I lived a successful keto life for several years to make sure I didn’t become diabetic as my entire family has diabetes. Then I retired and it was party on. Simultaneously I went through menopause and for the first time I gained about 25-30 lbs. I am now ready to take my health back. This series of videos is so informative and breaks down the science behind keto. Thanks Doc, reminding me how ketosis works, allows me to make better decisions on the food I eat.
Out of all the people I have listened to about Keto this Dr. Is the best ! A voice that doesn’t cut through my ears and talks at a speed that my brain is able to keep up with , She’s fantastic at these presentations and I wish I had come across her at the start !!
You’re a great teacher doc. Thanks. Day 3 is when I start producing a significant amount of ketones. I continue measuring then different times during the day each day. It’s very encouraging knowing I’m in ketosis and getting the benefits. I know I just need to stay on track with my diet and be patient. In time, I will start to see great results. You are so right to emphasize the use of the keto test strips. It educates you about your food you consumed and how it affects your level of ketosis.
4min into the video and im glad i choose to keep going on keto when nothing was lost after initial water weight. Thanks for the encouragement Doc. I knew my liver was slow due to my past. Ill be patient and will see results. More important is that im way more conscious of what ingredients & food im consuming & making health better.
This is so encouraging. I started the Keto Diet 4 days ago and am down 10 lbs already. I'm so excited about this lifestyle change. I have to lose 100 lbs but this has been an amazing start so far.
I lost 100 over a years time. It is great. You don't get hungry like you did. Don't give up. your body may need to adjust or you may have to adjust supplements or macros.
Wow! You deliver information in a simple, understandable, and easy to digest manner. You provide exactly what to do. The best keto video I've seen! Thank you!
Great video. I really enjoyed this in depth analysis of the ketogenic process. I lost 35 lbs on a Keto program, and I continue to average about 20 carbs a day. I hope anyone who needs to loose weight can get the help they need, and begin to live the life they deserve to live.
I have read a bit and watched a ton. This series is THE MOST informative and understandable. Thank you. I feel more inclined to have faith that I will get to ketosis eventually. It seems so far fetched to me after 12 years of being overweight.
More than the loss of weight is the feel good feeling and confidence that one is moving in the correct direction 🙏 Fantastic lesson on digestion and how the body works in digestion
Thank you Dr Boz. I lost 18 kgs that is around 40 lbs ever since i started my keto. Its been tough for me to remain in keto state 'cause of my work life balance and since i am from India. it is very hard to find anything that is free of carbs.....appreciate your approach to reach out to people on the benefits of keto
I’ve switched to bulletproof coffee and it has dramatically improved my ketones. Butter, MCT or refined organic coconut oil, and coffee. I sometimes top it with whipped cream. Tastes great 👍🏻
Very helpful series. I've switched to a combination of keto & intermittent fasting a week ago & have around 4 stone to lose to get mid healthy BMI range, your information is very clear & thank you for not adding background music.
I wish I could give all your videos a million thumbs up Dr. Boz. Reading your book also and can't get enough of it. Thanks for your brilliant work!! ❤❤🙏🙏
Thank you, Dr. Boz. I just started watching your videos, and they are VERY informative. I'm also new to keto. I have always eaten breakfast because I thought it was healthy:) So I ate breakfast even when I wasn't hungry. I recall telling my husband, "I have to eat breakfast because it's healthy, but I am NOT hungry." LOL Sometimes breakfast included a boiled egg, but always included carbs and sugar...always. I felt yucky after eating breakfast...bloated, etc. This morning I decided to only eat breakfast when I felt hungry. I got up at 6am, and didn't feel hungry until 8:20am. Then I had an omelette (2 eggs, 1/2 red pepper) fried in butter + 2 cups of black coffee (no sugar). For the first time in my life I did NOT feel "yucky" after breakfast, did not feel bloated, and did not feel hungry half an hour after eating as I did after eating the carb/sugar breakfasts. I'm sure this is a wonderful sign of things to come as I begin my keto journey. Thank you for your very helpful videos.
That's awesome. I love that story. If you haven't checked out the book I wrote it is a great story of what I taught my mom about a keto diet when she needed it the most. The audiobook is my favorite. adbl.co/2SLLfS1 p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #dca10d}
Dr. Boz [Annette Bosworth, MD] so maybe I missed a video but how do I transition from 4 -500mg metforman, 25 units lantus, and mealtime insulin without have lows due to lantus and metforman?
I had no idea. I am 67 years old and I wish I had known about this when I was younger. I am on day 6 of the carnivore diet. Days 4 & 5 have been the worst, the Keto Flu.with watery diarrhea and I mean water. .. I am taking electrolytes.and also Pepto Bismol. I have noticed on day 6 having more energy and better clarity. of mind and not feeling miserable. I have been able to wait 7 -10 hours during the day before having my evening 2nd meal of my day.. I have noticed that when I am satiated the thought of eating anything is a bit nauseating so I know when I am hungry when the thought of eating food does not make me feel sick but rather eager to eat. I hope it stays this way. Thanks for these videos DOC very helpful and instructive. You are a caring physician.😃👍🙏
Love this 3 part. We use it for our meetup members. No many ripped vloggers citing dozens of reasons for stalls. Glucose testing and ketone strips. And we even track uric acid now that those meters are available
It’s our bad habits that are the hardest to break! We need to adjust to good habits and that takes mind control and boot straps! It can be done! You might need to avoid friends for a while till you see results and are inspired enough to stay strong.
Just started the Keto diet after suffering real discomfort from my overweight mid section and tingling in my solar plexus area with discomfort. I was 88kg and although this may not seem vastly overweight to some, it was for me. I started by fasting for 48 hours, drinking water and black coffee and broke it with a steak and broccoli..last night. I'm really trying to be 100% committed to the Keto Diet - ordering urine strips and 2 books - one of which was yours! Fantastic videos, very informative and you have such a pleasant way about you that they're very easy to watch :) Added to my Keto Playlist and sharing with all of my friends and family! Thankyou!
As I stated in Part 1, with your help in these videos I'm sure I found my reason for my glucose to be up in the morning. You said artificial sweetners and that's one thing I've used more after I got to my maintenance eating. Thank you so much.
I have been lean most of my life and now 68 years old. My systematic inflammation issues including a knee that was swollen for almost 4 months eventually brought me to The Universe of Keto Info. here on RUclips. I have benefited big time by getting off carbs and learning more about hidden sugars. I have known for decades to low key sugar and alcohol. I did not previously know how my carb intake was feeding my inflammation issues. ... I am appreciating your info. about what glucose numbers to aim at to empty my liver. I have been hitting near the 100 zone in the morning (possibly affected by my pollens allergy? or maybe something I need to discover). While my shopping and eating habits have changed big time for Keto over a few months, I know I have not yet achieved the "burning fat for fuel" zone I desire for the health benefit. With your lesson here, I am now intending to lean into a longer fast cycle to get my liver empty, and hopefully see a ketone strip change colors for my very first time. Thanks so very much for Being You ;+)
I have been on this way of eating for 6 weeks now- started at 124 lbs (I’m only 5 ft tall) all my fat was around my waistline. Yesterday I weighed 113.00 pounds😊! I can see my waist again!
I have lost loads of weight doing this Keto diet, before I did cut down on carbs and walked very high step mountains etc and lost a bit of weight but not enough and still struggled to do so, but I went much stricter and cut out all carbs and i'm now down to about 72kgs from around 92 and a half kgs and I did this to get on the kidney donor swap scheme list for my sister as she is needing a donor and the hospital wanted my BMI at 77 kgs so i'm well below that weight now and waiting for my last and final consultation from the hospital. Me and my sister is matching but sadly her antibodies are too high so as you understand her body will reject my kidney but at least I got my BMI down. And thank you for your videos we all appreciate, take care Ade.
This woman id God... She nailed it right on the head why I don't lose weight with OMAD and low carbs. It's due to my T2D and stubborn Fatty liver. Another big mistake I make [which I should not] is weight training. My body produces a lot of glucose and kicks me out of ketosis for two days.
After watching a ton of videos on this subject,this is the first one where I felt I had a real understanding of ketosis.I believe it's because she approaches it in a linear fashion.The others I have listened to seemed to pick up the topic at random points in the process that made my head spin.Those other videos would also make the subject seem contradictory and though that might be true,when explained properly it can still be clear done correctly- well done!!!!
Just to add to my comment below: Based on your info. about aiming for 55 - 85 mg/dL vs 95 to 100 + on my glucose meter, I decided to bit the bullet and fast past 16 -18 hours (usually less as I munched a few walnuts after coffee). My before coffee and apple cider vinegar routine / 1st thing morning glucose reading were often 100 plus with just a few high 90s. I had been hesitant to fast because I do not need to or want to loose weight (@ 68 years old / 5'11" -155 lbs). I eat good enough to have some resources to pull from while fasting and paid attention for my hydration electrolytes. I was surprised I had energy 1st day, and then second day. I noticed energy slack 3rd morning, but not drastic. I added fat into my coffee on 3rd day and broke fast slow 3rd day after noon. My morning glucose numbers have finally came down low enough (77 twice now) to start burning fat for fuel. I confirm I peed a ketone on a strip. This is a huge shift for me as I had been working on this for about the last 4 months while learning more about Keto Universe all the time via RUclips University. Thank You very much for your important information on glucose numbers to aim at while emptying the liver.
Im 5 days in and im going to buy keto strips tomorrow. I did this diet in 2009 and lost 50 lbs in 3 months. I drank alot of whey protein and pepperettes and pickles and eggs. Pickles have little to no carbs and their a good snack in frontnof the tv. Also cucumbers. And my skin was beautiful. People. When i stopped eating sugar and did this diet for 3 months my eye sight improved to the point that i didnt neet glassses to drive. The eye doctor asked me how i had improved my vision..i told her i quit sugar. Im on this again but thia time its not a diet its a life style change.
I fasted 18 hours, mostly by accident because I was never hungry. Suddenly I became nauseous, dizzy, and thought I was going* to throw up. Sat by the toilet with a cold washcloth on my forehead. Was that Keto flu? I went and drank some water with electrolytes and a pinch of sea salt an& felt better. Then I ate a bag of potato chips and felt great!
WOW. I have struggled with getting the last 50-60 pounds off for years. I managed to lose 105 pounds pretty fast (1 year) but then got stuck. I have been over 300 pounds for many years and now float between 265 an 285. I never heard about the taste of sweet causing an insulin reaction. I use pure Stevia and never see a spike in blood sugar after ingesting it, but, I am testing for glucose not insulin. I was following a Ketogenic diet (but not testing) when I lost the 100. In the past year I have had to study the body's energy systems for my work and understand more about the role of mitochondria. I just finished watching a lecture series on ketogenic/ mitochondrial energy production that was very informative. This videos series has helped me more than anything else I have read or watched. Thanks!!! One note though, please turn the gain down on your music as it gets rather glaring at the end. Keep up the tremendous work you are doing!!!!
Hi Dr. Boz I really enjoyed your informative video about the transitioning stages, you were very easy to understand and you could have been using me as the subject you were speaking about! I started keto backwards it seems! and had no problem giving up carbs or sugar and did this gradually the month before I started and made sure to up my intake of water as well, and started keto with "IF" since it was already how I ate my meals already. But I didn't even think about checking my status with the urine strips, and I just today used my 1st strip and I did see that I'm "slightly" in ketosis now (not sure which pink to believe it is, it looks like the moderate pink but more than likely it's the small pink) but anyway I can not for the life of me get my macros to work for me to get into full ketosis. My liver is very stubborn it seems! no matter what I try to remove from my meals, I still can't seem to go into full ketosis, I have looked at several videos of "Full Day Of Eating" from different people and have tried to make my meals similar to theirs and still no luck! Any suggestions... Or if you could let me know what you think I may be doing wrong, Anything! at this point would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
Hi Doc. Do you know that after some substantial googling you are the only person I have come across who has asserted that liver glycogen stores can take longer than 24hrs to deplete? Your assertion is the only one to match my experience! I'm 72 hours into a water fast and not a hint of pink on the old ketostix. Granted my liver is huge and unhealthy and probably alcohol adapted rather than anything else.
I hope I'm doing right,I eat once every 24 hours and have absolutely no trouble maintaining that eating habit,when I eat it is a tuna salad with cheddar cheese spinach cucumber tomato green pepper and a. Few ounces of organic butter with sea salt and a spoon full organic peanut butter,and I'm good for 24 hours,Good for me thing is black coffee is a ok have as much as you want,and I'm very active,like I said I hope I'm doing right
Hello Dr Boz! I'm so glad I found you! A lot of what you say in your talks I had at least a vague awareness of. I have watched /read many other peoples attempts to explain and inform on the subjects of fasting and autophagy. They all have great command of the subject but none possess your knack for explaining to us laymen. Thank you for your efforts. Also, I read your book and found it both informative and compelling.
Life has thrown me a couple of curve balls. I’m working on by best stuff in the next 12 months. The past year has been a huge test of my faith & my resolve.
Hi doc. Can u make a video walking us through what a typical day of eating on keto will be? Show us hw much fat protein nd Veggies u we recommend. Thanks!
Dr Boz, your music is much louder than your voice. Please adjust it if possible so it does not hurt my ears. LOVE your videos! They are amazing! thank you sooooooo much!!
Q-Team Member#1130405 Thanks for the feedback.. I listened again & it sounds “normal” on my computer. I’m not sure if my assessment of sounding normal adds any value. I have several decades of hearing my voice. LOL
I am now starting my 7th day with Zero carbs, and no cheating at all…including zero alcohol, gum..ANYthing with even a g of Carbs. I am just starting to see a slight hint of pink on the test strips, but this video makes it sound like this evidence should have been seen much earlier. I am on the treadmill for 40 minutes a day as well. Is this lag time in seeing much evidence of ketosis unusual??? I am getting plenty of fat as directed. Thanks for your great presentations.
You need to consider "the dawn phenomenon" when checking morning blood sugar. The spikes in the morning are often from cortisol spikes and gluconeogenesis.
I did 48hrs of fasting.... my urine ketone stick was soooooooo purple. 4+ ketones. I was so happy. I would like to see ketones constantly while eating. Did ok yesterday. Let's see....
I am finding these videos by Dr. Boz very helpful, she's great at explaining the stages the body goes through in transition to ketosis. But I think there is one small bit of misinformation here, she says the liver will start burning ketones, and it's my understanding from other sources that while the liver is the CREATOR of ketones, it cannot itself use the ketones it creates for fuel. The mitochondria in the liver run only on glucose or glycogen, which isn't a problem since the liver can create glucose through the gluconeogenesis process, so maybe this is a minor quibble that most people won't care about.
Dr. Boz, how do we empty out our liver glycogen stores if we take blood pressure medication such as Labetalol that keeps us fat? I can do the 3 day sardine fast, but is it a true fast if we take chemical drugs for our blood pressure? I want to truly heal, but taking drugs seem to be an obstacle to healing.
Getting into keto was very tough for me. It took about 6 weeks. I started with a 3 day fast, no ketones. Next week was a 5 day fast and on the last day I started to show signs of ketones in the urine, but just a trace. It wasn't until the last week which was an 8 day fast and the last 3 days of the fast that I finally saw moderate levels of ketones. If I had tried to do it without fasting, it would have never happened.
The biggest problem I have with eating a keto diet is the types of food that are promoted. It relies heavily on creams and eggs, both of which I'm allergic to. It also promotes eating carcinogenic foods such as bacon, lunch meat and sausage. It doesn't make sense to try to get healthy when you're putting cancer causing foods into your body. I would love to find someone who's written a keto diet that excludes allergenic and carcinogenic foods. Anyone know of such a book out there?
Can someone answer me, if the darker the keto strip. is that making ketones? How much should one make? Well in to keto eating then carnivore, I woke not hungry and it wasn't until the next day that I ate at 1:00. I have tested my keystones for 4 months and never got past the lightest pink so I bought a different ketone strip product and still after 3 months never got past the lightest pink. Can anyone tell me what I could possibly be doing wrong? I never hardly ever eat sweets, I never drink sodas even as a child, don't do alcohol or have never smoked. I don't know if Dr. Boz will read this or not.
Dr Boz! Thank you for educating us and caring for others! My morning glucose readings are consistently 99-111 and blood ketones are 1.1-2.5 for 25 days. I have eaten no carbs for this time. (All fat and meat) Should I be concerned that my glucose readings aren’t lower? They have dropped into the 70’s and 80’s during the day and at night. I appreciate your time!
Dr Boz thank you so much for these amazingly informative videos. I have been dieting all my life (at 61) and have found that the ketogenic lifestyle is the best choice for me. I have been following this way of eating since mid July and seeing slow steady weight loss. I am now thinking of fasting after watching part 3 of your series. Thanks again for the education and inspiration. I wish I could be your patient. Where is your practice?
the changes she is telling people is a BIG change from what they normally do & will see changes if they keep it up like she says. As they continue to do this their tastes change & eventually most folks seek more CLEAN eating & begin to leave off bad foods. It's baby steps for people to learn a new behavior
Dr. Boz thank you so much for your videos!! I love how you explain everything! Do you consider Stevia a sugar substitute? Are you able to use Stevia on a Keto diet?
Hello Dr. Box, I still watch and listen to many, many videos on the Ketogenic lifestyle, even though I have living that lifestyle for going on two years. There are mixed reviews about the strips. They aren't cheap and after day two or three days they don't work. You'll end up with 100 that you don't need. Comments?? Thank you.
She said she makes frozen blueberries munkfruit n cacao powder icecream. Whyyyyy cant we have sugar sub alsooo😢😢😢😢 j.k i guess that comes later CANT WAIT TO TRY her recepie though😊
BAMBAM IS BIG OK because you still raise your insulin levels. Dr berg does explain this. Using them helps people who are addicted to sugar to transition easier. Still if. You can live without it, you will get into ketosis quicker.
Hi Dr. Boz. I’ve recently found you. I’ve enjoyed your videos and I’ll check out your book. One question, if you don’t mind...do you consider stevia to be a sugar substitute? I don’t think it raises my blood sugar though I’ve heard some people believe that just having the sweet taste on your tongue prompts an insulin response. What do you think?
Keto strips are okay at first, but are not accurate whatsoever after being in ketosis for a couple weeks. They are especially inaccurate if you're drinking copious amounts of water ! Which is best to do on keto, I was drinking near a gallon every day and it said I was not in ketosis ! Doing a blood monitor is worth doing because of this.
That probably has some truth in in but is likely quite misleading for beginners. Ketostrips are never going to be accurate in the way that a lab assay or even a blood meter might be, but they do provide a useful and generally roughly accurate guideline, especially if you use them to learn your own body (e.g., how much carbs you can ingest while remaining in ketosis.) IF you turn that strip super purple in 3-5 seconds (when development time is 15 or 40 seconds for you strip) you are almost certainly highly ketogenic. (maybe not the '16' or whatever is shown on the scale but you're doing just fine, especially if you feel good.) If the strip beige and you are squinting trying to see a hint of pink -- and you KNOW what you ate today -- you aren't staying in ketosis. Combine this with other tests that Dr. Boz describes like glucose meter and you get more data to try to box in what is really happening -- you will probably find that this does give you reliable results long term.
Keto strips actually measure excess ketones that are excreted in the urine. They become less accurate as your body becomes more adapted to burning the ketones. IMO measuring ketones isn't necessary.

Great video. I really enjoyed this in depth analysis of the ketogenic process. I lost 35 lbs on a Keto program, and I continue to average about 20 carbs a day. I hope anyone who needs to loose weight can get the help they need, and begin to live the life they deserve to live.
Finally, someone who explained the whole thing directly.
It really is about shifting the chemistry. Totally about that. She is very clear; there's no way around that.
Wonderful work, my dear. I began all this about a month ago. Jason's work has been a great help and yours certainly adds to it. Thank you.
I have read a bit and watched a ton. This series is THE MOST informative and understandable. Thank you. I feel more inclined to have faith that I will get to ketosis eventually. It seems so far fetched to me after 12 years of being overweight.

Thank you for addressing the Gastric Bypass population. I really appreciate it. I must do IF and be under 20 carbs per day.
doc this is truly 3rd or 4th generation keto explanations. you have really nailed it.
We want before and after pictures! Your skin and weight changes that you’ve talking about... it’s encouraging :)
More than the loss of weight is the feel good feeling and confidence that one is moving in the correct direction 🙏
Fantastic lesson on digestion and how the body works in digestion
Thank you Dr Boz. I lost 18 kgs that is around 40 lbs ever since i started my keto. Its been tough for me to remain in keto state 'cause of my work life balance and since i am from India. it is very hard to find anything that is free of carbs.....appreciate your approach to reach out to people on the benefits of keto
Congratulations!
Jennifer S well done x
I’ve switched to bulletproof coffee and it has dramatically improved my ketones. Butter, MCT or refined organic coconut oil, and coffee. I sometimes top it with whipped cream. Tastes great 👍🏻
What does it taste like when you add butter or oil to your coffee? Seems disgusting.
Very helpful series. I've switched to a combination of keto & intermittent fasting a week ago & have around 4 stone to lose to get mid healthy BMI range, your information is very clear & thank you for not adding background music.

It’s our bad habits that are the hardest to break! We need to adjust to good habits and that takes mind control and boot straps! It can be done! You might need to avoid friends for a while till you see results and are inspired enough to stay strong.
Am glad i took the time to know what changes my body is going throw and the doctor explained it so perfectly....THANK YOU
Just started the Keto diet after suffering real discomfort from my overweight mid section and tingling in my solar plexus area with discomfort. I was 88kg and although this may not seem vastly overweight to some, it was for me. I started by fasting for 48 hours, drinking water and black coffee and broke it with a steak and broccoli..last night. I'm really trying to be 100% committed to the Keto Diet - ordering urine strips and 2 books - one of which was yours! Fantastic videos, very informative and you have such a pleasant way about you that they're very easy to watch :) Added to my Keto Playlist and sharing with all of my friends and family! Thankyou!
As I stated in Part 1, with your help in these videos I'm sure I found my reason for my glucose to be up in the morning. You said artificial sweetners and that's one thing I've used more after I got to my maintenance eating. Thank you so much.
I have been lean most of my life and now 68 years old. My systematic inflammation issues including a knee that was swollen for almost 4 months eventually brought me to The Universe of Keto Info. here on RUclips. I have benefited big time by getting off carbs and learning more about hidden sugars. I have known for decades to low key sugar and alcohol. I did not previously know how my carb intake was feeding my inflammation issues. ... I am appreciating your info. about what glucose numbers to aim at to empty my liver. I have been hitting near the 100 zone in the morning (possibly affected by my pollens allergy? or maybe something I need to discover). While my shopping and eating habits have changed big time for Keto over a few months, I know I have not yet achieved the "burning fat for fuel" zone I desire for the health benefit. With your lesson here, I am now intending to lean into a longer fast cycle to get my liver empty, and hopefully see a ketone strip change colors for my very first time. Thanks so very much for Being You ;+)
I have been on this way of eating for 6 weeks now- started at 124 lbs (I’m only 5 ft tall) all my fat was around my waistline. Yesterday I weighed 113.00 pounds😊! I can see my waist again!

I learned a lot from watching just a couple of her videos. Doc thanks for the videos
I have lost loads of weight doing this Keto diet, before I did cut down on carbs and walked very high step mountains etc and lost a bit of weight but not enough and still struggled to do so, but I went much stricter and cut out all carbs and i'm now down to about 72kgs from around 92 and a half kgs and I did this to get on the kidney donor swap scheme list for my sister as she is needing a donor and the hospital wanted my BMI at 77 kgs so i'm well below that weight now and waiting for my last and final consultation from the hospital. Me and my sister is matching but sadly her antibodies are too high so as you understand her body will reject my kidney but at least I got my BMI down. And thank you for your videos we all appreciate, take care Ade.
This woman id God... She nailed it right on the head why I don't lose weight with OMAD and low carbs. It's due to my T2D and stubborn Fatty liver.
Another big mistake I make [which I should not] is weight training. My body produces a lot of glucose and kicks me out of ketosis for two days.
After watching a ton of videos on this subject,this is the first one where I felt I had a real understanding of ketosis.I believe it's because she approaches it in a linear fashion.The others I have listened to seemed to pick up the topic at random points in the process that made my head spin.Those other videos would also make the subject seem contradictory and though that might be true,when explained properly it can still be clear done correctly- well done!!!!
Ken Ward - yay!! Thanks for the praise. If you want the best work I’ve done, check out the keto-course. Dr Boz - BozMD.com/shop
Thanks for sharing about the ketone test strips. I did not know there was such a cheap, convenient, and painless way to test for them.
Love the simplicity of your videos!!
I absolutely love your videos and your personality. You're a lovely person down to earth in very good at explaining things🥰
You are amazing..and your videos are treasure doc you make me regret dropping out of med school..anyway thank you for all this info.
Just to add to my comment below: Based on your info. about aiming for 55 - 85 mg/dL vs 95 to 100 + on my glucose meter, I decided to bit the bullet and fast past 16 -18 hours (usually less as I munched a few walnuts after coffee). My before coffee and apple cider vinegar routine / 1st thing morning glucose reading were often 100 plus with just a few high 90s. I had been hesitant to fast because I do not need to or want to loose weight (@ 68 years old / 5'11" -155 lbs). I eat good enough to have some resources to pull from while fasting and paid attention for my hydration electrolytes. I was surprised I had energy 1st day, and then second day. I noticed energy slack 3rd morning, but not drastic. I added fat into my coffee on 3rd day and broke fast slow 3rd day after noon. My morning glucose numbers have finally came down low enough (77 twice now) to start burning fat for fuel. I confirm I peed a ketone on a strip. This is a huge shift for me as I had been working on this for about the last 4 months while learning more about Keto Universe all the time via RUclips University. Thank You very much for your important information on glucose numbers to aim at while emptying the liver.
Im 5 days in and im going to buy keto strips tomorrow. I did this diet in 2009 and lost 50 lbs in 3 months. I drank alot of whey protein and pepperettes and pickles and eggs. Pickles have little to no carbs and their a good snack in frontnof the tv. Also cucumbers. And my skin was beautiful. People. When i stopped eating sugar and did this diet for 3 months my eye sight improved to the point that i didnt neet glassses to drive. The eye doctor asked me how i had improved my vision..i told her i quit sugar. Im on this again but thia time its not a diet its a life style change.
I fasted 18 hours, mostly by accident because I was never hungry. Suddenly I became nauseous, dizzy, and thought I was going* to throw up. Sat by the toilet with a cold washcloth on my forehead. Was that Keto flu? I went and drank some water with electrolytes and a pinch of sea salt an& felt better. Then I ate a bag of potato chips and felt great!
WOW. I have struggled with getting the last 50-60 pounds off for years. I managed to lose 105 pounds pretty fast (1 year) but then got stuck. I have been over 300 pounds for many years and now float between 265 an 285. I never heard about the taste of sweet causing an insulin reaction. I use pure Stevia and never see a spike in blood sugar after ingesting it, but, I am testing for glucose not insulin. I was following a Ketogenic diet (but not testing) when I lost the 100. In the past year I have had to study the body's energy systems for my work and understand more about the role of mitochondria. I just finished watching a lecture series on ketogenic/ mitochondrial energy production that was very informative. This videos series has helped me more than anything else I have read or watched. Thanks!!! One note though, please turn the gain down on your music as it gets rather glaring at the end. Keep up the tremendous work you are doing!!!!
Hamburger and butter reset. Look it up
Hi Dr. Boz I really enjoyed your informative video about the transitioning stages, you were very easy to understand and you could have been using me as the subject you were speaking about! I started keto backwards it seems! and had no problem giving up carbs or sugar and did this gradually the month before I started and made sure to up my intake of water as well, and started keto with "IF" since it was already how I ate my meals already. But I didn't even think about checking my status with the urine strips, and I just today used my 1st strip and I did see that I'm "slightly" in ketosis now (not sure which pink to believe it is, it looks like the moderate pink but more than likely it's the small pink) but anyway I can not for the life of me get my macros to work for me to get into full ketosis. My liver is very stubborn it seems! no matter what I try to remove from my meals, I still can't seem to go into full ketosis, I have looked at several videos of "Full Day Of Eating" from different people and have tried to make my meals similar to theirs and still no luck! Any suggestions... Or if you could let me know what you think I may be doing wrong, Anything! at this point would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
So glad I found you!
Thanks for all your info and advice. I have to say, you are the most beautiful doctor I've ever seen!
Little tip ***cut you ketone strips in half lengthwise and get double of them😀****
DUDE
DUDEEEEEEE OMG THANK YOU
@@katdifranco lol your welcome
Now that is a PRO-TIP, thank you
Great explanation!
More Great info. Thank you.Love your video's.
Hi Doc.
Do you know that after some substantial googling you are the only person I have come across who has asserted that liver glycogen stores can take longer than 24hrs to deplete? Your assertion is the only one to match my experience! I'm 72 hours into a water fast and not a hint of pink on the old ketostix. Granted my liver is huge and unhealthy and probably alcohol adapted rather than anything else.
Have you seen pink on the keto strips ? Thanks.
👍
I hope I'm doing right,I eat once every 24 hours and have absolutely no trouble maintaining that eating habit,when I eat it is a tuna salad with cheddar cheese spinach cucumber tomato green pepper and a. Few ounces of organic butter with sea salt and a spoon full organic peanut butter,and I'm good for 24 hours,Good for me thing is black coffee is a ok have as much as you want,and I'm very active,like I said I hope I'm doing right
Hello Dr Boz! I'm so glad I found you! A lot of what you say in your talks I had at least a vague awareness of. I have watched /read many other peoples attempts to explain and inform on the subjects of fasting and autophagy. They all have great command of the subject but none possess your knack for explaining to us laymen. Thank you for your efforts. Also, I read your book and found it both informative and compelling.
THANK YOU DR. BOZ!!!
Love the pearls
Keep up the great and awesome work you do 💪 you rock big time!
I can listen to you talk about literally anything. Channel should be bigger than this.
Life has thrown me a couple of curve balls. I’m working on by best stuff in the next 12 months. The past year has been a huge test of my faith & my resolve.
@@DoctorBoz 🙏🏾❤️
the best explanation ever... i have the same problem and now i am remotivated to the bones! thanks babe...
A ketogenic diet is critical for those with compulsive overeating. Without lowering insulin you can never control cravings.
You are amazing. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome explanation thank you❗️❗️
Love your voice, Doc!
My ketones are very low in the morning. Not sure why but by evening I’m humming along.
Hi doc. Can u make a video walking us through what a typical day of eating on keto will be? Show us hw much fat protein nd Veggies u we recommend. Thanks!
Dr Boz, your music is much louder than your voice. Please adjust it if possible so it does not hurt my ears. LOVE your videos! They are amazing! thank you sooooooo much!!
Q-Team Member#1130405
Thanks for the feedback.. I listened again & it sounds “normal” on my computer. I’m not sure if my assessment of sounding normal adds any value. I have several decades of hearing my voice. LOL
Q-Team Member#1130405
I just re-read that message - will look into lowering that volume. The music is too loud.
I personally, WILL DEAL WITH THE MUSIC because for the first time in a year on this keto journey, I feel thoroughly enlightened. Thank you so MUCH!!!
I dont hear any music at all
I am now starting my 7th day with Zero carbs, and no cheating at all…including zero alcohol, gum..ANYthing with even a g of Carbs. I am just starting to see a slight hint of pink on the test strips, but this video makes it sound like this evidence should have been seen much earlier. I am on the treadmill for 40 minutes a day as well. Is this lag time in seeing much evidence of ketosis unusual??? I am getting plenty of fat as directed. Thanks for your great presentations.
You need to consider "the dawn phenomenon" when checking morning blood sugar. The spikes in the morning are often from cortisol spikes and gluconeogenesis.
Superb.
I did 48hrs of fasting.... my urine ketone stick was soooooooo purple. 4+ ketones. I was so happy. I would like to see ketones constantly while eating. Did ok yesterday. Let's see....
6:08 what to eat
Wow you look so much younger today than here! wow!
I am finding these videos by Dr. Boz very helpful, she's great at explaining the stages the body goes through in transition to ketosis. But I think there is one small bit of misinformation here, she says the liver will start burning ketones, and it's my understanding from other sources that while the liver is the CREATOR of ketones, it cannot itself use the ketones it creates for fuel. The mitochondria in the liver run only on glucose or glycogen, which isn't a problem since the liver can create glucose through the gluconeogenesis process, so maybe this is a minor quibble that most people won't care about.
Thanks
Thank you Doctor! Going to fast too. 👍🏻 Buying strips!
Dr. Boz, how do we empty out our liver glycogen stores if we take blood pressure medication such as Labetalol that keeps us fat? I can do the 3 day sardine fast, but is it a true fast if we take chemical drugs for our blood pressure? I want to truly heal, but taking drugs seem to be an obstacle to healing.
Dr. Boz, you explain this so well. Thanks so much!
Does monk fruit count as a sugar substitute
Getting into keto was very tough for me. It took about 6 weeks. I started with a 3 day fast, no ketones. Next week was a 5 day fast and on the last day I started to show signs of ketones in the urine, but just a trace. It wasn't until the last week which was an 8 day fast and the last 3 days of the fast that I finally saw moderate levels of ketones. If I had tried to do it without fasting, it would have never happened.
The biggest problem I have with eating a keto diet is the types of food that are promoted. It relies heavily on creams and eggs, both of which I'm allergic to. It also promotes eating carcinogenic foods such as bacon, lunch meat and sausage. It doesn't make sense to try to get healthy when you're putting cancer causing foods into your body. I would love to find someone who's written a keto diet that excludes allergenic and carcinogenic foods. Anyone know of such a book out there?
Can someone answer me, if the darker the keto strip. is that making ketones? How much should one make? Well in to keto eating then carnivore, I woke not hungry and it wasn't until the next day that I ate at 1:00. I have tested my keystones for 4 months and never got past the lightest pink so I bought a different ketone strip product and still after 3 months never got past the lightest pink. Can anyone tell me what I could possibly be doing wrong? I never hardly ever eat sweets, I never drink sodas even as a child, don't do alcohol or have never smoked. I don't know if Dr. Boz will read this or not.
Try asking in her live, every Tu?
You are great
Dr Boz! Thank you for educating us and caring for others! My morning glucose readings are consistently 99-111 and blood ketones are 1.1-2.5 for 25 days. I have eaten no carbs for this time. (All fat and meat) Should I be concerned that my glucose readings aren’t lower? They have dropped into the 70’s and 80’s during the day and at night. I appreciate your time!
Dr Boz thank you so much for these amazingly informative videos. I have been dieting all my life (at 61) and have found that the ketogenic lifestyle is the best choice for me. I have been following this way of eating since mid July and seeing slow steady weight loss. I am now thinking of fasting after watching part 3 of your series. Thanks again for the education and inspiration. I wish I could be your patient. Where is your practice?

I appreciate the feedback on the videos. They are a snippet of what is in my book. ANYWAY YOU CAN.
@@DoctorBoz I've read your book.....,its good a read....thanks for sharing your experience......….also I gave u 5 stars on the amazon rating :)
Be careful with the dressings, there’s usually always a small amount of sugar in them
the changes she is telling people is a BIG change from what they normally do & will see changes if they keep it up like she says. As they continue to do this their tastes change & eventually most folks seek more CLEAN eating & begin to leave off bad foods. It's baby steps for people to learn a new behavior
You're a godsend
Dr. Boz thank you so much for your videos!! I love how you explain everything! Do you consider Stevia a sugar substitute? Are you able to use Stevia on a Keto diet?
When it comes to artificial sugar, are you referring to monk fruit?
Thank you Dr. Boz - this is the BEST A.B.C. instructions I've found! Eliminates my confusion :)
Hello Dr. Box, I still watch and listen to many, many videos on the Ketogenic lifestyle, even though I have living that lifestyle for going on two years. There are mixed reviews about the strips. They aren't cheap and after day two or three days they don't work. You'll end up with 100 that you don't need. Comments?? Thank you.
second video and I love you doc. thanks : )
I knew artificial sweeteners were my culprit😏
I’d heard a while ago they were trouble!
What is better please?
She said she makes frozen blueberries munkfruit n cacao powder icecream. Whyyyyy cant we have sugar sub alsooo😢😢😢😢 j.k i guess that comes later CANT WAIT TO TRY her recepie though😊
Excellent
Can someone explain why sweeteners are kicking you out of keto ? Dr. Eric Berg, and Thomas DeLauer didn't seem like agreeing with this statement...
BAMBAM IS BIG OK because you still raise your insulin levels. Dr berg does explain this. Using them helps people who are addicted to sugar to transition easier. Still if. You can live without it, you will get into ketosis quicker.
A lot of dressings have plenty of fructose in them and soy oil. Read labels or use olive oil and vinegar dressings.
Soy and fructose are hidden everywhere:( good words of advice!
Great advice! Only takes a couple of minutes to shake up your own dressing. Loads of good recipes online without any garbage in them. :)
I can't believe I'm paying attention!
Hi Dr. Boz. I’ve recently found you. I’ve enjoyed your videos and I’ll check out your book. One question, if you don’t mind...do you consider stevia to be a sugar substitute? I don’t think it raises my blood sugar though I’ve heard some people believe that just having the sweet taste on your tongue prompts an insulin response. What do you think?
Sorry but I don't know about the oil they fry those buffalo wings in or the soybean oil in those dressings...
Vilinda Veronica ...or the factory farmed chickens full of antibiotics those wings came from.
Keto strips are okay at first, but are not accurate whatsoever after being in ketosis for a couple weeks.
They are especially inaccurate if you're drinking copious amounts of water !
Which is best to do on keto, I was drinking near a gallon every day and it said I was not in ketosis !
Doing a blood monitor is worth doing because of this.
That probably has some truth in in but is likely quite misleading for beginners.
Ketostrips are never going to be accurate in the way that a lab assay or even a blood meter might be, but they do provide a useful and generally roughly accurate guideline, especially if you use them to learn your own body (e.g., how much carbs you can ingest while remaining in ketosis.)
IF you turn that strip super purple in 3-5 seconds (when development time is 15 or 40 seconds for you strip) you are almost certainly highly ketogenic. (maybe not the '16' or whatever is shown on the scale but you're doing just fine, especially if you feel good.)
If the strip beige and you are squinting trying to see a hint of pink -- and you KNOW what you ate today -- you aren't staying in ketosis.
Combine this with other tests that Dr. Boz describes like glucose meter and you get more data to try to box in what is really happening -- you will probably find that this does give you reliable results long term.
Same!
@Radio Ray Congrats job well done.
Keto strips actually measure excess ketones that are excreted in the urine. They become less accurate as your body becomes more adapted to burning the ketones. IMO measuring ketones isn't necessary.
If we are using a Ketone meter, do we need to use the urine strips? Or is that redundant?
And, does a reading of 0.2 constitute "making ketones?"
