okay so I have this confusion that keeps

coming up over and over and over again

so I’m just gonna create this one video

and I’ll probably just send it out to

people that ask this question what

specific food will knock them out of

ketosis so I just wanted to do a video

on the background so then you can answer

this question yourself there’s really

three scenarios that I want to kind of

cover just to kind of clear up things

because sometimes this question is mixed

in with breaking a fast because you’re

doing the ketogenic diet plus the fast

at the same time so you want to know

will this specific food break a fast

okay well anything other than water is

going to break a fast anything okay now

will vitamins break a fast well maybe

just a tiny little bit but it’s only for

a millisecond okay so I wouldn’t worry

about vitamins I wouldn’t worry about

sea salt but it true fast is just not

eating and you’re just drinking water

okay that’s it

so let’s see will a small amount of food

break a fast yes if it’s a very small

amount of salad it might break a fast

for a little tiny bit but you can get

right back on it so the point is that

you just want to think with a true fast

being nothing but water okay but

anything will break the fast but I do

recommend people consume vitamins and

minerals electrolytes for sure when

they’re doing a fast and definitely sea

salt the second scenario is will a

specific food knock me out of ketosis

well what controls whether you’re in

ketosis or Adi ketosis is the

carbohydrates okay you want to typically

keep your carbs 20 to 50 grams the worse

the metabolism the lower the carbs so

some people need to go 10 some people

need to go zero carbs okay a very good

testing kit would be the keto mojo I

like this because it measures ketones

and blood sugars okay but you can get

both to get a whole picture on what’s

going on because when you increase your

blood sugars your ketones go down if you

decrease your blood sugars your ketones

will go up so you can just kind of get a

bird’s-eye view of what’s happening

especially we are

after foods eating certain foods okay so

if you consume too much protein that can

knock you out of ketosis so but mainly

it’s the carbs okay number three this

scenario will this specific food knock

me out of fat-burning now realize that

when you do a ketogenic plan only 40

percent of your fuel is ketones the

majority of fuel the rest of fuel - a

very small amount of glucose is fatty

acids so you’re burning fatty acids in

addition to ketones but there’s really

no test that will determine that okay

and there is a test but it’s very

expensive but there’s not going to be

any tests like this you’re gonna measure

fatty acids so if you’re doing ketosis

for a long period of time and your

system is very efficient at burning

ketones you may do a urine test and find

that there’s very few ketones going on

doesn’t mean that you’re not in ketosis

it just means that you’re not wasting

into the urine you want to use these

tests with kind of judgment but what we

really want to know is will this

specific food stop me from burning my

own fat okay because the goal is to burn

your own fat because if you’re in

ketosis okay you see the ketones coming

out those ketones could be coming from

your dietary fat not necessarily your

own body fat and so you want to keep

your carbs low not continuous protein

and also not can consume too much fat so

this would really play out when you have

a very slow metabolism or you’re

plateaued let’s say you’re going through

menopause and you just you just kind of

hit this stall point well then you can

start reducing your fat and force your

body to burn its own fat another mistake

that people make is they they think in

their mind I could take exogenous

ketones these ketones you can buy as a

supplement and that’s going to help me

get get into ketosis but then they don’t

lose anyway well because you’re using

this as a substitute for burning your

own fat the more you take this the less

your body will have to burn its own fat

so it’s not just all about ketones it’s

about you actually burning your own fat

it’s about burning fatty acids and

really under

all these little pieces to this complex

puzzle anyway put your comments down

below and and tell me if this clears up

the confusion or if now you’re even more

confused than you were before I explain

this so I want to know about what you

think about this video so please comment

below and tell me what you think
