Thomas, I enjoy your videos, very much. Your information is helping me to Lose Belly Fat-so far, I've lost 2.5 kilos, over the past 3 weeks. THANK You!!!
Love your content but I can not get one. more. email. I sift through 50-100 each day currently. Don’t worry, I always search for you and don’t seem to miss anything you put out. Cheers!
2 years ago I started having intense pain in my left knee. Went to the doctor, he asked a couple of questions, squeezed my knee then told me I had to have surgery. I ignored him, started Keto and intermittent fasting. After losing about 15 pounds, from 315 to 300 my knees have never felt better, no need for surgery!! I've set a goal to lose 50 lbs by summer, I'm now at 285, and I turn 60 in May. Feeling great!! Thank you, thank you!!
I went to the doctor with sore knees and he told me to drop weight. 3 months later on keto I went from 125kgs to 95kgs. Knees and back are a lot better now
@@OleensEmbroidery I am glad that I found out this information early in life (20 yr old) it has really helped me change my life for the better regardless of when finding out the right things and implementing them is always a success. Cheers mate
@@shivmirani748 Fortunately, after my son and daughter saw how much weight myself and their dad had lost, they got on the bandwagon. Caught it before they became insulin resistant.

When first started keto with a 36 hour fast ( I had never fasted this long before) my blood glucose dropped to 50! My spouse thought I was going to die. It I felt great. So alert and energetic. Ketones were high. Now a year and a half later my BG is stable never dropping below 74 and my ketones are pretty stable as well reading .05 to .07 . I was severely insulin resistant.
Congrats on your success!! Did you do just a single 36 hr fast to kick start your diet or do the every other day fasting with 36 hrs in between each eating day? I'm also VERY insulin resistant. 😭
@@musicnut1966 I did the recommended 36 fast to kick start the ketogenic diet. It was TD’s 30 day challenge. It was the best challenge of his by far. Since then I continue a 36 fast monthly, one 24 hour weekly to two weeks and IF.
I wouldn’t say severely insulin resistant if it only took 36 hours to get your glucose down to 50. When did your fasting glucose get lower. I’m 4 months in and my fasting morning glucose is still just over 100. Tried 20 hr fasts. Nothing longer. Did this to back away from the prediabetes level A1C. I was .1 away.
I’ve done the multi day fasting. I would’ve recommended you go two intermittent fasting, one meal a day, keto, then fasting. Just not shock your system and feel really bad.
Your reference to your son’s clean eating piqued my interest. For new parents, or soon to be, it would be awesome if you made a videos pointing us in the right direction for infant -> child nutrition - or at least the approach you’ve taken with your family. It can be overwhelming as first time parents. Much love, thanks Thomas.
Thank you for this video. Not enough experts are talking about what metabolically happens when you have been eating very low carb for years. I have been keto for 5 years and high fat carnivore for the past year. My ketones range between 0.2-0.7. My insulin is less than 5 and my A1C remains in the low 5s. I’m continuing to lean out and have loads of energy. My fasted BG is higher than others eating this way but I have chronic pain which keeps my cortisol and so BG higher.
@@markusb.6797 still leaning out. Still getting stronger. I’ve transitioned to about 50-55% fat and the rest protein. I have a huge appetite due to intestinal malabsorption from pan ulcerative colitis and the higher fat just was not satisfying. The higher protein is relatively better. But I still eat avg 3600 cal/day. So still have a huge appetite.
@@markusb.6797 unfortunately not. I have damage from 20 years of opioid use for chronic pain from hyper mobility type ehlers danlos syndrome which itself causes gut issues and I also have hypothalamus damage from the opioids which impacts my gut. So the pan UC just adds to it all. At this point my gut is a lost cause. But 100% dairy carnivore is better for my gut than anything else I have tried to ingest. So I stick with it. Their is no perfect solution for me. What is your situation?
I have been living a ketogenic lifestyle for over a year now and it has been the best decision. I used to be anemic, had migraines all the time, and was always tired. I don't even get migraines anymore and my energy levels are through the roof. The thing that really gets me going is that my hair looks better too! Hyper
I like how Thomas is super nerdy with all of the physiological information. It shows that he really knows what he is talking about. Much love and appreciation for the knowledge and care, Thomas! And you’re not bad to look at either 😉
Thomas, I've been listening to your videos as much as possible and they have literally improved my overall health in the shortest time that I ever could have imagined. I have gone from a typical 'Inflammatory' diet to a more 'bad food' avoidance diet and in the span of under two weeks I have significantly reduced my severe insomnia and weight. I've also greatly increased my energy both physically and mentally. Thank You!
Thank you Thomas! Now I learned that these terms are misused really often. "Fat adaptation is fuel utilisation. Keto adaptation is the adaptation to utilizing ketones as signal divices and higher levels of energy." ... "Keto adaptation is where your body has seen ketons in the blood for so long that it knows how to react on them. Because they are not just a fuel, they are a signaling device (...) means when the brain recognizes the ketones they can bounce a signale off of them to trigger different metabolic things. (...) Basically it unlocks more of your genes for you. It unlocks more of your genetic code so you can rebuild tissue so you can have more stem cells." This is so to the point and really motivating.
Thank you for the explanation! This has been really helpful. Really inspired me to become keto adapted 💪 It's been a month and hubby and I have only lost about 4 lbs each but I do feel more energized than ever before, we will exercise more on this month as you said in another video to do.. Maybe we will see a weight drop here but so far I am pleased not craving sugars anymore 💪💪 I never thought that would have been possible 😅 and here I am now happy about it 😃😃
This was a GREAT presentation. Not too slow and not overly technical or complicated. Just my speed :) I'm only a month in after failing a couple years ago and there seems to be a lot more information available now. I'm certain I'm in it for good this time. I 'get it' more.
I am a huge fan of the *HyperKeto program* .. I've been on it for about two months now and I can see great results. I'm not saying this just to earn a commission - I truly believe the content is high quality and the diet has been well adapted to my lifestyle. I can't do without it now! I've been on a diet for about two weeks and I can see the difference. It's not that I eat less, but that the food I eat is tailored to my needs. The program is designed in such a way that it helps me plan what to eat without sounding like something is out of reach. It also helped me keep track of my meals.
@@DarkPa1adin nah if you are on it long enough you become metabollically flexiblem I personally can eat 140grams of carbs and even stay in ketosis! If you are kicked out of ketosis you'll be in ketosis very quickly ;)
Don't know, I've been on low carbs/Keto diet and average 20 hrs fasting almost everyday for nearly 3 years now, think I'm totally fat adapted, probably KETO adapted too. I tried wearing a CGM for a couple of weeks 2 months ago just to see how I react to carbs, and I don't even get big BG spikes anymore, nor I get big KETO levels/spikes unless I do 48 hrs + fasting; I never feel tired nor hungry, and my weight doesn't fluctuate for more than 2 lb no matter how much or how little I eat nor how much or how little exercises I do, which I think is a good thing.
My glucose is going up and down while doing keto. I'm in moderate ketosis one day and low or not ketosis the next day and doing nothing differently than my husband. He's doing fantastic. His GKI is great
This is so insightful!!! I will be watching this video a few more times just so that I can 'wrap my brain around' everything you just laid out. Personally, I never test more than. 06 ketones in my system (in fact that number is always my "goal" amount)... and now I know why! I am so grateful for your RUclips channel!
I've just started watching your channel and I really love it! I find it so educational and learn something new with each one I watch - I'm not even doing keto but am seriously considering it after listening to all of the benefits to your body. Unlocking your genes to create new stem cells, wow incredible.
Thanks for your videos Thomas. Always insightful, and just when I think I've learned everything and get bored watching videos going over the same things, I learn something new. 💯
Love this! Thanks 🤩! Been KeTo for years and now it is “popular” there is so much confusing Information out there... Thanks Thomas for breaking it down and making easy to understand! 🙌🏻👍🏻
I know this is paid advertising but I love that he’s making us aware of these amazing keto options bars and products and so on... bc how else would you find out about new products that can help u?
Recently discovered your channel Thomas. Love it. Verified with other exceptional presenters channels. Your as credible as they come. Thank you for sharing and helping myself and others with our health🎉
Fact check on muscle glycogen: Muscle cell glycogen appears to function as an immediate reserve source of available glucose for muscle cells. Other cells that contain small amounts use it locally, as well. As muscle cells lack glucose-6-phosphatase, which is required to pass glucose into the blood, the glycogen they store is available solely for internal use and is not shared with other cells. This is in contrast to liver cells, which, on demand, readily do break down their stored glycogen into glucose and send it through the blood stream as fuel for other organs. So no, muscle glycogen does not go back into the blood stream or to the liver to be utilized.
I have been on a keto diet for about a year now and I was not happy with the results. I always felt tired and hungry. I know there are other keto diets out there, but HyperKeto is the only one that really understands what you need to eat, how much protein you need to eat, etc., etc. It's been great!
LOVED this video! Excellent explanations and information. Well done, really appreciate the work you do. Answered exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I started watching Thomas’ videos during lockdown and I started keto then. I lost a ton of weight but then I fell off the wagon and gained it back. (Not ketos fault lol any diet can have rebound if you go too hard too fast too long). I’ve been back on it 6 weeks. But the thing is, I do it because it makes me feel good, and curbs my appetite. No diet is a magic bullet for weight loss. You want to lose weight, eat at a calorie deficit and don’t forget to do maintenance phases to get into equilibrium with your new setting point. But the other benefits of keto are why it’s been the most successful for me personally.
Excellent topic! Great presentation! The only soft spot for me was at about 6:30: what is happening when muscle glycogen loads up but fat is being used for fuel?! The muscles WON'T use the locally stored glycogen for fuel?! Does it just stay there?! I always thought the muscle glycogen provided the advantage of INSTANT RESPONSE CAPABILITY...because, when you gotta move, you gotta move, like, NOW...Doesn't unused sugar end up getting stored as fat? I'm thinking I might end up with...fatty muscles...hehehe...
Thomas DeLauer. I'm overweight 454lbs ( was 637lbs before change diet) Been eating 85% Carnivore for 2 years and drop 132lbs in 2 years ... Now i changed to keto-carnivore I'm in to 74 days of Keto-Carnivore And drop 50lbs in 74 days First month i had 1.8-2.8mmol/l in ketones After that i am around 0.7-0.8 ketones I'm eating OMAD with 23-25 hours fasting I test fasting for 41 hours this week did not even get hungry .... My ketones was up to 1.8mmol/l (after 28 hours fasting) and after that it was going down to 1.1mmol/l when eat.. and now back to 0.8mmol/l after 2 days my average GKI since i started keto-carnivore 28 August 2021 is 5.9 .. Got my bloodsugar down to average 4.9mmol/l (was pre diabetic and had 6.2mmol/l 2.5 years ago) Am i fat adapted ,keto adapted and ketosis adapted?
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
Omg thank u so much for explaining this I m on keto for more than a year and I m on intermittent as well. I started measuring it and got depressed when it showed 0.5 on shade card after finishing my monk fast, now I got the reason why 😃 than u for making it so easy.
I have tried other keto diet programs, but HyperKeto is the best. The customization features are really helpful, especially because I am a vegetarian. It also helps me to stick with the program and know exactly how much I need to eat on a daily basis.
Last night I had 1/2 small French fry and a ground beef burrito which I just removed the excess tortilla. .6 ketones this morning. My range is .7 to 1 normally. I’m learning my limits so I don’t stress on a mini cheat meal.
I'm shooting for a 48 hour fast. I'm just shy of 24 hours deep right now. I skipped my usual supplements this morning. I'm wondering if I take them, will they technically break my fast as some of them do have some calories. I also don't want to tear up my stomach eating them with no food and make myself miserable. I take fish oil, a one a day multivitamin, turmeric pill, collagen pills, and tribulus. I usually have a whey protein shake and fiber supplement throughout the day as well, but I know they're no nos. I'm still going to drink my apple cider vinegar in the morning. I'm more worried about the pill supplements. Altogether it's probably only between 30 to 50 calories in the whole pile. Should I do without or go ahead and take them?
Can you take 2 many supplements? I'm taking the reishi mushroom capsules form,,turmeric capsule form,,vitamin c capsule form and I have BCAA and collagen pills on their way,,please let me know
You can take too much of anything. Too much water can kill you. As long as what you're taking goes well together without interactions, and you're taking an appropriate amount, you will be good with all 457 of your supplements.
@@FirstLast-bn1mx Well sometimes an ingredient in one thing, may interact with an ingredient in another in an unfavorable way. For instance some ingredients may potentiate or even lessen the effect of another ingredient. What I do first is go to Google and type in "Drug interaction checker" and you can add different types of drugs, or supplements to a list and then it will run them through and tell you if they interact negatively with one another. The only issue I've found is that many times they don't have every type of supplement. It's mostly for prescribed medicine, but they do have some supplements listed. I take a ton of supplements like you, and I've never had an issue, but sometimes supplements will even interact with prescribed medicine too. Just always try to research everything you can about a supplement before you take it, and you'll be fine. Well, I wrote quite the response, and now it's time to go take my 457 supplements 😂 ✌️
The keto diet has been difficult to follow in the past. I would find myself craving carbs and not eating enough fats because I found the whole thing too messy to maintain. HyperKeto, on the other hand, was a perfect solution to my problem. They offer a personalized keto plan that's easy to stick to and 100% customized for your goals! The best
I know this is a couple of years old and I don't know if you'll still monitor or reply to comments. I have a couple of questions: When you state that "keto-adaptation is when we've been in ketosis for so long that the body is responding to the presence of ketones in the blood differently" and later "our body knows how to react to them" "to trigger different metabolic things" and some examples you gave were around rebuilding tissue and making more stem cells - what else do we need to know about this process? Is this the main reason we want to be ketone adapted - for regenerative (staying as youthful as possible) purposes? Wouldn't we want to be BOTH fat AND ketone adapted - and is this achieved by keeping our carb intake very low (or even zero) AS WELL AS by participating in low-intensity endurance type of activities?
I've officially stopped testing positive for ketones in my urine. I think I'm fat adapted, been on keto for 6 weeks along with working out and intermittent fasting
I enjoy your videos (for me less technical and more practical is better). Thanks. I have recently started eating keto (3 weeks in). I have a lingering question about exercising. You mention in the video that endurance athletes may be fat adapted. Don't endurance athletes mainly spend their time working out in an anaerobic state, so they are mainly using carbs for energy? If a person wants to burn fat, should they do work light work outs in an aerobic state. I am trying to figure out how to exercise to optimize burning fat. Thanks for your help. (to anybody who'd like to help me out)
The HyperKeto program is an incredible way to take control of one's diet and embrace a healthy lifestyle. It has taken all the research and work out of finding the perfect keto-friendly foods and provides so many great recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Not only does it help with weight loss by cutting off carbs, but also balances our moods so
Thank you for the content! Its just insanely good. I love how i feel on keto, but have to eat carbs at least once a week due to work events. It surely prevents my ketosis. But is it healthy to eat keto without going to ketosis?
I think you got a great plan and my understanding is you don't want to be in ketosis 24/7 forever . For long periods of time is okay but I'm trying to find out how long is safe
Im not in ketosis. My breath is fine lol. I also never had keto flu. My carbs are close to 40 g due to the 3 cups of raw milk kefir. But im not hungry. Ive dropped 4 dress sizes in 21 days. Im 3 weeks in, and seems to be sustaining. Even if my calories are low due to meat being satiating, i enjoy walking daily up to 3 hours, even in the heat. I failed previous attempts because i couldnt get past the ketosis stage. I did not transition to ketosis successfully.
No matter how much I fast or do a Leto diet now, my pee strips won’t change color. If I go on vacation for a few weeks and eat lots of junk food and sugar, then do Keto after getting back, I get no Keto flu or any low blood sugar symptoms. So would that be keto and fat adapted?
I did carnivore for Jan Feb 2020. I started keto jan 2021. Both times, when my blood first showed ketones, I felt amazing. Clear minded, calm, almost euphoric for about three days. Then it goes away and I become bloated, hungry (even at 4000 calories at the right macro ratio) and really cranky. I think I'm not fat adapted right?
I've been STRICT keto since January 1, but I'm the only one in my family who does keto. I no longer crave carbs, but I know that sooner or later I'll be forced to have carbs. I'm aiming for fat adaptation, so I still have a couple weeks to go. I'm worried that when I'm forced to eat carbs for a meal, it'll reset my fat adaptation phase!
Hi Thomas, How does a guy like Eliud Kipchoge run 4:35 mile pace for over 26 miles? I realize his body has fat stores to cover the energy needs, but what is the physiology to use it at that rate for 2 hours? Is there a lesson to be learned for mortals trying to increase strength and endurance?
I tried all the other keto diet programs and they just couldn't keep up with my needs. I don't know how they do it, but HyperKeto always has just the right meal plan for me. The moment I started following their plan, my weight loss goals were achieved much faster than I had anticipated. After only a month on their program, I lost 10kg
Just a question! You say we have to go through this cycles so we burn fat efficiently but once the body learns how to use fat does it forgot how to use carbs? Or can it optimise to remember both? Thanks
Hi Thomas I wanted to ask you if you recommend the new ketomojo test device I have the old version and once I tried to buy more test strips but Amazon stopped selling them encouraging to buy the new version. But honestly their reviews are terrible so am at a crossroads do continue looking for the old ones should I upgrade or should I just go and try to buy a completely different option to measure my ketones.
I enjoy your videos very much. An excellent blend of technical and practical info coming from someone (you) who obviously follows his own teachings. There is nothing worse than someone fat trying to tell someone else how to be healthy. =)~
Another great video from Master DeLauer! Happy to start my day with some new knowledge and practice for my keto/IF transition.🤩 Thanks for all those neatly selected and nicely presented facts and real lifetime experience! 🙏
HyperKeto is a lifesaver. I had been looking for a keto program to follow for a while that was affordable and comprehensive. I tried different programs, but HyperKeto was the only one that got the balance just right. I was able to lose 15 pounds in just 2 months and feel energized throughout the day. It's been great!
I have a hard time keeping my calories above 1000. Yesterday I had both a protein and collagen shake, an avocado, some goat cheese and some meats for lunch! I even added both coconut oil and macadamia nut oil to my dinner of wild haddock, brussel sprouts and Greek salad, and my food diary said I only consumed a little over 800 calories!
@@polentusmax6100 I workout before my protein shake, and only because I know that I want all of the protein, and not just a portion, like I get with meats!
So, there's different topic that should be talked about like how long does it take for you to LOSE your fat adaptation, and how cycling carbs affects getting to fat adaptation. In the beggining i thought i would be the 3months (average) non stop but with this video seems like it doesn't seem to be that way and that would kinda help more people to try it.

I tried wearing a CGM for a couple of weeks 2 months ago just to see how I react to carbs, and I don't even get big BG spikes anymore, nor I get big KETO levels/spikes unless I do 48 hrs + fasting; I never feel tired nor hungry, and my weight doesn't fluctuate for more than 2 lb no matter how much or how little I eat nor how much or how little exercises I do, which I think is a good thing.
@@DanzeMusic same here :) on keto for 2 1/2 years.
@@GGLiExis that 140gram a day? And you still stay in ketosis?
My glucose is going up and down while doing keto. I'm in moderate ketosis one day and low or not ketosis the next day and doing nothing differently than my husband. He's doing fantastic. His GKI is great
This is so insightful!!! I will be watching this video a few more times just so that I can 'wrap my brain around' everything you just laid out.
Personally, I never test more than. 06 ketones in my system (in fact that number is always my "goal" amount)... and now I know why!
I am so grateful for your RUclips channel!
I've just started watching your channel and I really love it! I find it so educational and learn something new with each one I watch - I'm not even doing keto but am seriously considering it after listening to all of the benefits to your body. Unlocking your genes to create new stem cells, wow incredible.
I've been doing this for 3.5 yrs. I hope I am fat adapted in ketosis.
Thanks for your videos Thomas. Always insightful, and just when I think I've learned everything and get bored watching videos going over the same things, I learn something new. 💯
Love this! Thanks 🤩! Been KeTo for years and now it is “popular” there is so much confusing Information out there... Thanks Thomas for breaking it down and making easy to understand! 🙌🏻👍🏻
I know this is paid advertising but I love that he’s making us aware of these amazing keto options bars and products and so on... bc how else would you find out about new products that can help u?
Great explanation! Thanks !👍😎💪🏻
Recently discovered your channel Thomas. Love it. Verified with other exceptional presenters channels. Your as credible as they come. Thank you for sharing and helping myself and others with our health🎉
Dude.....you really need to put it all together in a book. Awesome content as usual.
One of your best videos ever. This is a sensitive subject because of the dogma, the risk of undermining ur niche and losing viewers.
The research does seem to indicate that at least cyclical Keto is best.
Thanks so much for that definition. I was getting very confused.
Fact check on muscle glycogen: Muscle cell glycogen appears to function as an immediate reserve source of available glucose for muscle cells. Other cells that contain small amounts use it locally, as well. As muscle cells lack glucose-6-phosphatase, which is required to pass glucose into the blood, the glycogen they store is available solely for internal use and is not shared with other cells. This is in contrast to liver cells, which, on demand, readily do break down their stored glycogen into glucose and send it through the blood stream as fuel for other organs. So no, muscle glycogen does not go back into the blood stream or to the liver to be utilized.
I have been on a keto diet for about a year now and I was not happy with the results. I always felt tired and hungry. I know there are other keto diets out there, but HyperKeto is the only one that really understands what you need to eat, how much protein you need to eat, etc., etc. It's been great!
I love the science you put into all this, love it man 👍🏼 keep showing us the way
LOVED this video! Excellent explanations and information. Well done, really appreciate the work you do. Answered exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Great! Thomas. Your the best.
Basically keep doing what a person's doing right here;)
About year half in the see results.
Thank you for all the research you do and putting the information in a way we can understand. Love your videos.
Love how you always put the study info in the descriptions of your vids.
Err it's a lot of jumping greatest sexy thing maybe I don't need it's OK thank you
Thank you for this explanation!!
Your information is phenomenal. Thank you!!
I'm over eight months on keto and used to have 1.6-2 blood ketones and now I have around 1
I started watching Thomas’ videos during lockdown and I started keto then. I lost a ton of weight but then I fell off the wagon and gained it back. (Not ketos fault lol any diet can have rebound if you go too hard too fast too long). I’ve been back on it 6 weeks. But the thing is, I do it because it makes me feel good, and curbs my appetite. No diet is a magic bullet for weight loss. You want to lose weight, eat at a calorie deficit and don’t forget to do maintenance phases to get into equilibrium with your new setting point. But the other benefits of keto are why it’s been the most successful for me personally.
Excellent topic! Great presentation! The only soft spot for me was at about 6:30: what is happening when muscle glycogen loads up but fat is being used for fuel?! The muscles WON'T use the locally stored glycogen for fuel?! Does it just stay there?! I always thought the muscle glycogen provided the advantage of INSTANT RESPONSE CAPABILITY...because, when you gotta move, you gotta move, like, NOW...Doesn't unused sugar end up getting stored as fat? I'm thinking I might end up with...fatty muscles...hehehe...
My favorite Keto chanel 🎉
Best explanation on the Tube.
Finally! I get it. Much needed clarification Thank you Thomas for this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for this video, so great! 👍
Thank you for explaining so well.😍
Thomas DeLauer.
I'm overweight 454lbs ( was 637lbs before change diet)
Been eating 85% Carnivore for 2 years and drop 132lbs in 2 years ...
Now i changed to keto-carnivore
I'm in to 74 days of Keto-Carnivore
And drop 50lbs in 74 days
First month i had 1.8-2.8mmol/l in ketones
After that i am around 0.7-0.8 ketones
I'm eating OMAD with 23-25 hours fasting
I test fasting for 41 hours this week did not even get hungry ....
My ketones was up to 1.8mmol/l (after 28 hours fasting) and after that it was going down to 1.1mmol/l when eat.. and now back to 0.8mmol/l after 2 days
my average GKI since i started keto-carnivore 28 August 2021 is 5.9 ..
Got my bloodsugar down to average 4.9mmol/l
(was pre diabetic and had 6.2mmol/l 2.5 years ago)
Am i fat adapted ,keto adapted and ketosis adapted?
Always amazing breakdown of a complicated subject. Thanks
I have tried so many different keto diet programs in the past, but nothing has ever worked for me. I feel like I am always hungry and my cravings are out of control. I started using HyperKeto a few months ago and it's made keto easy, sustainable, & even enjoyable! The food is high quality and there are no restrictions on what you
Omg thank u so much for explaining this I m on keto for more than a year and I m on intermittent as well. I started measuring it and got depressed when it showed 0.5 on shade card after finishing my monk fast, now I got the reason why 😃 than u for making it so easy.
I have tried other keto diet programs, but HyperKeto is the best. The customization features are really helpful, especially because I am a vegetarian. It also helps me to stick with the program and know exactly how much I need to eat on a daily basis.
I really needed to hear all this. Thank you!
This is a great video about fats and ketosis an carbohydrates in the body
Great video! Question….how do we know when we are fat adapted, and then keto adapted? Thanks again
Last night I had 1/2 small French fry and a ground beef burrito which I just removed the excess tortilla. .6 ketones this morning. My range is .7 to 1 normally. I’m learning my limits so I don’t stress on a mini cheat meal.
This evening I went right back up to 1.0
Good clear explanation. To the point👍
I'm shooting for a 48 hour fast. I'm just shy of 24 hours deep right now. I skipped my usual supplements this morning. I'm wondering if I take them, will they technically break my fast as some of them do have some calories. I also don't want to tear up my stomach eating them with no food and make myself miserable.
I take fish oil, a one a day multivitamin, turmeric pill, collagen pills, and tribulus. I usually have a whey protein shake and fiber supplement throughout the day as well, but I know they're no nos. I'm still going to drink my apple cider vinegar in the morning.
I'm more worried about the pill supplements. Altogether it's probably only between 30 to 50 calories in the whole pile. Should I do without or go ahead and take them?
Can you take 2 many supplements? I'm taking the reishi mushroom capsules form,,turmeric capsule form,,vitamin c capsule form and I have BCAA and collagen pills on their way,,please let me know
You can take too much of anything. Too much water can kill you. As long as what you're taking goes well together without interactions, and you're taking an appropriate amount, you will be good with all 457 of your supplements.
@@blessed6395 Lmao ty,,I checked the ingredients on everything and nothing in them are the same as the others
@@FirstLast-bn1mx
Well sometimes an ingredient in one thing, may interact with an ingredient in another in an unfavorable way. For instance some ingredients may potentiate or even lessen the effect of another ingredient.
What I do first is go to Google and type in "Drug interaction checker" and you can add different types of drugs, or supplements to a list and then it will run them through and tell you if they interact negatively with one another. The only issue I've found is that many times they don't have every type of supplement. It's mostly for prescribed medicine, but they do have some supplements listed.
I take a ton of supplements like you, and I've never had an issue, but sometimes supplements will even interact with prescribed medicine too.
Just always try to research everything you can about a supplement before you take it, and you'll be fine. Well, I wrote quite the response, and now it's time to go take my 457 supplements 😂 ✌️
Your awesome Thank you very much for taking the time 2 help me figure this out ,,I'll be sure 2 check them out ,,Thank you again enjoy your day
@@FirstLast-bn1mx No problem. Hope it helps. Stay safe. Be healthy. =)
The keto diet has been difficult to follow in the past. I would find myself craving carbs and not eating enough fats because I found the whole thing too messy to maintain. HyperKeto, on the other hand, was a perfect solution to my problem. They offer a personalized keto plan that's easy to stick to and 100% customized for your goals! The best
Love this topic and video. Great explanations- thanks!
Thanks that clears up a lot for me. Cheers
I know this is a couple of years old and I don't know if you'll still monitor or reply to comments. I have a couple of questions:
When you state that "keto-adaptation is when we've been in ketosis for so long that the body is responding to the presence of ketones in the blood differently" and later "our body knows how to react to them" "to trigger different metabolic things" and some examples you gave were around rebuilding tissue and making more stem cells - what else do we need to know about this process? Is this the main reason we want to be ketone adapted - for regenerative (staying as youthful as possible) purposes?
Wouldn't we want to be BOTH fat AND ketone adapted - and is this achieved by keeping our carb intake very low (or even zero) AS WELL AS by participating in low-intensity endurance type of activities?
Thanks for clarification 👍
"In this industry" says a whole lot. Keto is an industry just like Kellog or General Mills...
Thank you for the info bro
I've officially stopped testing positive for ketones in my urine. I think I'm fat adapted, been on keto for 6 weeks along with working out and intermittent fasting
Ketones definitely drop the longer you do it. Unless I'm doing a 36 hr fast mine is rarely over 0.6
i feel like 23:1 fasting isn’t long enough for me can 23 hour fasts really help? i like 36-48 hour ones more.
Very useful info.👍
I enjoy your videos (for me less technical and more practical is better). Thanks. I have recently started eating keto (3 weeks in). I have a lingering question about exercising. You mention in the video that endurance athletes may be fat adapted. Don't endurance athletes mainly spend their time working out in an anaerobic state, so they are mainly using carbs for energy? If a person wants to burn fat, should they do work light work outs in an aerobic state. I am trying to figure out how to exercise to optimize burning fat. Thanks for your help. (to anybody who'd like to help me out)
I’m always looking at comments for a short msg points of his videos
The HyperKeto program is an incredible way to take control of one's diet and embrace a healthy lifestyle. It has taken all the research and work out of finding the perfect keto-friendly foods and provides so many great recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Not only does it help with weight loss by cutting off carbs, but also balances our moods so
Thank you for the content! Its just insanely good. I love how i feel on keto, but have to eat carbs at least once a week due to work events. It surely prevents my ketosis. But is it healthy to eat keto without going to ketosis?
I think you got a great plan and my understanding is you don't want to be in ketosis 24/7 forever .
For long periods of time is okay but I'm trying to find out how long is safe
Actually cycling our of ketosis once a week is good esp for women
Im not in ketosis. My breath is fine lol. I also never had keto flu. My carbs are close to 40 g due to the 3 cups of raw milk kefir. But im not hungry. Ive dropped 4 dress sizes in 21 days. Im 3 weeks in, and seems to be sustaining. Even if my calories are low due to meat being satiating, i enjoy walking daily up to 3 hours, even in the heat.
I failed previous attempts because i couldnt get past the ketosis stage. I did not transition to ketosis successfully.
No matter how much I fast or do a Leto diet now, my pee strips won’t change color. If I go on vacation for a few weeks and eat lots of junk food and sugar, then do Keto after getting back, I get no Keto flu or any low blood sugar symptoms. So would that be keto and fat adapted?
Mr D I’m in my 5th year of keto/IF … I don’t get hungry and I crave nothing- is that an example of being fat adapted?
1 of ur btr vidz! 👍🏾
I did carnivore for Jan Feb 2020. I started keto jan 2021. Both times, when my blood first showed ketones, I felt amazing. Clear minded, calm, almost euphoric for about three days. Then it goes away and I become bloated, hungry (even at 4000 calories at the right macro ratio) and really cranky. I think I'm not fat adapted right?
I've been STRICT keto since January 1, but I'm the only one in my family who does keto. I no longer crave carbs, but I know that sooner or later I'll be forced to have carbs. I'm aiming for fat adaptation, so I still have a couple weeks to go. I'm worried that when I'm forced to eat carbs for a meal, it'll reset my fat adaptation phase!
You won't reset anything if you live a healthy life and have a diet which promotes insulin sensitivity, e.g. Mediterrean diet.
Hi Thomas, How does a guy like Eliud Kipchoge run 4:35 mile pace for over 26 miles? I realize his body has fat stores to cover the energy needs, but what is the physiology to use it at that rate for 2 hours? Is there a lesson to be learned for mortals trying to increase strength and endurance?
I'm doing Keto atm, would i say fat adapted if i began eating carbs again to a certain extend? I really miss pasta!
I tried all the other keto diet programs and they just couldn't keep up with my needs. I don't know how they do it, but HyperKeto always has just the right meal plan for me. The moment I started following their plan, my weight loss goals were achieved much faster than I had anticipated. After only a month on their program, I lost 10kg
My fav topic, very big difference between the 2!
Where did you get your cool T-Shirt?
Just a question!
You say we have to go through this cycles so we burn fat efficiently but once the body learns how to use fat does it forgot how to use carbs? Or can it optimise to remember both? Thanks
Hi Thomas I wanted to ask you if you recommend the new ketomojo test device I have the old version and once I tried to buy more test strips but Amazon stopped selling them encouraging to buy the new version. But honestly their reviews are terrible so am at a crossroads do continue looking for the old ones should I upgrade or should I just go and try to buy a completely different option to measure my ketones.
If you are currently hungry and then exercise reduces your appetite does that mean you started burning body fat?
I enjoy your videos very much. An excellent blend of technical and practical info coming from someone (you) who obviously follows his own teachings. There is nothing worse than someone fat trying to tell someone else how to be healthy. =)~
Do fat adapted endurance athletes, not on a Keto diet, produce ketones?
Another great video from Master DeLauer! Happy to start my day with some new knowledge and practice for my keto/IF transition.🤩 Thanks for all those neatly selected and nicely presented facts and real lifetime experience! 🙏
HyperKeto is a lifesaver. I had been looking for a keto program to follow for a while that was affordable and comprehensive. I tried different programs, but HyperKeto was the only one that got the balance just right. I was able to lose 15 pounds in just 2 months and feel energized throughout the day. It's been great!
I have a hard time keeping my calories above 1000. Yesterday I had both a protein and collagen shake, an avocado, some goat cheese and some meats for lunch! I even added both coconut oil and macadamia nut oil to my dinner of wild haddock, brussel sprouts and Greek salad, and my food diary said I only consumed a little over 800 calories!
Protein shake is your problem, eat normal meat
@@polentusmax6100 I workout before my protein shake, and only because I know that I want all of the protein, and not just a portion, like I get with meats!
Thanks a great video.
I wish Canada had options like this
So, there's different topic that should be talked about like how long does it take for you to LOSE your fat adaptation, and how cycling carbs affects getting to fat adaptation. In the beggining i thought i would be the 3months (average) non stop but with this video seems like it doesn't seem to be that way and that would kinda help more people to try it.
How long is it safe to do keto and be in ketosis? 3 months 6 months
How does being fat adapted work with something like the anabolic diet?
I really need this
