Beginning Keto Diet: Part 3- KETO-ADAPTED

Adapting your body to burn fat instead of carbs involves five specific phases. These phases happen in a predictable order that have been researched and studied. Scientists documented the body’s transitions by entering patients into a study where they fasted for forty days. Each phase marks changes in blood chemistry and occurs at specific, scientifically predictable times. With hopes of not overwhelming you, I used three blogs to cover all five phases. In each phase I reviewed where you are in the time since your last carbohydrate, and what fuel source your body is using: ketones versus glucose. I also take note of your brain-fuel in each ketosis phase.

This is the third article covering ketosis phases four and five.

Thank you for not begging people to like/subscribe/comment. Your work speaks for itself. Love this.

[RobCLynch]

I love how the other doctors back each other up. There's a positive comment from Dr Berry here and while we have so many trustworthy individuals singing from the same hymn sheet, we can put our trust in these guys and gals.

[brianelhardt]

Teaching is its own skill and you are a master! Just started Keto - had no clue artificial sweeteners could be sabotaging me?! Yikes! Thank you so much for these videos...

[chrisreeves]

40 days, I joined my church for this length of fast. Day 3 - 5 was the most difficult regarding hunger pains. After that I have never felt more energized and cognitive. It was a great experience, but I never understood that producing ketones was a key to the euphoria. Thanks Dr Boz.

There has definitely been changes in my body through each phase to include fluttering in my chest and sometimes in my heart but I know it’s not a heart problem because I already had my heart thoroughly checked out to include a CT scan of my vessels which reveal ZERO all the way around...it was at this time I knew my electrolytes were imbalanced just enough to provide me feedback...I drink sole’ (a salt water solution), and take an electrolyte supplement. The higher my ketones the more I need this electrolyte supplement to keep night leg cramps and the fluttering chest away. I’ve adapted from Ketogenic to carnivore and am on day 90 of carnivore. My arthritis is almost gone. I have done a fast for 11 days which was an experience...being carnivore I fast by eating one meal a day but mostly I will have two small meals as too much protein tends to upset my stomach as I realize I am still healing. Inflammation is decreasing and I know I am just beginning to lose actual fat. It’s taken so long because after watching your videos I have a fatty liver and I am IR; I’ve lost 15 pounds...a slow process because of past physical abuse brought about by hand and fork in mouth disease. This morning my glucose is 99 which usually it’s 107 after a night of fasting 12+ hours. Thanks to your videos I stopped the gum (!) and within 24 hours I feel the difference. Typically my ketones are .2 - waking up to .9 this morning means I have stopped suppressing my liver with gum! Gum!!!! Thank you, I’ve watched you 3 Part videos several times each and will watch again until it’s ingrained so I can help others adapt too.

After watching this 3 part series I have to say that I possibly know why I am not fully fat adapted and in 1 more week makes it 5 months. Not a single weight loss or gain. I’ve been listening carefully to Dr Boz. I thought liquid stevia was okay to use for weight loss but apparently not. Dr Boz plainly said no artificial sweeteners. Also I am 62 and insulin resistant. And high fasting insulin also. I’m stubborn and won’t give up! Great series, super helpful. Thank you Dr Boz!

[Smiley-jnvp]

45 hrs into my 72 hour fast as I watch these 3 videos. I feel good!!!
Thanks Dr. Boz

[shericonway]

I have spent hours and hours watching so many different videos trying to understand all this. Finally someone has done an explanation on how it all works, and whats all involved. Thank you so much. After 4 weeks of intermittent fasting on my own I can maybe make this work properly. Thank you!

[Hisgraceme]

Thank you Doc. I now, after 6 days and feeling wonderful, will make it a habit of adding a little salt to my water when I drink. I have really enjoyed this series.

[patriciarouse]

The entire 5 phase presentation was easy to pay attention and understand.

[francisconnell]

Best explanation and breakdown of the process I have ever heard on Keto transition. Frankly, I don't think I ever really understood what or how K diet/lifestyle could impact me in a good way, including preserving a healthy liver and brain! Thanks Dr. Boz!

[kaysmith]

This education dispels all the "you can't do that" stuff about Keto being dangerous. Again, thank you 😊❣️

[melodeeruley]

I am trying for my first 60-72 hour fast . I am at 50 hours and I do have ketones! Thanks for all your info, it is so helpful!!

[rubyxcube]

Thank you so much for this 3 part series on ketosis. It was very well explained, probably the best I’ve encountered.

[jamespayne]

Brilliant stuff. My VA doctor actually recommended this channel to me. Glad he did. When I was in my twenties I used to fast every other day. I’ve always remembered that as a time of tremendous energy and alertness. That was forty years ago and much has slipped away. Time to reset. I’m on day five now. I’ve noticed some remarkable changes though I’m not sure where I am in the cycle. I’m sure my doc will que me in. Thanks a million.

[jeffbstrong]

I have been trying keto and intermittent fasting for years with minimal success. Since listening to your videos I finally get it and it is working! and i am using virgin olive oil instead of buying mct oil. Thank you so much

[margaretoconnor]

Excellent explanations of 1-3 parts. Now I understand why I have plateaued. You are a wonderful teacher!

[lisettemaldonado]

Dr I saw and heard all 3 videos you are great at educating and communicating the message in a simple, clear and precise way-very easy to understand! You should be on TV!
Thank you Dr Boz!

[lindaquach]

Dr. Boz, thank you so much for the 3 part videos explaining phases and emptying morning liver. Ah ha moment for me! Your ketone brain is doing a great job explaining everything simple, step by step, and realistically reachable. Awesome!

I'm back.
I cried.
I watched parts 1 and 2. Then I went to the pantry, got out the big boxes of Gummie Bears and Peppermints, ran them through the blender, mixed it with water and fertilized all the fruit trees.
I lost from 190 pounds to 158 but never got mush results on the Pee Test. The trees said they were very happy to have the sugar and associated carbon.
I' a happy camper now !
Thanks, gal, in your war on CARBS !
