Ketosis

[stevesmi]

Quoting Dom D'Agostino on Joe Rogan's podcast. He stated 70% fat 20% protein 10% carbs being 20 net carbs per day or less only getting carbs from vegetables which being plants that grow above ground and certain nuts are high in fat. He says not to subtract the fiber from the carbs count the carbs all together. Check that podcast out you can learn a ton! I believe is episode 994 Joe Rogan podcast

that is the standard keto diet yes

but the facts are it doesn't actually put you into ketosis. even if eating JUST FATS did put you into ketosis, as soon as you ate a steak, or piece of chicken you would get kicked right out.

my big gripe with keto diet is that they don't want you eating fruits. the bottom line is fruit has a very low glycemic load. fruit also is very easy to digest and are loaded with vitamins we need

if you water fast you will entire a deep ketosis by day 3.

the keto diet i never believed in. i still do not believe you can enter ketosis by eating just meat and greens. everything you put into your body gets converted to sugar. so the only way to not have that happen and actually go into ketosis is fasting. i have yet to have anyone prove to me otherwise and i have tried it myself multiple times

You're right, the body does convert fat and protein into glucose. Even patients on medically monitored 2 week water fasts, still have glucose in their bloodstream. Being "In ketosis" is... not exactly as extreme as the term itself implies. For one thing, even when drinking nothing but water, your muscles and other tissues have enough glycogen to supply full levels of glucose for almost a week.

What's being called "ketosis" is really more like "a decrease in glucose levels" coupled with "an increase in ketones" not "an absence of glucose with only ketones". The whole "Your brain starts operating on ketones" however, is complete garbage and never, ever happens. But when there are more ketones, your brain does use less of the glucose. The keytones sort of crowd out the glucose. But the effect is still pretty modest.

What is the fascination with reaching ketosis anyways? You can lose fat if you just eat less calories than you burn in a day. Doesn't matter how you get those calories. Guys will just keep looking for some "magic diet" when it really isn't that complex.

the keto diets that 99% of guys do are not that way at all.

they think that eating steak all day is keto. it is a misrepresented diet just like paleo

Exactly. The Dave Palumbo keto diet is NOT a keto diet. It's way too high in protein to actually enter ketosis.

A proper keto diet is essentially a pure fat diet.

You should go with
It was only when I did Alexia’s keto program that I realized all the mistakes that I’d done before on keto… I wasn’t even in ketosis, no wonder I didn’t lose weight. Alexia was great, she gave me all info that I needed and also moral support when I wanted to run back to McDonald's.

100% Because, god forbid, people admit they ate too much. They KNOW they gotta eat less.
