 I think we're live. We are live, all right. So this week's coach, we're gonna talk about getting started with your keto journey. And we're gonna emphasize on anti-aging longevity as a lot of our customers and community is above the age of 40. Yes, we have a lot in their 30s, very few in their 20s, although they should all be thinking this way. It's just that there are different phases that are live. So if you would like, put down how old you are, I am 46 years young. I'm very happy, my healthy in my 40s. I've been, by far, my best decade is my 40s, which I'm excited about. New Hampshire's in the house. What's up, Jennifer Mann? So here's the deal. We're gonna talk about this anti-aging thing. I'm very passionate about this. I've been studying it for 20-ish years. Nah, I would say strongly for 15 years. I've known about it for 20 years. And I'm very passionate about that. But one of the things that to age well, you also wanna be a good fat burner. So if you're somebody that's looking for weight loss or fat burning, fat loss, plug into this because that is part of anti-aging. A person that gains weight or fat easy, metabolically is inefficient, which is gonna age the person faster, right? But there's a few key things to longevity and anti-aging that you wanna be aware of. There's actually some really cool studies out there. And I'm very passionate about that. And to start this conversation and why I'm so passionate about it is that my family doesn't live very long. Most, I didn't get to know my grandparents. I knew my grandmother really just a little bit. Most of my family dies in their early 60s. So we had a few hit the 70s. My mom is 72 right now. My uncle is 73. So somebody said approaching 46, but feel like 30 now with Pruitt. That's awesome. I broke out of the hospital. First thing I grab a mic, that's pretty funny too. What's up, girl? I hope you're doing well. Hope you're feeling well out there in Michigan. But the reality is is that I watch people get old fast. And other factors involved, I'm not gonna get into the deep of that. But I was like, when you're sitting next to people, what was they get older and they decrease their function of life. It's not how long you live. It's how well you function as you live longer, right? It's about quality of life. And that's quantified very differently for everybody. But there's a few secrets to this. My mom at 65 years old who at the time was I thought doing really well until four months after her 65th birthday, I saw her again and she got old overnight. And I watched her really slow down. She couldn't even pick my son up, newborn, right? And we have, that was our first child. We have now four. Now at 72, watching my mom reverse her life of aging and then not that she got younger, she stepped into how great her body really is. And it's been really remarkable. And it's not just physical. There's also a mental component of this that we'll touch on in a second. But if you're just getting started with us, now 72, my mom travels the world and you wouldn't recognize her as a 72 year old at all. Like she just thrives in life. But the most important thing is when you get started on our journey, if you're brand new on this journey, I'm gonna recommend a few things for getting started, but also for the anti-aging side of it. I did do a mastering fat loss last week. So you can go back and look at last weeks if you really just only wanna focus on fat loss. But the reality is it should go together because it's not about just losing the weight or losing the body fat. It's about maintaining it once you get there. And that has to do with aging. It has to do with health. That has to do with performance. So what you're gonna do is first thing in the morning, if you're really into anti-aging and longevity and vitality and fat burning, drink this first thing in the morning. Why? It's a superior fuel. It's a fourth macronutrient, meaning that it actually provides sustained energy to number one, your brain, number two, your muscle system. You want those to have energy. The last thing you ever want in your life is your brain to slow down and your muscles to slow down. You don't want that. That is the aging effect, right? You wanna keep those functioning. You want your cells to replenish fast. You want DNA to repair. You want all those things happening. And there's a lot of scientific evidence that supports this, but there's also a lot of proof in the pudding. When you look at the people that have been working with us for so long, they just don't age like everybody else. And so now there's an additional lifestyle benefits I'm gonna encourage you to do. So drink this first thing in the morning. But if you're really big into anti-aging, if you're huge into anti-aging, especially if you're of the age of 40, what I recommend is in the afternoon, this is what I'll say what I do. So I drink one of these in the morning. I drink one of these in the afternoon. Now we have a couple of different formulations. I might do a keto kick. It's ketones, it's in a little different form. So I do two caffeines, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. So I have my two caffeines in the morning and afternoon. And then I do a keto pro in the afternoon. This is one of my anti-aging tools. If you're into fasting with us, our IFAST puts this together for you. You don't have to even try. It's already done for you. And so that's what I do. This is my anti-aging kind of standard. And then you can accelerate it in different ways. And then what I do is I don't follow ketogenic diet anymore. I follow more of a low carb, hybrid paleo diet. I allow myself some flexibilities that I wouldn't have before. And there's a psychological reasons for anti-aging. And I'll talk about that at the end. But so if you're getting started with us right now and you're kind of brand new, what has done for my memory is phenomenal. That's exciting. It's exactly that's with me. I've been doing, loving my ketones three and a half years ago. Wow, that is amazing. I just love hearing that. Morning, afternoon, minimum. That's like the standard. If you really want to get, there's ways to amplify this for anti-aging longevity brain health. Dietary, what I tell people do is prioritize protein. So women, you're looking at anywhere from, let's say 50 to 100 grams of protein a day. That's at least two decks of cards a day of protein. Ladies, two decks of a high quality protein. What I mean by that is the 80, 20 rule here, 20% of it can come from like salamis and cheeses and dairy, but the majority should come from a good high quality source. I'm talking about animal protein. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you may need to supplement. You would maybe have extra keto pro because you need to make up some of the difference from the amino acid side of things. But two things that have high quality protein. And then from there, it's just, your carbohydrate load should be based off of your body's ability to handle carbs. So if you're a person that's really into anti-aging and longevity, you might go more keto low carb dieting. You may cycle with some intermittent fasting. You may do cycles of keto or cycles of low carb, but then you might have days where you allow yourself a little more freedom. How it works is this, is that if you eat carbohydrates and you get tired or fatigued or exhausted or anything like that, then you should have less of them. Now, if you eat carbohydrates and you're not gaining weight and you feel good and you're sleeping great and you feel great and you're having some level of carb, maybe it's 50 grams a day, then fine, stay there. You don't need to go to the extreme other side. And I'm gonna tell you why in just a second, but it's gonna be different about everybody. So if you're looking at burning more fat, then you wanna wanna go less carbs, right? But if you're already leaned out where you wanna be, you physically feel good, you're maintaining your muscle mass, what you wanna do then is you can allow yourself some leeway on those carbohydrates, but just keep in mind, if you stop becoming active, you might have to reduce those down. Carbs are like a sleeping pill for you. Yeah, that tells me that your body isn't efficient at them. They fatigue you and that's not a good thing. Now Jennifer's still new in her journey, so she's relatively new in her journey. So over two or three years from now, carbs will respond differently for her. Carbs don't fatigue me anymore. They used to many, many years ago, but now I can tolerate them if it's an appropriate amount in an appropriate way. So I hope that all makes sense. I'm sorry, was 100 grams of protein for women? Yes, so for women, this is my kind of my eh, very wide range, 50 to 100 grams of protein a day for women, 50 to 100 grams of protein. The reason there's a range is that larger you are, the more muscle you have, the more you're gonna need, the more active you are, the more you potentially are gonna need. If you're a high level athlete, world-class woman, you're gonna probably need more than 100 grams, depends on your size, of course. So for men, you're looking at between 120 to 200 grams a day for a man on average. And so you'll think about it, a deck of cards of proteins around 20 to 25 grams of protein, and it's just a ballpark. So, and you don't have to be perfect, you just gotta be really close, okay? Most people need a little bit more, especially as you get older. That's why I like the Keto Pro in there, because the Keto Pro is kind of like your insurance policy to make sure you get enough and still be ketogenic and still help you with your metabolism and DNA repair and health and longevity and brain health and all the other good stuff. So dietary-wise, if you wanna lean out, go ahead and cut your carbs down a little bit more. One of the things that you have to keep in mind as you get older and you're looking at anti-aging, we know that physical activity, like strength training really helps with aging. It also helps with mind and memory. So physical activity is really important, but physical activity combined with ketones is awesome because it actually accelerates the rate it goes into your brain. So you wanna protect that. And the biggest thing for anti-aging is brain health and brain quality, right? Second thing is muscle health, right? There are a few other components, the psychological components, anti-aging, having a purpose, having something to believe in and to do and to be inspired to go do does matter. I think it matters more than maybe anything because it requires you to mentally have some inspiration in your life. I think that's something that if you're in your older years and you feel like you're aging, ask yourself, do you have something to purpose to go for? That's deep, that can get really deep. I don't wanna get too over the top on that as that's not my specialty, but it is something I'm very diverse in. My specialty is really the physical and the nutritional side of aging. A few other things that you wanna think about is sleep, improve your sleep. Anti-aging sleep is huge. So what I do for sleep, the people that can't sleep well, I do a few things. We have a product called SignoOS, I have it right here. We have a product called SignoOS, has an ingredient that really can help with sleep. So that's one thing we might test, the PM, AM and PM. And then I would recommend Triketo Pro an hour and a half before you go to bed or try either our keto chill or ampoule or liquid ketones before you go to bed. But sleeping is a huge anti-ager and it's not just the amount of time you sleep, it's the quality of sleep, how deep. That's why I have a ring that measures my sleep because the more I keep my sleep optimal, the more I recover from the night before. You're constantly recovering, recovering, recovering, especially if you're gonna become more physically active. So just a few things that you can do with using this product. But if you're just getting started with us and you're brand new to this journey, just remember this, this product is a huge breakthrough. It's one of the biggest breakthroughs. While it's the biggest breakthrough I've ever seen in my career, I believe it'll be the biggest breakthrough we may see in our lifetime. If you're watching this, if you're watching this in like 50 years from now, if you are high 50 years from now, but the reality is, is this is a huge breakthrough, it's performance products, it's about energy, it's about cognition, it's about amplifying, improving the body's ability to function. A lot of people come for weight loss and what they really want them to understand is that this is so much more than that. And don't judge this by just that because if you're unhealthy, if you're not well, you gotta get healthy. If you wanna lose body fat, burn it off, re-change your metabolism and then maintain it for the rest of your life. All these fad diets that are out there, it's just shit. And it's gonna cause you, it's a vicious cycle. We have to get off that roller coaster of the crap that's out there. And this is different. We want you to learn how to eat real food. We want you to have fun though too. And that's what I was saying, being strict on a diet, some of my purists out there, my anti-age are purists are, they're, I call them, they go to level X, meaning that they go live out, we have one guy, he literally moved out to Costa Rica, lives in the wilderness, right? Is he, as he living the life, maybe that's his life, but that's not the life most people will live. And he's almost like separate himself. I did this once before where he separates himself from your normal life. And I created, I basically alienated my life and I don't recommend that either. So what I found is that you gotta find things that, that if you have a passion for, like it could be pizza, you know, you have memories from your past, whatever, whatever, whatever, we'll find ways to make it that is suitable for you or have it in a reasonable amount of time or, but maybe you make low-carb pizza crust if you wanna, you wanna keep it clean and make your own pizza, or you have pizza, but you just have it sparingly. But if you never have it and you just have dread and doubt and disappointment because you feel like you're deprived of everything you've ever wanted, that itself will cause you a lot of stress that's gonna age you faster. So it's gotta be an emotional, psychological behavioral component when you think about anti-aging with the biochemistry, nutritional, physical moment. Yeah, you have to put them all together. And it can't be one or the other. I've just seen this too many times. Yeah, the science might say that you should do it exactly like this, but quality of life and the history of working with people, there's something in between that, right? We're not in a lavatory, right? We're in this other place. So finding that bridge. Now, if it's every night that you want to have a bottle of wine, that probably is not gonna suit you very well. So you gotta find your own blend and your own balance. Last thing I'm gonna say before I jump off, if you have questions, feel free to pop them out there. I would just say this is that fasting is one of the most scientifically proven things for longevity anti-aging. It has to, a lot of it has to do with the fact that you're putting yourself in ketosis. That's why this is such a big breakthrough. The other part of that, it's eliminating food. You're giving your body time to rest and break down. So if you haven't done this already, if who's doing, who's intermittent fasting with us? Who's intermittent fasting with us? How many, how much fat, how many fats should you eat? I'll answer that question, Miguel. But definitely do some fasting. And if you're following me right now and you haven't started ketones or you haven't started our fasting program and our transformation program, do me a favor, get back to whoever invited you to follow me. If you're following me to follow me, then hit me up. But let's get you started. Don't wait, invest in you. This is the best value program in the world and by far is the best program in the world with the best education and coaching you're ever gonna get. So it's a no brainer to invest in yourself for this. But definitely come fast with us. Like fast ketones, fast with ketones, fast with ketones. It's a secret weapon that will change your life forever. And anybody that's been with us for a long term and you see it, you just, it's funny. It's like, I always wondered like, there's always people that start with you that didn't continue, right? And seven years later, you're just like, you wonder what they think. Are they like, are they, you don't want to feel bad, but when they see you and they're like, they didn't keep going. Jeff, could you imagine that anybody that started with you didn't keep going and watching you? I mean, he's completely changed his life forever. His family's life forever. Just don't quit. That's all it is. But there was a question, how much fat? I just actually did a video yesterday on that, but it's somewhere else. It's in a group somewhere. But how much fat should you recommend? Here's what I tell people about fat. Fat's not bad. And there are good fats and bad fats. The funny thing is, is people think they're confused about what's good fat and what's bad fat. A good fat is high quality, saturated fat, animal fats. That's good fat. They're like, really? The bad fats are a lot of your seeds and your nut fats, your oils. Those are the things that I'm more cautious with. So I would tell people, first off, your selection of fats is probably really important. So grass-fed butter from grass-fed cows, ghee, avocado oil, olive oil. You still want to cook avocado or olive oil at a high temperature, but it can, it's still got very good qualities. MCT, oil, coconut oil are all, those are all fine. And then animal saturated fat. I use duck fat and saturated fat from animals. Scientifically, it's very, very, very, very, very nutritional. It has a lot of good health benefits. Combine that with, any of those with a really poor diet, then your person's going to have repercussions, but it's not the fat's fault. And we always say, don't convict the butter for what the bun did. But the amount of fat usually isn't as much as people think it needs to be. When you're doing a strict ketogenic diet, it's a high-fat diet. But remember, fat is over twice as many calories per gram. So people sometimes will over-fat themselves and not understand that that wasn't the purpose. The purpose is to allow your fat intake to come up, but don't necessarily, you don't need to eat a rib by steak and add two tablespoons of butter to it. Like probably, it's just not necessary if that makes any sense. There's already plenty of fat in what you're eating. You don't need to overdo it. And I know some of those get on that bandwagon of doing that. So what I tell people to do is first thing you want to do, if you want to go low carb or go keto, just go low carb first. Focus on low carb, try to stay below 50 grams and then try to go below 30 grams in that carbs. And once you can consistently do that and learn that, don't be afraid of fat, but then you can be more strategic with fat. Carbs and fat don't mix, so you don't want to mix them. The problem is that people will do, especially when they drink our product, because it's ketones without doing the diet, right? So they're like, I'm in ketosis and I eat high fat, but then I start eating donuts and cookies and chips and everything else. It's kind of backfire, because that energy and those calories got to go somewhere, right? Like you're still overdoing it. So that can happen, not very often, because it helps with that, but it can happen when people psychologically don't understand what they're doing. So what you want to do is first off is take what you currently make to current meals and just focus on making them low carb. And then once you do that, then you can start being, make sure you have enough protein in your diet, then you can be strategic and start having a little bit more fat as long as your carbs are low. That's gonna vary based off how much you metabolize in your own fat, how much weight you have on you, how much you work out. So all those things are gonna be a factor in how much you get. And that's why there is no one size fits all and there is no perfect cookie color plan because it's different for every single person. Do the carbs change for a man? Carbs do not change for a man. Carbs are carbs. So looking at this way, think of it this way, is you have a carbohydrate tank in your body, okay? So some people have a large carbohydrate tank. Some people have a small carbohydrate tank, okay? The person that has a large carbohydrate tank, those are the people that can eat whatever they want, whenever they want and they never gain any weight. They're the ones that everybody goes, you suck. You know that person. Hey, just for fun, tag that person in this live. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you suck. My wife is more like this person, okay? I'm more like this person. I have a smaller tank, meaning that my tank fills up. What happens when your carbohydrate tank fills up? Anything overflowing stores his body fat. So anytime your carbohydrate tank fills up, anything over stores his body fat, okay? So when that happens, see if I can put that in both screens, I cannot pull it off. So when that happens, you have to know how big your tank is. Now, here's a way to empty your tank, even if you have a small tank, exercise. This is what I did. I exercised all the time, so I was a lot. Basically what I did is I would fill my tank, exercise. Fill my tank, exercise, fill my tank, exercise. So that's another option to do, but it happens if you get injured and you keep filling your tank, you gain a lot of weight. How many athletes out there that stopped training gain, get really fat? They had a smaller tank. They just used exercise as a way to fight small tank. So what you wanna do is you have to understand that, okay? Second thing is, this is man or woman, doesn't matter at all. Women actually can get in ketosis easier than men, just so you know, because it preserves the life of a child. So women can get in ketosis very, very, very easily. Women produce ketones while pregnant for the fetus and development of the brain of the baby. So very, very easy for women to do it, because it's primitive. It actually has to do with survival. So what you wanna think about is this, is that if you are a person that has gained 20 pounds and maintained it for more than two years, and you're somebody that if you go on a diet and you don't drop weight really fast, most likely you have a smaller tank. So what you need to think about is this. You have to think about long-term, I need to learn how to live and enjoy my life with less carbohydrates. You will thrive. The problem has been in society is they wanna, people wanna do their diet and go back to their old lifestyle. Their old lifestyle is not the right lifestyle for them, because obviously that's how they gain all their weight. If you're a person that has a larger tank, what you wanna do, and meaning that you have 20 pounds of lose or whatever, and you do any kind of diet and you just drop weight fast, know that you have the ability to punish your body and appear healthy. So they're hidden, they're not, they don't necessarily have to be healthy people. These, some of these people are the most unhealthy people because they can abuse it with whatever they want, food-wise, but actually you run their blood work and their blood labs and they actually look crappy. So I put them at a higher standard. I tell them, I'm like, listen, you have this unique ability to be able to, to legitimately eat whatever you want and you look healthy, but you're not healthy. So take responsibility and just start using higher quality carbohydrates and higher quality food. So all I'm trying to change in them is their quality of food and of course, leave with protein. Both cases, I will have them drink ketones because they both wanna live longer, have high quality brain health, be good fat burners. Cause as we get older, the ability, our movement, everything changes, our tanks typically get smaller. So as we get older, the tank gets a little bit smaller so your tolerance goes down. That's what happens when you go, well, when I used to eat like this when I was 20, but now I'm 30 or 40 and I don't, and I get out of the way. Well, that's cause your tank got smaller, your metabolism slowed down, okay? That life got in the way. A lot of factors are happening. So you can't go back and say what I used to do because you're not who you used to be, right? It's change and evolve. But in theory, that's the concept. I hope that makes sense. It has nothing to do with, with men or women. It has more to do with just your metabolic type, body types. So if you know the skinny runner, a low-liking person typically has a larger carbohydrate tank. They typically metabolize faster. The bigger, thicker, heavier person or the muscular person, the stronger one, typically a slower, smaller carbohydrate tank tends to be more power and doesn't do a lot of endurance stuff. I started low carb keto diet since May and have lost 70 pounds. Amy, that's awesome. So far and since November, I have stopped losing Y. I started walking daily two miles and still stuck. Amy, are you drinking ketones, by the way? Let me know. So Amy's plateaued. A few things that happen with plateaus. I'll answer this question and I do have to jump over, but. So what happens with the plateaued plateaus is a few factors. Number one, I am not. Well, that's maybe one of them. So number one thing that happens with a plateau, Amy, whoever got you to follow me, hit them up, but listen to what I'm gonna say here in just a second. And if you're following me to follow me, let me know and I'll take it offline and talk to you about this. But when you plateau, a few factors are happening. Number one, you're not the same person you were 70 pounds heavier. It's really hard, especially when you drop it in seven, eight months, nine months, that's pretty fast, right? Remember they used to say 2.2 pounds per week? So you dropped it really, really fast. So your body has to readjust and set a new standard. What we don't know is your metabolic rate, did it go up or down? Did you lose muscle mass in that journey? Was it 70 pounds of fat? I mean, some of it was water weight, I'm sure. But was it 70 pounds of fat if you slowed your metabolism down? I don't know that. That's why this is so important, Amy, is because what happens when people go low carb and then they start going lower calorie because they're trying to lose weight. Well, if you don't calorie cycle in, doesn't have to be carb cycle necessarily, but calorie cycle, you're training your body to live on less. Well, that slows you down. So I would ask you, Amy, did you do a performance test when you started? Did you do a walking test, a push-up test, a plank test, a lunge test? And then I would have you test yourself every month. What probably happened is the first three or four months, you probably would have performed better. But in the last few months, things have probably slowed down. You're not performing at the highest level. And that's usually the case. And so what I would tell you to do is we wanna increase your, I would tell Amy, it's like, listen Amy, you're plateaued. There's a huge lesson to learn here. It's plateaus are not a bad thing. Plateaus are amazing. When you plateau, you basically create a new standard for yourself. You're at a new place of life. You found the perfect way to maintain this new life. Now what you wanna do is you gotta get this firm to give it as like a diving board. You need it to be firm so that you can launch into another phase of your life. If you keep climbing and never create stability in your journey of health, what happens is you slip all the way back to the beginning. So we have to change the way there's a book called Mastery out there. And you have to change the way you look at plateaus. Plateaus are not a bad thing. They're actually a really good thing. And you have a lot of learning information. So I'm gonna give you some of that today. Number one, for the next two months, I want you to only focus on performance, not weight. And what I want you to do is I want you to try to get stronger. So I want you to go do a pushup test. How many pushups can you do in a minute? Knee pushup on the counter doesn't matter. Just create a standard videotape yourself. How many plank, how long can you hold a plank for? How fast can you walk a mile? How fast can you ride a bike in a mile? Or five miles? How fast can you ride five miles on a bike? I want you to do, how many lunges can you do in a row without quitting? Like, put a standard, do all of it over a day. Write it all down. And then every week I want you to do a little bit of physical activity. And then what I want you to do Amy is this. I want you to prioritize protein. I want you to increase your protein up a little bit more, okay? And I want you to do it at least twice a week. I want you to eat more food twice a week, okay? I don't want you to be cutting, cutting, cutting. Think about the psychology of losing weight. You're losing, losing, losing. It's a psychology's not there. What you really want to do is you want to perform better, perform better, perform better. If we only focus on performance, you, the weight would come off because the mechanism that it takes to perform better is going to cause the weight to go down, cause the fact to burn. But what you're doing is create a new little standard of living, anti-agents about raising your standard of living, right? So what do you want to walk a mile in? 15 minutes, awesome. Let's make that your new goal, not to lose more weight. And then focus on those and what's going to happen is your body's going to completely transform, but you need to fuel it with food to perform better. If your body doesn't have enough energy, it's going to slow down. And now that metabolism slows down. So guess what? Eventually you're just going to give in and then you're going to start eating more food and you're going to gain it all back. The biggest, what happened in the biggest loser, which I think they should be prosecuted for what they did to those people. It was, it was absolutely dangerous. So why I like what we do is this, and Amy, I've worked with a lot of you, is this. When you drink ketones, it protects muscle loss. It protects brain loss. So it's an insurance policy so that if your diet is a little off, you're protecting yourself from gaining it back, okay? Number, that's number one. Number two, ketones are, they give you a little more flexibility. We want to teach you with improvement. We're going to teach you, we want you to be flexible. We want you to be, we don't want you to be perfect. We want you to be flexible. We know that you're going to have days off, but we don't want you to fall backwards in those days off too. We want to be able to catch you along the way. So we do some really cool fasting programs where you can do maybe a 60 hour reboot or reset. You can do a five day fast intensive, but then we want to cycle back up calories. We want to give you days to go out and enjoy your life. You still may eat clean food. You might still be keto. You might not be, but what it does is it creates calorie confusion so your metabolism is protected so that you can, and you can sustain your new life. Because the reality is, is that was nobody's going to sustain a ketogenic diet. Very few people ever do. So we're teaching something that they're never going to keep doing. But why can't we teach you something that you're going to keep doing and then teach you how to maintain it? And it's going to change. Next year, Amy, when you come back, it'll look different next year than this year. And it'll be a different circumstance. You're going to be like, Hey Dustin, I can't break my 15 minute walk plateau. Awesome. We got to start to run, right? We're going to start jogging now, Amy. Do you see where I'm going with this? I hope this makes sense, but we've got to change our narrative. Now, at the same time, Amy, if you weren't, if you were low carb before and you're not low carb now, that could be another reason why you plateaued. You changed what you're doing, but you remember this. If you're doing the same thing you were doing at 70 pounds heavier, you're not the same person. So the adjustment is, is that I want to increase your protein, focus on performance, make sure we restain muscle health and muscle function. I would use ketones once to twice a day, every day about in itself, you'll feel better than ever. And then from there, you're going to maintain this and get really happy and satisfied that you're able to perform better in your life. And then boom, next thing you know, your body's just going to transform and change again. And then it'll plateau at some point. My sister's down 100 pounds. She plateaued probably five times in that 100 pounds to maintain it. She's maintained it for five years though, right? The five times in the journey to get there, she plateaued at different things in different ways. So I hope that makes sense. I've been fasting, but if I am a tad bit hungry and want something to eat and eat something carb friendly, carb friendly, does it defeat the purpose when drinking ketones and try to lose weight? I don't know even the carb friendly or not. If you're fasting, so I recommend different styles of fasting. So if you drink ketones while fasting, great. The art of fasting is good for health. It's good for long-term results. Listen, you can lose body fat, get really healthy without doing a strict ketogenic diet, using our product and using fasting techniques, eating healthy foods. You can truly do that. But it's important, but some people might want to go more low carb because metabolically it's better for them or they've been really not healthy and they need to get metabolically healthy. Low carb living is a way to do that. So it comes down to function. If weight loss, remember what we do is not weight loss, it's fat burning, which is very different because we want to, I'm telling you to take the same advice I gave Amy and I would say focus on performance. Don't focus, you want to perform better in your life. You want to sleep better. You want to walk faster. You want to lift more. That's what you really want. If you do that, you will then get the result you're looking for. You're setting a new standard of your life, right? And that's what Provit offers. And if you're doing a fasting window, what I do is we eat between 12 and 8 p.m. on most days. On Saturday and Sunday, I eat kind of whatever I want. Some days I go for two days with no food and I just use ketones as a tool. Doesn't mean I don't competitively not eat. I use it as a way to change up my system so my system constantly has to work and fluctuate so that it can stay healthy. And that's the key to anti-aging. It's not eating and eating. It's both. You need to do both, right? And it's what you eat when you eat and it's how you function when you don't eat that makes you live longer and feel better, right? You get the best results. So I would just tell people, number one, don't beat yourself up with trying to be perfect. Just learn from it. If you're not, what you're doing is not working. You have to make adjustments. Just remember this, an airplane can leave LA to get to New York, right? You don't, just because you're not, you don't wanna get halfway and things aren't going the way you wanna go. You don't go and turn right and go to Dallas, right? You just make a little adjustment. You go around the storm and you get to New York. Too many people are on a journey, right? Amy's on a journey, she lost 70 pounds, doing amazing. She's plateauing and if she doesn't make a change and doesn't start to work, she goes and changes everything. No, what you did was probably 85% right on. So from now on, it's just a little adjustments and then you have to be patient with the human body. Cause guess what? You've had many years to gain that 70 pounds. You don't gain that quickly, right? Your body has to learn a new life. And so I hope that makes sense. Melody, I hope that hit you. Thank you so much for the information. Do you sell ketones or what brand do you recommend? Amy, yes, we're basically, we all work together. I have a huge team around the world. So I don't know if Amy, if somebody referred you to me, it's really important you get back to them. So if somebody said, Amy, follow this guy because he knows a lot about keto and knows a lot about coaching and stuff, then get back to them. You can always hit me a message that I can help you out. But yes, I sell ketones. A lot of people share ketones with our community. And then we coach and we give you guidance. There's only one brand in the world you wanna have and that's ours. We started the industry, we're the category kings of ketones, but it's the only bio-identical peer therapy to ketones something you can have. And it's the only product you're gonna get that has the team of people coaching you along the way, where you're not just like, I don't know, I gotta figure it out. We're gonna actually, we do guest events, live doctor interviews. We do education events to teach you more about how to get healthy in every way, not just how to drink ketones, but how to eat, how to move, how to think clear, how to start changing your mindset around your relationship with food. All these things matter if we're gonna really change the way we live our lives today, not just try my product, try my program. So I hope that makes sense, Amy. But Amy, hit me a message. I'll at least get you started and make sure you're set up in the right place. And then we'll all make sure you get the best deal. So I hope that makes sense. Anybody else that hasn't tried ketones yet, please get back to where we're inviting you and let's help you with that melody. I hope that helped you out too, but just be patient on your journey, y'all. It's a process and it's so fun having coached it for so long. I'm like, I see it so many times. I do the same thing. I can business by plateau in business. I'm like, I should just do something else. I should just go this way. And I think that way, but I'm like, no, what do I get to learn right now? There's so much to learn from this right now. And there's a perspective here. And it's taking that and that's the recipe. That's why my mom has changed her life is why my sister is alive. That's why she changed her lives. So, and also to have some hair loss for the past. All right, Amy, hit me a message. I'll take care of you. Yes, there is something there. And I know exactly what that is. So, I know exactly what's going on. So hit me a private message, Amy, and we'll make sure we stop that because your body isn't, your body's missing something. It's not getting the nutrients it needs. So we gotta make sure we fix that. Easy done. No problem, we'll take care of you. Cheers, y'all. Have a good day.
