

source of zinc the active form of

vitamin A versus trying to get those

nutrients from plants like for example

Walnut has the precursor to the omega-3

DHA but very little bit of it gets

converted kale has a lot of pre-vitamin

a as beta-carotene but very little gets

converted to retinol the active form if

you were to do occasional organ Meats

like liver that would be really good not

only do you need these animal products

like Meat and Fish seafood but you also

need to make sure that they’re organic

organic food in itself does have more

nutrition for sure

but it’s also the avoidance of

pesticides insecticides herbicides

fungicides while caught versus farm

raised is very important and then

grass-fed versus grain fed is very

important but as a side note vitamin D

is really hard to get from your food so

either get it from the Sun or take it as

a supplement if you do that as a

maintenance dosage I would recommend

roughly about 10 000 IUS

it might sound like a lot but it’s not

if you’re a little fearful of taking

that much you should watch the video

Down Below on that later but vitamin D

is not really a vitamin it’s like a

hormone it goes right into the the

nucleus of the cell and it

connects with certain genes like over 3

000 different genes so it’s involved in

so many different body problems and the

next point is making sure that your

omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is correct this

is going to avoid a lot of problems with

inflammation and brain health and all

the conditions that come with

inflammation autoimmune problems

arthritis Etc because omega-3 and

omega-6 are fats okay and the ketogenic

diet tends to be higher in fat some

people don’t differentiate the type of

fat that you need to avoid and the type

of fat that you need to eat more because

if you’re going a low carb diet and you

just start increasing more soy oil or

corn oil or Canola or cottonseed boy are

you going to have problems but the

typical ratio of Omega-3 to omega-6

on average is like 1 to 16 to sometimes

one to forty really heavy on the omega-6

especially in children

this is setting them up for a lot of

issues with the liver and even insulin

resistance which creates a whole host of

other issues you see both of these two

different types of fats use the same

enzymes to convert them from the

inactive to the active and so that means

that they both compete with each other

so if you start consuming more cod liver

oil or fish oils right but at the same

time you’re doing the regular salad

dressing and some of the other foods

with high omega-6 fats then those

omega-3 won’t go in because they’re

competitive The receptors are competing

because they use the same enzymes you’re

going to have to avoid the omega-6 and

take more of the three and the best

source of Omega-3 hands down is fatty

fish like salmon wild caught salmon you

can do sardines you can do halibut

there’s other types of fish as well and

even grass-fed beef as a good source

versus the grain fed chicken which is

the worst Source because you’re going to

get a lot of omega-6 and not enough

omega-3 but the same thing with beef

like grain fed beef where that grain is

used to fatten the cattle to

make the meat more marbleized with fat

not good that’s not a healthy source of

protein all right the next point I want

to bring up are all these

keto approved products that you see

online at the grocery store you’re

seeing more and more of this it’s kind

of like the healthy version of junk food

I mean it’s definitely better than junk

food but probably not by much now some

of them are good but you have to read

the ingredients and make sure that those

ingredients don’t include gluten

maltodextrin

dextrin

corn

fiber also the tapioca fiber these are

all ingredients that are unnatural and

we don’t want these in our bodies and

the other thing too is there’s a lot of

like sweets and cookies and things that

are made with sugar alcohols and I just

want to warn you when you start to get

into that you’re going to find that you

might have a lot of bloating and gas and

diarrhea from that so I’m just letting

you know up front so those should be

consumed smaller amounts and if you do

have these sugar alcohols definitely

avoid the one called maltitol because

multitol is in a lot of the sugar-free

candies for diabetics boy that has the

on the glycemic index it’s pretty darn

high it’s the highest of all of them

it’s very very sweet it tastes just like

sugar and from my viewpoint it’s pretty

close to Sugar it’s best if you avoid

these snacks that people are promoting

these keto approved snacks and maybe you

can make your own so you can control

what you put in them

and maybe they’re okay to take initially

as your transition but ideally you

should just eat real food and not have

to rely on those I highly recommend you

include intermittent fasting

with this healthy version of the

ketogenic diet because

um if you start having these snacks

between the meals or you’re eating

frequent meals

you’re not going to see the results

especially with weight loss because

every time you eat you spike insulin a

lot of people have told me oh I’ve tried

the ketogenic diet but they have not

added in the intermittent fasting with

it which is so important because what

we’re trying to do

with the ketogenic diet is correct

insulin resistance and you can’t correct

it if you’re eating all these snacks and

you’re eating three meals a day

so you want to go to two meals a day and

maybe even for some of you just one meal

a day initially I did not understand the

magnitude or the importance of doing

intermittent fasting I thought it was a

trivial thing but when I started looking

into it and I did it myself oh my

goodness does it produce some serious

benefits to your body

our bodies were not designed to eat so

frequently and when you start

restricting food all sorts of things

start getting better especially if

you’re trying to lose weight the next

one is doing the dirty version of Keto

okay some people do this and they say oh

it’s it really works yeah it would work

if you’re just changing your fuel but if

you’re going to a fast food

restaurant and you just order the burger

without the bun

um you know I can see that uh helping

you in in a pinch definitely do that but

don’t do that on a regular basis because

the quality of those foods and what’s in

those Foods is not that great and so

these conventional Foods despite being

low carb have a lot of things in them

that you probably shouldn’t be eating

like pesticides insecticides herbicides

fungicides preservatives GMO type foods

traces of a herbicide called glyphosate

which can act as an antibiotic in our

guts I mean even like the traditional

artificial sweeteners are keto friendly

it’s low carb but there’s a lot of other

issues with them so if you’re going to

do dirty keto just don’t make a habit of

it and by the way dirty keto is

basically

um going low carb but not focusing on

the quality of the ingredients and one

more point that I failed to mention when

I talked about the

omega-3 to omega-6 ratios I didn’t tell

you what those should be well that

should be a one to one ratio so the next

point is when you buy vegetables from

the grocery store okay

mainly you’re going to get vegetables

that are either grown hydroponically

or aeroponically which basically means

you’re growing

um these greens in water with some

minerals like 15 minerals or they’re

spraying water on the roots okay or you

might find vegetables that are grown in

California

um that are grown on soil but the

minerals that they add back into the

soil are usually like three potassium

phosphorus and nitrogen so I just want

to let you know there’s a huge

difference between just using you know

three to Fifteen minerals whether in

water and in soil and growing food or

vegetables or any type of salad on real

healthy fertile soil there is a big

difference of course when you look this

up it’ll say oh yeah they’re the same

really so in other words what you’re

telling me is that you can grow

vegetables in water with 15 minerals and

have the same nutrition really so I did

this in my basement and I had these

beautiful tomato plants

the tomatoes were completely tasteless

yes they might have certain vitamins and

minerals but they definitely don’t have

the quantity of

phytonutrients the chemicals the flavor

chemicals and other protective

phytonutrients that are really important

not to mention the soil based vegetables

have microbes that are growing in to the

plant itself did you realize that one

cup of vegetables contains over a

hundred million

microbes if it’s grown on soil so that’s

like a probiotic and so this is a very

under uh researched area but you know

consuming vegetables from your garden or

vegetables from the farmer’s market wow

this is probably why kids don’t like

vegetables they’re they’re getting the

hydroponic vegetables they’re just kind

of tasteless I’ve grown them in my

greenhouse and the texture doesn’t come

out right The Taste doesn’t come out

right so right now I’m trying to sell

those aeroponic units if you know anyone

that wants to buy them I’m getting rid

of them I’m convinced that the soil

based vegetables are the best for you

and this is something you can actually

create Health with because you’re all

these microbes greatly enhance the

immune system of that plant the nutrient

absorption of that plant and I’m not

just talking about vitamins and minerals

I’m talking about all the other

phytonutrients that are in those plants

like even carotenoids for example

carotenoids that’s a type of

phytonutrient and there’s 600 different

types of carotenoids and one leafy green

vegetable I mean that’s just one but

you’re talking about thousands of others

so you can’t create those different

beneficial chemicals

from water in 15 minerals like they use

in hydroponic the other point I want to

bring up is that if you consume

vegetables like I recommend seven to ten

cups of salad

or lesser amounts of regular vegetables

and you get bloating because you have

inflammation in your gut you might do

better on a carnivore type ketogenic

diet but again there’s a right way to do

it as well you have to find out how to

do that healthily not just have you know

a chicken breast all day long but do

like from nose to tail right you’re

doing bone marrow you’re doing organ

Meats things like that Seafood eggs

things like that just realize generally

speaking the worse off your digestive

system is the more you need to do maybe

cooked vegetables or fermented

vegetables like sauerkraut kimchi things

like that pickles versus just Raw

it takes a bit of a healthy digestive

system to digest the raw vegetables

but the raw vegetables give you actually

more nutrition for sure and as a side

note to that if you have a tendency to

get kidney stones do you want to avoid

spinach you want to avoid almonds and

almond butter you want to avoid kiwis

strawberries

chocolate even if it’s keto friendly and

you want to drink a sufficient amount of

water to keep the

urine from Super concentrating into the

stone so at least two and a half liters

of fluid per day if you follow the

information in this video it’ll keep you

out of trouble you’ll get the benefit of

the ketogenic diet but of course it’s

doing the healthy version of the

ketogenic diet now you need the details

of how to do it and for that you should
