start a question for you what is too

much fat on a ketogenic diet this comes

up over and over and over again like how

much Factor I need to consume in their

mind 75% of your calories need to be fat

is a tremendous amount of fat and

they’re a little bit freaked out because

they don’t want to die of a heart attack

or a clogged artery so let’s just kind

of cover that so we need to create a

balance of just the right amount of fat

versus too much fat okay if you have

hypoglycemia if you have low blood

sugars you’re gonna need more fat

because your your main problem is you

can’t go from one meal to the next

without being very hungry so if there’s

a blood sugar issue it’s gonna take more

fat because we want to add enough fat to

go from one meal to the next if you’re

eating too much fat what’s gonna happen

it’s gonna overload the liver and

gallbladder and the pancreas because see

the gallbladder breaks down the fat into

a small these small particles but the

pancreas releases an enzyme called

lipase which takes it from that small

particle down into the smallest particle

so if you’re have a blood sugar issue

and your pancreas is exhausted or you’re

diabetic you’re not going to be able to

produce as many enzymes thereby

stressing the body so when you have too

much fat you’re gonna feel more bloated

nauseous you’re gonna have more right

full sensation on over the gallbladder

on the right side through here it’s

gonna stem up to the right shoulder

blade through here to the neck headache

maybe the eye and might even create

tension you up your neck word causes

pain on the right arm I’ve seen that as

well so in the beginning you’re gonna

need a little bit more fat because you

haven’t fully adapted the switch between

sugar burning and fat burning isn’t

clean enough now when you do this over a

long period of time you’re going to

switch very easily to fat burning sugar

burning back and forth so the need for

fat is going to be less and less but

here’s the thing if you have too much

fat the fat that you’re burning that’s

coming out through ketones in your urine

could be the dietary fat not necessarily

your own fat so even though you’re in

ketosis

you’re not losing weight

because you’re burning mostly their

dietary fat and not your own fat but if

you keep doing it and you keep adjusting

the fat to the sweet spot where you can

go from one meal to the next comfortably

and not overdo it with the fats

you’ll start tapping it into the fat on

your body and this dietary fat won’t be

an issue it won’t interfere with your

ability to really get into a full

ketosis where you’re burning off your

fat and one last mistake that a lot of

people make when there’s when you start

ketosis is they they don’t do in a

minute fasting they will have this idea

they can have unlimited fat so they make

these little cookies out of the fat like

called keto bombs and they’re just

picking out on these things in between

the meals at the meals at night and

they’re wondering it’s not working I’m

not losing weight so that’s just because

they’re fat they’re burning is the

dietary fat and at their own fat so you

want to combine in a minute fasting with

the ketosis not go crazy with the fats

but have enough to get you from one meal

to the next and if you have blood sugars

you can need a little bit more but as

you do this over time it’ll be easier

and you can cut down in some of the fats

and you’ll feel comfortable and you

won’t be hungry and you’ll lose weight
