there are nine very clear signs that will tell you if you’re in ketosis or not now being in ketosis is very very important not just to lose weight but to get rid of a lot of health problems diseases inflammatory conditions that someone has and the problem with testing yourself for ketones to see if you’re in ketosis or not is when you’re doing a urine test for example or a breath analyzer test they’re not very accurate well maybe at first they might be a good thing but as soon as you start to burn ketones more efficiently those extra wasted ketones are not going to show up in your urine they’re not going to show up in your breath but those values could be zero so those tests are are not very accurate now blood test is pretty accurate but you know it’s expensive you have to stick yourself there’s a little pain involved but I’m going to show you nine different signs or Clues to tell you if you’re in ketosis or not now number one relates a bit more to transitioning into ketosis usually it takes about two to three days depending on how low your carbs are and there’s usually three uh symptoms that a lot of people have if they don’t do either the B vitamin supplements or electrolytes and sea salt because all three of these transitional signs or symptoms can be related to something missing in the diet because when you do keto you need more B vitamins and a lot of times you need more electrolytes and that would be number one keto flu number two keto fatigue and number three keto rash now if you’re doing the healthy version of the ketogenic diet and you’re really making sure that your foods are nutrient dense and higher quality the chances of you getting these symptoms are much less versus someone doing the dirty version of Keto which is basically you’re just doing low carb and you’re not paying attention to the quality of foods and another side note on that if you get diarrhea for example um that usually is related to consuming a lot more vegetables because I recommend that you do include a good amount of greens or Salad on this program to get certain minerals and certain vitamins but some people are just not used to consuming like seven cups or ten cups of salad per day and so because they don’t have the microbes to break all that fiber down they might get diarrhea on the flip side people that have keto breath that’s usually related because they’re not consuming enough greens to kind of counter some of the the ketones that you’re breathing out but let’s go to number two this is a big one this is called weight loss okay you’re going to lose weight initially you may lose a lot of weight like 7 to 14 pounds in the first one to two weeks now why do you lose so much weight initially because simply the first part of this weight loss is going to be water weight loss when your body has been consuming a lot of carbs with that stored glucose you also store a lot of water so for every gram of glucose that you store your body stores 3 grams of water so it’s like three times as much water so people that do a high carb diet are literally they’re just filled with water when you start getting them off carbs they dump and get rid of a lot of water weight so the first week or even week and a half they might lose a ton of weight and then it comes down to like one to two pounds loss and they’re usually depressed at that time because they think wow it’s not working anymore so maybe I should go into another diet when in fact it was working they just didn’t realize it was water weight you have to realize that the most fat you could possibly burn per week is about two pounds and that’s with a healthy body now that’s not including a lot of fasting that’s just going on this Keto Plan because if you start adding more fasting and like you’re fasting for some days and then the weight loss goes up to three four five or even a little bit more weight of actual fat loss per week but when you start losing weight especially after the second week when all the water is gone then you can kind of know that you’re burning fat and the way it’s coming off all right number three this is a good one your clothes are looser around your midsection this is a really good indication that you’re in ketosis and it’s working because the first thing that’s going to happen is your liver is going to start dumping fat and when you start getting rid of the fatty liver you also start losing weight around your organs and that’s called visceral fat and that’s in your midsection so as your midsection shrinks it’s a really good indication that it is working which is way more important than losing weight because of this what you’re fixing when you’re doing the ketogenic diet is insulin resistance and the insulin receptor is becoming more receptive and it’s working in one of the functions of insulin is to help you absorb nutrients especially amino acids so you’re healing the body with more proteins especially if you’re menopausal you have atrophy that’s a good thing so you’re getting more protein and that’s a bit heavier per weight if you compare that to actual fat per weight so it’s all about getting healthy to lose weight not lose weight to get healthy and part of getting healthy is to be able to absorb these nutrients and allow these proteins to get in your body when a lot of people start out they have insulin resistance and they’re usually deficient in amino acids because they can’t pull it in so they have a hard time absorbing protein all right that was number three number four energy increase why because ketones come from fat dietary fat and your body fat and if we take a look at the two fuel sources we have fat in glucose we look at the calories in fat per gram compared to the calories in carbs per gram fat is nine carbs are four that’s less than half of the calories so there’s more than twice as much energy in fat than glucose and when you go into ketosis you’re tapping into all this store fat your potential energy so you get to have that back and use that to actually get things done versus when you’re not in ketosis you’re running on glucose and you’re dependent on the next meal that you eat because you’re eating so darn frequently and the burning of fat and ketones are much more efficient and cleaner fuel number five is your cognitive function increases that’s memory focus and attention that that’s because ketones fix your brain they fix the nerve cell if you have damage in your neurons from too much sugar okay because that basically damages the mechanism and it kind of starves out the neurons and this is why diabetics have a greater incidence of dementia and problems with a cognitive function because of the destruction in the brain but when you’re in ketosis these ketones feed the brain cells directly they bypass this damage and finally your brain cells get fuel and your cognitive function increases like when I am fasting in the morning I’m really in the hardcore ketosis and I do these videos I have much less editing they just like I can just go right through it very fast versus if I eat and try to do a video takes a lot more editing all right number six ketones will help with inflammation and pain why because ketones are anti-inflammatory mole molecules if you have any type of inflammatory condition whether it’s an autoimmune problem or arthritis and you go on the ketogenic diet you’re going to feel a lot less inflammation and that’s a really good clue to tell if you’re in ketosis or not all right number seven when you eat food you are going to feel more satisfied okay and this relates to another thing I talked about when you have insulin resistance you can’t absorb as much nutrition because insulin is not working to help transport those nutrients into the cell so when the cell becomes more sensitive to insulin you are now going to absorb more nutrients and you’re going to feel more satisfied
