Is 75% fat too much on a healthy keto diet? It’s a lot less than you think! Check this out.

hey guys I’m back again and in this video we’re  going to talk about is ketosis more of a low carb diet or is it more of a high-fat diet when  you talk to people and you mention ketosis sometimes they freak out because oh yeah you’re  you’re in a high-fat diet you’re going to clog your arteries but let’s just kind of dig into  actually what makes up keep ketogenic diet or what puts you into ketosis it’s not the high  fat if you just went on a high-fat diet you wouldn’t necessarily get into ketosis it’s the  low carbohydrate because when you actually get rid of carbohydrates and cut it down to 5% of your  total calories you force your body to switch the fuel to burn more fat okay so in the absence of  insulin an absence of sugar glucose carbohydrates your body is then forced to burn more fat so if  you keep your carbohydrates very low you have to make it up with other things now if you actually  made it up with protein and had mass amounts of protein unfortunately that also will trigger  insulin okay so then we’re left with fat so when we talk about high fat we’re talking about  70 to 75% of your total calories need to be fat now before you freak out let’s just talk about  what that is because it’s not that much really so let’s just take an average of 1,800 calories  let’s say you’re on an eating plan that roughly is about 1,800 calories per day okay 70 to 75% of  those calories would come out to 120 grams of fat if we divided by three we get 40 grams of fat per  meal all right now what does that come out to is that a lot well let’s just take a look we combine  3/4 of an avocado which basically is 22 grams of fat and combined peanut butter two tablespoons  that comes out to 38 grams of fat that’s not that much okay like in your mind you might think  you’re eating a huge cup of lard and bacon and cheese and all these other things but really  you’re not let’s take a look at 1/2 a cup of almonds with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in  your salad that’s 46 grams of fat that’s more than 40 grams let’s take let’s say we mix olive oil  with pecans 1/4 of a cup of pecans which is 25 grams plus 21 grams that’s 46 grams of fat so it’s  not that much so really 70 to 75% of your total calories being fat grams is actually not as much  as you think ok so I just wanted to point this out just to give you some reality and some relative  value of what you’re dealing with but the key is keeping the carbs low alright thanks for watching  hi guys and hey listen I created a pretty amazing evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes  your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of all of your symptoms the most likely cause so  take the quiz now and we’ll send you report
