hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about why ketosis doesn’t necessarily

cause weight loss okay now to understand

this a little bit more let’s just talk

about what ketosis is it’s basically the

state of making ketones which are a

byproduct of fat burning so when fat is

being burned the byproduct of that is

ketones and when you’re in ketosis your

body is primarily using ketones instead

of glucose all right so that’s what that

is so to get into ketosis it’s necessary

to lower your carbohydrates but if

you’re consuming 10,000 calories a day

or you’re consuming large quantities of

food you’re still going to actually have

ketones

but the ketones are coming from the

dietary fat being burned not your own

fat and that’s why you’re not going to

see a lot of weight loss but it’s very

difficult to gain weight on a low-carb

ketogenic diet especially if you’re

doing in a minute fasting in fact I

don’t know of anyone who got fat or

obese on high fats if they kept their

carbs lowered so the essence of low

carbs will definitely hormonal II stop

you from gaining weight but you may not

lose weight but if your dietary calories

are a bit too high that’s what your

body’s going to be turning into ketones

not your own body’s fat so to lose

weight on a ketogenic diet it’s

necessary to keep the carbs low keep

your proteins moderate not too high and

adjust the fats to your metabolism not

too much I put a link down below of a

video to explain that more in detail so
