you know it’s really really important uh  when you start keto to have the correct  

estimation of what it’s going to take to do keto  and what to expect because if you’re going into  

keto with some idea that you’re going to lose a  certain amount of weight or you’re going to be  

fully fat adapted at this amount of time when it’s  really a lot longer it can set you up for a lot of  

frustration and you may even quit so in this video  i want to give you a more realistic time frame of  

really what it takes to become fat adapted now  the big goal of keto is to go from sugar burning  

to burning fat in past videos i’ve always  mentioned this three days okay it takes three days  

that is the start of burning ketones but you’re  definitely not going to be fully fat adapted  

within three days it’s just not going  to happen especially if we add on  

all the other variables age menopause history  of having a slow metabolism history of consuming  

a lot of carbohydrates a more realistic  time frame would be between 4 to 12 weeks  

yes not days but weeks in fact for most  people it really is gonna start on the fourth  

week your body body’s finally adapted to fat and  you’re starting to burn fat this also explains why  

most people will lose weight between the first  and second week that’s mainly water loss okay and  

then they may lose a pound the following week and  they’re thinking wow it’s not working when it is  

working because this mechanism this transformation  of your body creating a new machine to burn fat  

just takes a bit of time so i really want  to shift your expectations to between  

4 and 12 weeks now with athletes like professional  athletes could take 12 months why because they’re  

pushing every single cell in their body and they  have to be able to tap into that fat and use it  

as energy as quickly as possible now how do  you know if you’re fat adapted well number one  

ask yourself can you exercise while  you’re fasting with no dip in energy  

number two can you go a long period of  time without being hungry you don’t feel  

like you need to take a nap after you eat  lunch you can hold your urine through the  

entire night without having to get up and peeing  several times a night now there’s another one  

as well within the first week of starting keto  the uric acid levels in your blood can double  

that’s just a normal thing that happens and that  can actually create even some gout in your big toe  

the uric acid tends to follow the ketone so if  your ketones are going up the uric acid will go  

up and this is not a bad thing it’s just something  that occurs but realize that it’s going to go away  

when you are fat adapted so it could take up to  12 weeks before that completely goes away you just  

have to wait until your kidneys have adapted to  processing this excessive amount of uric acid if  

you wanted to speed things up keep bringing your  carbs down lower and lower to even zero and fast  

longer and longer longer both of those actions  are going to greatly reduce the time it takes  

to be fully fat adapted hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof
