so another question from someone that

wanted to know how do I know I’m in

ketosis okay now they were using these

little strips urine strips to detect

ketones but here’s the thing as you do

this over time your body is going to be

more efficient and you’re not going to

have ketones anymore at some point why

because your body’s using them as fuel

so our goal is not to always show

ketones in the urine the goal is to get

healthy right by doing healthy ketosis

and being very efficient in burning all

those ketones up so how do you know if

you’re getting healthy how do you really

know if you’re doing this correct how do

you know if you’re being successful the

number one thing is your cravings are

the cravings gone completely then we

know it’s working is your hunger a lot

less between meals how was your energy

is it going up then that’s that’s a

really good indicator and your waist

size okay is that shrinking very

important indicator because the other

point I want to make is that the maximum

amount of ketones you can produce in a

given day is a hundred and fifty grams

and basically that’s about less than

half of your overall fuel now you’re

only going to be burning a little bit of

glucose that you can make from the

protein you eat and even the fat that

you eat but the other fuel that you’re

going to be burning is basically fatty

acids so it’s not all just ketones

there’s a combination ketones and a lot

of fatty acids okay so you’re probably

not testing for fatty acids so the point

is that you want to focus on your health

and these are the indicators to know

that you’re doing it successfully so the

goal is not to just have excess ketones

in your urine because that doesn’t tell

the whole picture alright thanks for
