so another question from someone that wanted to know how do I know I’m in ketosis okay now they were using these little strips urine strips to detect ketones but here’s the thing as you do this over time your body is going to be more efficient and you’re not going to have ketones anymore at some point why because your body’s using them as fuel so our goal is not to always show ketones in the urine the goal is to get healthy right by doing healthy ketosis and being very efficient in burning all those ketones up so how do you know if you’re getting healthy how do you really know if you’re doing this correct how do you know if you’re being successful the number one thing is your cravings are the cravings gone completely then we know it’s working is your hunger a lot less between meals how was your energy is it going up then that’s that’s a really good indicator and your waist size okay is that shrinking very important indicator because the other point I want to make is that the maximum amount of ketones you can produce in a given day is a hundred and fifty grams and basically that’s about less than half of your overall fuel now you’re only going to be burning a little bit of glucose that you can make from the protein you eat and even the fat that you eat but the other fuel that you’re going to be burning is basically fatty acids so it’s not all just ketones there’s a combination ketones and a lot of fatty acids okay so you’re probably not testing for fatty acids so the point is that you want to focus on your health and these are the indicators to know that you’re doing it successfully so the goal is not to just have excess ketones in your urine because that doesn’t tell the whole picture alright thanks for watching hey if you’re interested in finding out the underlying cause of your body issues click the link below and take the evaluation quints
