so I want to answer the question when

our ketones actually dangerous

okay well there is a condition called

ketoacidosis where your blood becomes

too acidic but that is only going to

occur when you’re a diabetic type 1

because insulin not only controls blood

sugars but it controls the ketone levels

too because when you reduce insulin you

will your body will start making ketones

as its primary fuel and if you have zero

insulin like nothing coming out of the

pancreas

then the ketones can be in excessive to

the point where your blood becomes

acidic and that is the danger and if

that ever happens you have to alkalize

the body pretty fast but that is not

going to happen to the average person

that is not a diabetic type 1 normally

people will start doing a low carb and

they’ll be at 0.5 that’s half of a

ketone and then it goes from 1 to 2 to 3

as they maybe add more exercise and then

add intermittent fasting so with working

with a lot of people in my clinic have

never seen someone over 7 okay and the

danger cut up point is 10 or above if

you’re below 10 you are ok ok so over 10

it’s a situation but that’s going to be

very rare and you’re gonna have to be a

diabetic type 1 to even be worried about

this right here but for everyone else

you do not have to worry about this now

if you’re doing in a minute fasting and

for a long periods of time let’s say 3

days your body will start using your

muscle protein at about 4 ounces of your

own muscles per day so that’s why we

recommend low carb moderate amount of

protein ok each day moderate protein

between 3 to 6 ounces don’t go days

without some protein so again most

likely your ketones are going to be

right around through here and if you add

these things it’s gonna go a little bit

higher but you’re not going to go above

10 so if you do get in this upper range

right here just get with your doctor and

make sure that they do adjustments on

your insulin because you’re probably

going to need a little bit more insulin

to prevent this from occurring thanks

for watching

hey if you like helping people as much
