*Understanding ketosis and its relationship with the keto diet is crucial for anyone considering or already following a ketogenic lifestyle. Your video provided a clear explanation of the process and benefits of ketosis. Thanks for sharing this insightful content* 😊

Flipping is not a good word. If it is a switch. But that’s NOT the case. It’s more like moving (a slide) from mainly carbs to mainly fats. But both type of fuel are always there for energy.

If it helps blood sugar, weight loss and blood sugar then why not do it for as long as possible. Keto is naturally low calories as it is so satiating and you can’t just keep eating it. So just not sure if this 800 restriction is even needed. Getting into restrictions seems extreme. I’ve lost just fine on keto with IF thrown in with a few 36+ fasts here and there. Not sure why people make it so complicated.

Hi Michael, my name is Monique. I have few questions to ask. I suffer from acid reflux. Medical practitioners believe it's too much acid coming back up. Some doctors on the internet say that it's a lack of acid and advise you to take apple cider vinegar. What is your opinion? Fat is apparently a problem with reflux. What about keto diet, which you eat a lot of fat? What is your opinion about this? Thanks for answering me. 🤗

The Keto diet is ranked number 37 out of 39 diets intensively studied by the Longevity Institute in California for human health and longevity. It scores 2.0 out of 5. The Mediterranean diet consisting of mostly plant based food with small servings of fish and fowl is rated every year over and over as the number 1 diet for human and health and longevity with a score of 4.2 out of 5

Watch out for oxalates in food, like spinach, dark chocolate, tea, etc I was in bed for three days, doubled over in pain with kidney stones. I was eating "healthy" I thought, but actually l was killing myself with loads of spinach and loved my dark chocolate bars. Every health article said they were so good for you! I lost 75 lbs. on Keto in 7 months. I love the diet, but have not only stalled in a plateau for two years, but gained back 30 lbs. when I quit smoking two years ago. At least I don't have that monkey on my back now. However, I have developed a bad addiction to sweets since I quit smoking, and since I got Covid, I lost my senses of taste and smell, with sweet food being the most enjoyable now. I used to love salty foods. So now my whole life is flipped upside down at 70 years of age, and it's harder to bounce back. I think I can jump start on Keto with calorie restriction. I didn't count calories or exercise before on my first successful Keto lifestyle. Thank you Dr. Mosley for your sound advice. I found you from researching Dolly Dimples, the Fat Lady in the circus, who lost 433 lbs. and kept it off until she passed away at 81 years old. She said if she could do, it anyone can. She was on an 800 calorie per day restricted diet. I'm going to be one of those "anyone can do it" people. 🙏✝️❤️

All I can see is this man as biltong on Symi Island!!!!.Sorry Micheal.Wish someone picked up on your suffering.😢😢😢😢😢

I don't understand how low carb is a healthy diet. The Mediterranean diet includes a lot of breads and pasta and an oriental diet, which has produced some of the longest living (and skinniest body type) people in the world, has rice as a main staple. So keto must be essentially unhealthy but good for weight loss.

Mr Mosley lost my all admiration when I found out that person that used to promote healthy way of living started selling some artificial supplements.
GREED

Studied medicine leaning towards psychiatry now thinks he is a dietitian. No more than a gp plays dietitian. Purely selling dangerous diet fads . Buyer beware
