there are nine very clear signs that

will tell you if you’re in ketosis or

not now being in ketosis is very very

important not just to lose weight but to

get rid of a lot of health problems

diseases inflammatory conditions that

someone has and the problem with testing

yourself for ketones to see if you’re in

ketosis or not is when you’re doing a

urine test for example or a breath

analyzer test they’re not very accurate

well maybe at first they might be a good

thing but as soon as you start to burn

ketones more efficiently those extra

wasted ketones are not going to show up

in your urine they’re not going to show

up in your breath but those values could

be zero so those tests are are not very

accurate now blood test is pretty

accurate but you know it’s expensive you

have to stick yourself there’s a little

pain involved but I’m going to show you

nine different signs or Clues to tell

you if you’re in ketosis or not now

number one relates a bit more to

transitioning into ketosis usually it

takes about two to three days depending

on how low your carbs are and there’s

usually three uh symptoms that a lot of

people have if they don’t do either the

B vitamin supplements or electrolytes

and sea salt because all three of these

transitional signs or symptoms can be

related to something missing in the diet

because when you do keto you need more B

vitamins and a lot of times you need

more electrolytes and that would be

number one keto flu

number two keto fatigue and number three

keto rash now if you’re doing the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet

and you’re really making sure that your

foods are nutrient dense and higher

quality the chances of you getting these

symptoms are much less versus someone

doing the dirty version of Keto which is

basically you’re just doing low carb and

you’re not paying attention to the

quality of foods and another side note

on that if you get diarrhea for example

um that usually is related to consuming

a lot more vegetables because I

recommend that you do include a good

amount of greens or Salad on this

program to get certain minerals and

certain vitamins but some people are

just not used to consuming like seven

cups or ten cups of salad per day and so

because they don’t have the microbes to

break all that fiber down they might get

diarrhea on the flip side people that

have keto breath that’s usually related

because they’re not consuming enough

greens to kind of counter some of the

the ketones that you’re breathing out

but let’s go to number two this is a big

one this is called weight loss okay

you’re going to lose weight initially

you may lose a lot of weight like 7 to

14 pounds in the first one to two weeks

now why do you lose so much weight

initially because simply the first part

of this weight loss is going to be water

weight loss when your body has been

consuming a lot of carbs with that

stored glucose you also store a lot of

water so for every gram of glucose that

you store your body stores 3 grams of

water so it’s like three times as much

water so people that do a high carb diet

are literally they’re just filled with

water when you start getting them off

carbs they dump and get rid of a lot of

water weight so the first week or even

week and a half they might lose a ton of

weight and then it comes down to like

one to two pounds loss and they’re

usually depressed at that time because

they think wow it’s not working anymore

so maybe I should go into another diet

when in fact it was working they just

didn’t realize it was water weight you

have to realize that the most fat you

could possibly burn per week is about

two pounds and that’s with a healthy

body now that’s not including a lot of

fasting that’s just going on this Keto

Plan because if you start adding more

fasting and like you’re fasting for some

days and then the weight loss goes up to

three four five or even a little bit

more weight of actual fat loss per week

but when you start losing weight

especially after the second week when

all the water is gone then you can kind

of know that you’re burning fat and the

way it’s coming off all right number

three this is a good one your clothes

are looser around your midsection this

is a really good indication that you’re

in ketosis and it’s working because

the first thing that’s going to happen

is your liver is going to start dumping

fat and when you start getting rid of

the fatty liver you also start losing

weight around your organs and that’s

called visceral fat and that’s in your

midsection so as your midsection shrinks

it’s a really good indication that it is

working which is way more important than

losing weight because of this what

you’re fixing when you’re doing the

ketogenic diet is insulin resistance and

the insulin receptor is becoming more

receptive and it’s working in one of the

functions of insulin is to help you

absorb nutrients especially amino acids

so you’re healing the body with more

proteins especially if you’re menopausal

you have atrophy that’s a good thing so

you’re getting more protein and that’s a

bit heavier per weight if you compare

that to actual fat per weight so it’s

all about getting healthy to lose weight

not lose weight to get healthy and part

of getting healthy is to be able to

absorb these nutrients and allow these

proteins to get in your body when a lot

of people start out they have insulin

resistance and they’re usually deficient

in amino acids because they can’t pull

it in so they have a hard time absorbing

protein all right that was number three

number four

energy increase why because ketones come

from fat dietary fat and your body fat

and if we take a look at the two fuel

sources we have fat in glucose we look

at the calories in fat per gram compared

to the calories in carbs per gram fat is

nine carbs are four that’s less than

half of the calories so there’s more

than twice as much energy in fat than

glucose and when you go into ketosis

you’re tapping into all this store fat

your potential energy so you get to have

that back and use that to actually get

things done versus when you’re not in

ketosis you’re running on glucose and

you’re dependent on the next meal that

you eat because you’re eating so darn

frequently and the burning of fat and

ketones are much more efficient and

cleaner fuel number five is your

cognitive function increases that’s

memory focus and attention that that’s

because ketones fix your brain they fix

the nerve cell if you have damage in

your neurons from too much sugar okay

because that basically damages the

mechanism and it kind of starves out the

neurons and this is why diabetics have a

greater incidence of dementia and

problems with a cognitive function

because of the destruction in the brain

but when you’re in ketosis these ketones

feed the brain cells directly they

bypass this damage and finally your

brain cells get fuel and your cognitive

function increases like when I am

fasting in the morning I’m really in the

hardcore ketosis and I do these videos I

have much less editing they just like I

can just go right through it very fast

versus if I eat and try to do a video

takes a lot more editing all right

number six ketones will help with

inflammation and pain why because

ketones are anti-inflammatory mole

molecules if you have any type of

inflammatory condition whether it’s an

autoimmune problem or arthritis and you

go on the ketogenic diet you’re going to

feel a lot less inflammation and that’s

a really good clue to tell if you’re in

ketosis or not all right number seven

when you eat food you are going to feel

more satisfied okay and this relates to

another thing I talked about when you

have insulin resistance you can’t absorb

as much nutrition because insulin is not

working to help transport those

nutrients into the cell

so when the cell becomes more sensitive

to insulin you are now going to absorb

more nutrients and you’re going to feel

more satisfied when you eat whereas

before you’re eating eating eating and

it’s everything is just not filling you

up and or satisfying you now it could be

the type of food that you’re eating is

is not nutrient dense but there’s also

the factor of your body absorbing the

nutrients all right number eight better

mood if you were depressed before if you

had anxiety you’re going to find that

you’re just happier you’re just going to

feel better it’s going to uplift your

mood why because there’s this thing

called brain insulin resistance okay and

you’re fixing insulin resistance in the

brain and the Brain the neurons are

getting more fuel and that greatly helps

the neurotransmitters it helps your

hormones it helps your mood I mean there

are 15 studies okay that I looked at

that all associate your mood changing

when you’re on the ketogenic diet but

the results are kind of mixed but I’ll

tell you why there mixed okay because

some of the studies are on mice and

how do you really know if that mice had

a shift in mood I mean it’s it’s kind of

difficult you can’t really compare a

mouse that’s in depression with a human

that’s in depression I think that’s a

real difficult one so just because

something is high fat doesn’t mean it’s

ketogenic diet and in some of these

studies they’re using it just a high fat

diet but the carbs are really high like

30 of the calories are carbs when it

should be like five percent of the

calories other studies they just use

ketones they don’t actually put the

person on the ketogenic diet and then

they say oh yeah see ketogenic diet

doesn’t work for for uplifting your mood

because we use ketones well taking

ketones is different than doing the

ketogenic diet all right number nine and

this is the best indicator to know that

you’re in ketosis out of all of these

and that is

no appetite you lose your appetite okay

you can go for a longer period of time

without being hungry why because your

body is finally eating fat when you’re

not eating because when you’re going

between meals you’re no longer are

dependent on the carbs your body can

actually eat the fat on your actual body

which is a New Concept for a lot of

people that are dieting and not having

an appetite makes it really easy to

stick to long term all right so now that

you have that information the next best

thing to know is what is the best

version of a ketogenic diet to start and

how do you do it and for that I put up

this video right here
