so I had another question do calories

actually matter on keto let’s talk about

that the answer is yes and no not all

calories are treated equally by your

hormones the endocrine system

biochemically they’re not treated the

same I’ll go into that so it’s false

that a calorie is a calorie and all you

need to do is lower your calories and

you’re going to lose weight that is not

true

for example certain specific types of

calories trigger different hormones I’m

talking about cortisol I’m talking about

insulin growth hormone so that can have

a huge effect whether you lose weight or

you don’t lose weight just by the type

of calorie you’re consuming

carbohydrates definitely will increase

insulin insulin blocks keto protein can

also increase insulin especially if you

have it in large amounts and especially

if it’s lean protein low fat protein

interesting fat has the least effect on

insulin which means it has the least

effect of stopping your ketosis now

carbs are pretty much 100% used as fuel

in the body protein is a partial fuel

use and partial body replacement so you

need protein to replace your your

muscles your hair your nails your skin

so not all of its used for energy same

thing with fat part of it is used for

body parts like brain and nerve tissue

the cell membranes and part of it is

used for fuel so that’s a difference

right there keto is low carbohydrate

calories moderate protein calories and

higher fat calories so if you wanted to

lose weight and your metabolism is slow

and you have a thyroid problem and

you’re menopausal and you can’t sleep

and you’re under a lot of stress okay in

that situation you are going to have to

lower your fat calories we want to

increase the fat calories at first to

get your body to adapt to fat-burning to

make it easy so you can do in a minute

fasting longer

once you’re in fat-burning you want to

cut down the fat we don’t want to use

your dietary fat as fuel we want to use

your own body fat as the fuel source so

if you have too much about that could

prevent you from losing your own fat

even though you’re in ketosis okay

so we do one that lower the fat and we

do want to reduce the frequency of

eating possibly to one meal a day do it

on the gradual maybe two meals a day and

then shorten the window to four hours

and three hours and two hours and then

one hour of eating so you have now 23

hours of fasting okay that’s what you

would want to do so the question do

calories matter on keto certain calories

do with certain circumstances hey guys I

want to talk about these two books right

here okay I want to explain it this book

right here is a very short book it

explains why to do keto and how to do it

it’s filled with pictures you can get

through this in 45 minutes

real quick just very important to know

the details the basics of how to do it

now this book the new body type guide

should have been called be on keto

because I rarely find someone that has

just a weight problem they usually have

a lot of other body problems and in this

book I cover all the reasons why keto

and intermittent fasting might not work

for you we go into the body types we go

into inflammation we go into stress

hardcore and what to do about it so if

you want to maximize your results you

definitely want to get this one right

here okay so my goal is to get you to do

keto correctly and what I mean by that

is do it healthily

it’s called healthy ketosis so we can

avoid all the issues that happen with

transitioning the fat-burning keto flu

keto fatigue keto rash kidney stones

gout etc and right now on my website if
