so i wanted to create this video to really emphasize this one point

that does come up quite often and it has to do with

what puts you into ketosis some people think

that it’s taking more fat they think oh my gosh i’m not in ketosis do i need to

consume more fat no you don’t to get into ketosis you

need to lower your carbohydrates this is

the key right here lower your carbohydrates why

because that affects insulin when you eat carbs you

turn on more insulin and that blocks ketosis when you turn it off and you

lower your carbs lower amounts of insulin you go into

ketosis ketosis is all about

lowering your carbohydrates and to get yourself into ketosis it’s not about

consuming more protein it’s not a high protein diet

it’s a moderate amount of protein you don’t want to go

lean though you don’t want to do lean proteins why

because the leaner the protein especially whey protein which actually

has like hardly no fat at all you’re going to spike insulin

more so you have carbohydrates that trigger

insulin but lean protein will also trigger insulin

so on the insulin scale the very very top

and the insulin scale has to do with non-carbohydrate

foods that trigger insulin you have the glycemic index which is

how a carbohydrate influences blood sugars

and then you have the insulin index which are the non-carbohydrate

influences of insulin and the leaner the protein the more low-fat protein the

higher the insulin spike and when we talk about fat fat really

has a almost a neutral effect on insulin now

the fact that you’re consuming fat and has some calories can raise

insulin a little bit but it has the least effect over insulin

and not to over emphasize this point enough

to get into ketosis you just need to keep your insulin low

by keeping your carbs low and not do lean protein

you want to make sure you consume the protein with with the fat that it

normally comes with why do we need dietary fat when you’re

in ketosis a couple reasons number one you’re going

to be able to fast longer especially in the beginning when

you get into ketosis and you’re trying to do intermittent

fasting it’s very very important to go longer and longer and longer if

you’re doing a lower amount of fat you’re going to be hungry you’re not

going to be satisfied and it’s going to be very difficult to go longer periods

of time so a real key thing is just to beef up your

fat at the meal to go to fast longer

and the longer you fast the more you get into ketosis the easier it’s going to be

also there’s a lot of nutrients in fat you have omega-3 fatty acids

you have all the fat-soluble vitamins you have other essential fats that your body

needs also fat is necessary to stimulate bile

production the cholesterol and fat that you eat are

necessary to also build all your cell membranes

your brain tissue your nerve tissue a lot of your body is made out of fat

so you need fat a good amount of your hormones are actually made out of fat

especially the sex hormones also fat helps to

slow the absorption of the protein you eat

there’s a lot of people that do keto in intermittent fasting that don’t need to

lose weight like myself and by consuming more fat

it’s a way to maintain your weight because

if you start doing low carb moderate protein and low fat

you’re going to lose more weight so it’s a good way to

maintain your weight because your body is going to use the dietary

fat calories for ketones and not your own

fat to convert into ketones all right there you have
