so a lot of times I’ll get feedback from

people that have this idea that your

body especially your brain can only run

on glucose right that’s the primary fuel

that is absolutely not true

you can run your body on ketones and

other types of fuel so ketones generally

will provide about 40 to 70 percent of

the fuel in the body so then the

question is what other fuel is going to

make up the difference because if

ketones are only providing 40 percent

what else we’re going to run our body on

well there’s always going to be a small

amount of glucose but your body can run

on something called fatty acids so the

fat will turn into ketones and fatty

acids okay so you can still use that a

small amount of something called lactate

but also glucose so what the brain is a

little bit different because you could

run 70% of the brain on ketones and the

rest is going to be either lactate or

glucose okay so the question is where

are you going to get the glucose if you

don’t want to do carbohydrates well your

body can make glucose and that process

is called gluco neo Genesis the making

of new glucose where does it get it from

fat and protein so certain amino acids

can turn into glucose and also certain

fractions of fat can turn into glycerol

which will then convert into glucose so

that’s really where you’re getting your

glucose from so the body might need 36

grams of glucose per day it can easily

get it from fat or amino acids

you don’t need carbohydrates to supply

this glucose so in summary when you

lower your carbohydrates you want to run

your body on mostly ketones and fatty

acids some lactate and some glucose but

originating from fat and amino acids not

carbohydrates

so we’ve been getting a lot of success
