 Hey y'all, so what is keto? What's this crazy word people are talking about? Well, what they really mean is ketogenic diet or ketosis or elevating your ketone levels. Keto is just a short word for being in ketosis But most people are looking at it as like, what's this keto diet all about? Well, reality all it is is reducing your carbohydrates, moderate your protein, increasing your fat intake and allowing your body to produce ketones through burning your body fat. So yes, it's very similar to Akin's diet. It's very similar to a low carb diet That's very similar to it, but the key to keto is elevating your ketone levels to a therapeutic level if you really want the major benefits of energy, focus, mood, sleep, and fat loss. What is ketosis? We've heard this word now. Maybe it's something you heard in science class Maybe something you heard your friends doing this keto thing or or ketogenic thing Ketosis is really actually simple. It's all it means is you have an elevated ketone levels And now there's multiple ways to get into ketosis Most people are familiar with like a low carb diet or keto diet or maybe Akin's or modified Akin's They're doing some variations of reducing their carbohydrates Maybe increasing their fat intake. Some of you may realize there's actually a way to supplement ketones Which is what I do on top of a low carb diet to elevate my ketone level So ketosis is an elevated state of ketosis or ketones and it's actually been around our whole our whole existence as human So it's very safe very effective It's a great tool to help improve the quality of your life for energy, focus, mood, sleep, and fat loss So if you tried keto before down below just tell me if you've ever tried it. I'd love to hear from you What is a ketone? So you may have heard about the ketogenic diet ketones, keto, ketosis Somebody doing this little thing lost a bunch of weight, but what really is it? What's a ketone? It's actually really simple. A ketone is energies. Your body primarily prior to the last five years You would have to do a low carb diet. Your body would metabolize your fat Our ancestors have done this all of our existence through famine and low carb living just by by the natural process And it break your fat down into a ketone and there's actually three forms of ketones there's three and that are produced by the human body and Those ketones have energy One of the main ones being beta hydroxybutyrate. So it has an energy source which provides you caloric value So provides you energy so ketones are a sustainable fuel source that your body can run off of that our ancestors have been running off of And if you want to elevate your life and get healthier than ever get into ketosis. So have you ever tried keto? Let me know down below. I get this one all the time is ketosis safe long-term and I kind of understand where people are coming from because it's like this is a new concept to them But it's really not news scientifically the ketogenic diet has been studied for a hundred years Humans have been in ketosis all of our existence nearly all of our existence most of the time So what I can tell you is being out of ketosis is not safe long term Being in ketosis is more natural normally in the body now Does that mean you're gonna be in ketosis 24 7 20 356 days a year? No, it's probably not We're gonna live in a world where we're gonna have some flexibility in our diet But the reality is is that eating a low carb healthy diet nutritional plan is not unsafe It's actually really safe for you now There's some people with some where our health conditions that have to be more aware of this But guess what they kind of already are and they're already taking that initiative. So ketones are a ketosis is absolutely safe So who can do keto like who who's it for a lot of people are thinking keto and fat loss and overweight and I gotta lose weight The reality is is the keto has been studied primarily for everything but that yes It's a byproduct of going to ketosis is your own fat metabolism So if you're somebody that needs to lose 5 pounds 25 pounds 150 pounds doing keto or going low carb Utilizing ketone supplementation that we've been using. Yes, that is something that will help But the reality is who's keto for it's for performance who wants to live better feel better think better. It's about cognition It's about better aging. It's about quality of life. It's about elevating your life So if you want to do that it is for you what benefit of ketones would you want? So this is for you really intense keto people that want to track everything. What's a good ketone level? Well therapeutic ketosis is basically above 0.5 millimolar if you don't know what that all means Don't worry about you don't need to know that but some of you out there out there measuring and doing all these things different things So 0.5 is therapeutic What we found is that people that tend to do above 1 to 1.5 between 1.5 and 3 tend to thrive a little bit more They tend to have a little bit more vitality But 0.5 is when we start to see this shift people's energy and focus and mental clarity We start to see a vitality shift in them But there is a sweet spot But I want to give you a range here because everybody's gonna be different and there is a correlation is called the zone There's a correlation between your blood sugar and your ketone levels that can even tie it in a little tighter And that's something you're gonna hear a lot more about next four or five years So optimal let's get you 0.5 and let's get above 0.5 and let's keep it below five if you want to get the best ketone levels All right So how do you start keto now people are gonna be surprised what I say because what you're really asking me is What do I eat the reality that's actually not the best way to start keto The best way is to have awareness of where carbs are coming from. I actually have a cheat sheet start cleaning out your club cup cup It's in your closet Prepare prepare your diet prepare low carb fine low carb options start cutting those carbs down You need to support you need family and people to support you and you need to know why you're doing this If you don't know why you're doing this, you're more likely to quit so having a good I have young kids my why are pretty powerful because I want to be better I want to live better. I want to have vitality as I get older for my kids So learning what to eat. I have so many other videos teaching you that but knowing the five steps to starting keto is really the secret All right, I get this question all the time How fast can I drop weight on keto the reality is you're trying to drop body fat not weight? But that's okay a good friend of mine doctor Stephen Anton. He's done research in this For many many years has proven that the ketogenic diet is actually the fastest diet to drop body fat And weight now keep in mind that first week or two you're gonna be dropping a lot of excessive waste and fluid out of your system So that's that diuretic defect, which that means you need to hydrate really really well And so that isn't gonna be a ton of fat initially But over time it is the most efficient effective way and why that is is because it drives your ketone levels up Which actually produces increases fat metabolism helps you get healthier energy and focus and mental clarity You start moving your body more which is the recipe for quick and fast efficient fat loss and long-term Sustainability really quick. How much weight would you like to drop? How much fat do you want to drop? Just give me a go but give me a comment. Let me know. Alright, so what supplements should you use on keto? This is number one by far. We have a product that we've been using for five years. It elevates your ketone levels So basically you don't have to be perfect on the diet to get amazing extraordinary results also has It has amino acids in it. It has B vitamins in it Which B vitamins are another thing that you might need a little extra on keto a Multi-vitamin just a good general multivitamins electrolytes Which is another thing that I highly recommend and we use and then of course the last one is magnesium just a little extra magnesium You can do that through an epsom salt bath or through some supplementation So these are important because you might find that you're getting results You start to plateau and you may need to bump those up a little bit to get major major major major results So if you need any questions on this just pop me a comment below and I'll help you out I so what is keto Nat? What is keto? We've already learned about that But what is keto Nat keto Nat is a product that I stand behind for less five and a half years? 2015 we launched this product and it's basically a way to supplement ketones into your system So you don't have to be perfect on any diet. You can gradually go into it You can go a little bit more extreme a little bit less extreme and it keeps your ketone levels elevated It's a therapeutic ketone supplement. That's bio identical. It's freaking amazing. It's like instead of swimming to Hawaii You can take an airplane to Hawaii It's just easier and it's more sustainable and it allows people to have flexibility without being perfect Also, not have all the guilt of messing up. So that's why I stand behind it I encourage anybody that's gonna go do keto get this in your hands and just hit me a message I'll take care of you. I'll coach you and guide you around the whole process and it'll definitely is a game-changer All right, I'm gonna be nice in this one. What's lazy keto lazy keto means. You're just gonna half Acid though what it really means is that you're not you're not being strict and rigid on your plan And you're allowing yourself if you're like, oh, I want to have this you're gonna have this so majority Let's say 80% of the time you're low carb and the other 20 you kind of get away with what you want to get away with That's lazy keto. It's a made-up term that was made up a few years back But the reality is is be careful you may not get the ultimate goals it and results you want So my only suggestion for people that doing lazy keto is to drink keto Nat Because it allows you to keep your ketone levels elevated when you take the days off Because it's not the one day that you take the day off. It's the three or four days later It's not the eight the 20% that gets you in trouble is that when that 20 turns into 30 or 40% So lazy keto is just it's just doing it 80% of the time. All right, so I get this a lot Why do I need to drink keto Nat when my body already produces ketones? Well, the reality is is 70% of you your body is not producing ketones very well or very effectively So by elevating them up gives you the benefits of feeling good So you can weather the storm to get to your body's production So it allows your body to make it more efficient at producing your own ketones Which is a win-win and most people can't elevate their ketone levels high enough to get the major benefits now for something Like myself that's already in ketosis. I use it as an added bonus. It's like an accelerator for anti-aging brain performance quality of life So I'm taking it to just another level So if you're looking for better if you're looking for more definitely drink keto Nat no matter what kind of diet you're on Even if it's a ketogenic diet. All right, so a good friend of mine dr. Bretscher called me up and he we're just talking he goes He's what's the most important thing about keto and I go about about what we're doing about prove about this community And as an independent proof-it promoter, I realized that it's not actually the ketones out Superior in every way the best product I've ever seen in my 20-plus year career It's actually the community what I find is that most people are in an island by themselves trying to make a health health transformation Or a life transformation They need people behind them support and team and camaraderie. That is the biggest thing So I would say this is that if you're looking for better in any way And I don't care if this has anything to do with keto or with us Go find people that have what you want and then are going in the place that you're going and go spend time with them Now in the same time I would still drink our amazing product because it's only elevate your life as you do it So come join the mission to better come join the mission to a million cheers y'all Hey, so what are keto foods? Well, it's actually really simple I'm gonna give some dos and some don'ts the dos are low-carb veggies green leafy vegetables asparagus Califar broccoli, I know the califar is white broccoli Brussels sprouts all your green vegetables Moderate protein. So salmon fish squirrel rabbit elk You name it all those protein sources are just fine and then don't be afraid of fat So you get things like avocado butter olive oil Avocado oil I use duck fat now be careful of not going off and start doing fat bombs and all these other crazy stuff You don't need to start there, but to get more about recipes and get more about the keto guide come to my site It's the keto pro system comm and check it out. All right is fruit okay on keto It's this is a this is a tough one for people people are like it's all natural. It's organic It's this is that the reality is is a lot of fruit has a lot of sugar in it And that's it's affecting you to get into ketosis, especially fat losses your goal I do have some rules if you're already leaned out if you're leaning out well and you're in your transforming well There is some fruits that you can have in moderation some berries strawberries raspberries blackberries blueberries because they don't have as much carbs And sugars in them, but be careful of fruit It's really really really tricky because people will have this perception that it's good for them And it may be in some some sorts, but from a ketogenic perspective into max or maximize fat loss fruit can really mess people up So I would tell you this if you're really active and you're really lean you can get away with a little bit more But if you're not I would lean towards the left side of it And if you're going to add any kind of fruits in berries or where you start We're talking about a reboot. We're talking about a reset of how do you do that? How's that how's that look for you? And it's 24 hours. It's 60 hours. We're giving people the opportunity to Create a better relationship with food allow themselves to metabolically shift allow themselves to create a momentum in their life And their health and their vitality right you elevate your ketone levels you elevate your life And this is what with science has been proven now But what we realize is that when people go 24 hours without food or 60 hours without food It's it like stresses them out. They're overwhelmed. They don't think they can do it They are on this fear moment. So we have a kit and tools to use to help support you We have a community and a team to support you in coaching and Mentorship and guidance through the process because you can do this you can change your life. You can go 24 hours without food That's a huge win. You can go 60 hours if you want to without food That's a huge win But we're gonna give you the tools and the environment to create a success pattern for you to be successful So come join us and let's go change our lives together This idea of eating every two or three hours or five meals a day But first off I'm not gonna get into the history of how it started But it's a mistake for the majority of the population There's maybe some small small groups that we could justify that for a short amount of time But think back in our history of time Ancestrally our ancestors would have never eaten that often food wasn't that plentiful if the Egyptians would have been eating five times a Day they be still building the pyramids today. They wouldn't have time to do anything It's like a prison of food. The reality is we should eat more hungry stock more full most people should eat one two times a day Yes, if you're really active, maybe you go up to three times a day and you'll get better vitality better help better longevity By ultimately eating less and less often so intermittent fast fast more often And you'll feel way better than ever before and let's get away from these every two three hours of eating times Because it's not working long-term for people. Cheers We're gonna talk about prolonged fasting long-term fasting meaning fasting for 24 hours or even longer So we've been doing this I've been doing this for over 20 years. My first fast was 14 days. That's stupid and crazy I don't actually recommend it But I've been not done no up to a long-term fasting and when I'm talking about fasting I'm talking about elimination of food still drinking plenty of water or highly mineralized water for hydration purposes Now the benefit of this is a lot of things you increase autophagy you increase cellular turnover and long-term vitality We scientific has shown that that fasting is one of the best long-term things for anti-aging and better quality of life So I'm a huge fan of it The challenge is is that if you're starting out in a pretty unhealthy place You want to take your time start with intermittent fasting work up to the metabolic Mondays or a one hour or one day fast And then you can work up to our 60 hour fast that we do every single month So it's a great tool to use to help advance your health and your life and your vitality and body composition But intermittent fasting. What is it? What does it mean? Basically fasting in itself means elimination of something in this case We're talking about fasting from food eliminating food for a period of time Intermittent fasting would be I'm gonna stop eating at 8 p.m. Or 7 p.m. And I'm gonna wait 12 or 16 hours We all fast through the night unless you get up in the middle of the night So you can do a little longer So a lot of people are doing right now or they're doing an eating window between 12 o'clock and then don't eat after 8 p.m And they're fasting 16 hours now you can do that a little longer or shorter. It's up to you But that's simple. It's all intermittent fasting is if you combine intermittent fasting with a low-carb diet eating low-carb between 12 and 8 Wow, you can get absolutely amazing results You elevate your ketone levels and you feel really really really good. So that's what intermittent fasting is I think everybody should give it a try do it at least five or six days a week. Cheers The reality is is that if you can never weigh yourself and you look in the mirror and you're very confident Happy and who you are. You are the winner. You've you've accomplished the greatness We should be weighing ourselves as little as possible Ideally twice a year checking in with your doctor finding out where you're at No more than once a month. The reason is is that when people weigh themselves. They're not the only way in one variable There's so many variables to weight that it can really mess things up. It doesn't measure bone density doesn't mess your muscle mass It doesn't measure how much water you're holding it doesn't measure any of those things and often because of psychological warfare Only 10% of the population can weigh themselves and get excited about beating the scale Most people feel emotionally defeated because it's not where they want it to be or they get really excited because it moved Let's quit that and if you want long-term results You have to get rid of the scale long-term for you to ultimately feel the way you want to feel. Cheers. I have to apologize I don't have a bottle of vodka in front of me right now, but can you drink on keto the truth is you can It's actually pretty simple. It's one of the simplest things to do is to drink when you're in ketosis because There's a lot of low-carb options alcohol in itself pure alcohol is actually keto friendly Now there is a little caveat wine can have more carbs red dry red wine 3 to 5 grams sweeter stuff can go way up from there Beer they have low carb beers to 2.5 or 3 grams per per beer So you can pull it off be careful though because alcohol can really slow down fat loss and fat metabolism So if you're not getting results, you do want to start looking at cutting back your alcohol It's not because it's not in ketosis. It's more because it's preventing you to get that weight loss or that fat loss Goal so alcohol can definitely be consumed on the ketogenic diet Let's talk about exercise on keto now What people are often thinking about is like what can get me the best results and I'm gonna give you two answers here This is the two answers the best exercise you can do is the one that you're willing to do the one that you can be consistent to I don't care if it's dancing the Richard Simmons. I don't care if it's if it's hit I don't care if it's weight. I don't care if it's cardio whatever you're consistently will do walk Do that because that's gonna ultimately get you your goal But if you said hey, what is the most effective exercise for fat loss and dropping weight? I would tell you two hardcore days of hit training or heavy hard do hard to go weights where you feel it Like you kicked your butt to the other days I want you to do low intensity like 60 minutes to 90 minute like low intensity walk biking and I find for the normal person Non-athletic person that is the best recipe you can do that every day And then you can do two hardcore workouts a week and you'll get great results. Cheers All right, we're gonna talk keto sweeteners This is something again I want people to be careful of is too many people are looking for all these Alternative desserts and fat bombs and they add all these extra stuff to it And it's probably not gonna be necessary for your long-term goals But if you're gonna use and you're gonna make a dessert and have some sweeteners I just recommend we have a couple products that we recommend that are amazing And so we use things like stevia keto friendly and we have another form that we use as it uses Alvulose it's keto friendly monk fruit can be utilized Exile at all be careful of although could probably be okay for more people and you through all which is another one That we use is also keto friendly, but be careful. What's out there people are saying are keto They may be like sent with other stuff So look for the most organic clean sources that you can get and enjoy your keto journey y'all All right, so can vegetarians do keto the truth is they can but it's really really hard for a lot of people Starting out to become a vegan or vegetarian. It's already hard Not everybody but a lot of people but to go keto and go low carb low enough to get your body fat to really metabolize your own fat And to be metabolically efficient. It's really really tough. So most of my vegetarians and vegans I don't even won't even talk to them if they don't use one of our products It supplements amino acids it supplements from protein It supplements ketones for them be vitamins things that you would naturally be low in a ready just on the type of diet You're doing and you get results really really really quickly and it doesn't I have to it It doesn't allow you to be so strict with low-carb and you can get the really cool balance and benefits of being in ketosis So yes, you can do it, but it's really really tough and you got to work really hard for it All right, so is there any side effects to be in a ketosis? Yes energy focus mood sleep fat loss You feel good. There are a few things that you want to be aware of number one ketones are natural diuretic Why I use a very specific tool for hydration. You can definitely get this Just just let me know I can take care of you on that But the other benefit or the other fact that you might notice is a lot of shift can changes in your gi track So diuretic and gi track trans transitions and shifts on both happen Well, let's be honest most of us don't hydrate very well in the first place and most of us have messed up gi tracks because of the Diets we've chosen so both of those will get better But they can take some time to transition and so stay tuned and reach out to me if you have any questions on this I have a lot of tools to help support you through that Hey, thanks for checking out this video for the next video the series check out right here And don't forget to subscribe to the channel so that we send out the next video you get notified and you can check out the latest on the keto journey cheers y'all
