hey guys I’m back again and in this video we’re  going to talk about is ketosis more of a low carb  

diet or is it more of a high-fat diet when  you talk to people and you mention ketosis  

sometimes they freak out because oh yeah you’re  you’re in a high-fat diet you’re going to clog  

your arteries but let’s just kind of dig into  actually what makes up keep ketogenic diet or  

what puts you into ketosis it’s not the high  fat if you just went on a high-fat diet you  

wouldn’t necessarily get into ketosis it’s the  low carbohydrate because when you actually get  

rid of carbohydrates and cut it down to 5% of your  total calories you force your body to switch the  

fuel to burn more fat okay so in the absence of  insulin an absence of sugar glucose carbohydrates  

your body is then forced to burn more fat so if  you keep your carbohydrates very low you have to  

make it up with other things now if you actually  made it up with protein and had mass amounts of  

protein unfortunately that also will trigger  insulin okay so then we’re left with fat so  

when we talk about high fat we’re talking about  70 to 75% of your total calories need to be fat  

now before you freak out let’s just talk about  what that is because it’s not that much really  

so let’s just take an average of 1,800 calories  let’s say you’re on an eating plan that roughly  

is about 1,800 calories per day okay 70 to 75% of  those calories would come out to 120 grams of fat  

if we divided by three we get 40 grams of fat per  meal all right now what does that come out to is  

that a lot well let’s just take a look we combine  3/4 of an avocado which basically is 22 grams of  

fat and combined peanut butter two tablespoons  that comes out to 38 grams of fat that’s not  

that much okay like in your mind you might think  you’re eating a huge cup of lard and bacon and  

cheese and all these other things but really  you’re not let’s take a look at 1/2 a cup of  

almonds with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in  your salad that’s 46 grams of fat that’s more than  

40 grams let’s take let’s say we mix olive oil  with pecans 1/4 of a cup of pecans which is 25  

grams plus 21 grams that’s 46 grams of fat so it’s  not that much so really 70 to 75% of your total  

calories being fat grams is actually not as much  as you think ok so I just wanted to point this out  

just to give you some reality and some relative  value of what you’re dealing with but the key is  

keeping the carbs low alright thanks for watching  hi guys and hey listen I created a pretty amazing
