So you're following a Ketogenic diet or your just getting started by cutting back on some carbs and you want to get into ketosis and stay there. And the reason is because you want to burn some extra body fat and get really lean without being miserable. And you find out that ketosis is pretty much a state in which your body predominantely starts using fats for fuel in the form of ketone bodies rather than glycogen. So you start following a ketogenic diet and in the beginning your results are pretty good, but then a few weeks in things start to slow down or maybe things come to a complete halt. And if that happened to you or if it's happening to you right now I'm really glad you found this video because today I'm gonna go over the 5 biggest keto mistakes that stop your fat loss and bring you out of ketosis. Some of these mistakes can potentially even make you gain body fat rather than lose it, so you really want to make sure that you avoid all 5 at all costs. Let's start with mistake number one, thinking that the ketogenic diet is simply a low carb diet. I know that this doesn't sound too bad but this is one of the biggest mistakes because people are very quick to identify carbs as the culprit responsible for their higher body fat percentage. Then usually the second macronutrient that people identify with gaining weight and storing body fat is fat. And those of you that have been doing keto for even a little while now know how important eating fat is for you to get into ketosis and maintain your energy levels while burning your own body fat. However, the last macronutrient that most people would never consider slowing or stoping fat loss is protein. I mean afterall protein is the all worshiped macro of the entire fitness and health industry, how can protein ruin ketosis. Well I'm here to tell you that having too much protein can and will take you out of ketosis. The ketogenic diet is not a low carb diet it is a combination of a low carb, high fat, and moderate protein diet. The reason why your protein intake should not exceed a low to moderate level is because if you have too much protein your body will turn the protein in to blood sugar in your liver through a process known as gluconeogenesis. In this process not only do you increase your blood sugar but you can also spike your insulin levels, and in case you don't know insulin is your fat storage hormone. Once your body has the option of using the blood sugar or glucose for energy it will choose that over your fat stores and you will stop burning fat. So to prevent this you can go get a glucometer and ketone blood test strips and constantly test yourself, which may actually help for some of you. But for those of you that don't want to be bothered just make sure you keep your protein intake below 20 percent of your total daily calories. Many people following the ketogenic diet would say that you have to go even lower than that like 15 percent of your total daily calories and others will say you can go higher and have 25 percent of your total calories from protein, however if you stick between a range of fifteen and twenty percent you should have no trouble getting in to ketosis and staying there. Make sure you don't make this mistake remember the ketogenic diet is not only lower carb diet it's a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. And when the it's done correctly thats when it'll help you melt the fat from your body. Moving on mistake number two is a mistake that I made when I first tried to follow a keto diet and that mistake was accidentally eating too many hidden carbs. With this diet plan you only want five to a maximum of ten percent of your total daily calories coming from carbs. For most people this is going to wind up being under thirty or even twenty five grabs of carbs per day. And let me tell you from experience even when you're trying not to, it's so easy to accidentally eat 25 grams of carbs. Very rarely will someone grab a piece of bread, or make a bowl of pasta while following this plan. However there are many snacks and p...

Simple Keto:

- Get your carb intake from veggies, have a serving for every breakfast lunch and dinner (Kale, celery, broccoli, spinach, all those nice greens)
- breakfast: 4 eggs (maybe 5; cheese is optional)
- lunch: some beef prepared how you want
- Dinner: chicken prepared how you want

Tips:
- cook you meals using butter, try adding butter to veggies and other things to get in fat
- drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and get water weight out
- AVOID SUGAR
- avoid carbs in meals; when it comes to veggies pay attention to your carbs but don’t freak out if it goes above one or two grams of your daily macros, they’re veggies they’re good for you

Extra options:
- drink some apple cider vinegar for potassium
- add some salt into your meals for sodium
- most veggies and proteins have the other electrolytes you need to avoid keto flu

HEALTHY Keto in a nutshell, all you need to know:
Lots of green vegetables, lots of HEALTHY fats (meat, fat fish, organic cheese, healthy oils, avocado, some nuts, greek joghurt, butter, some seeds), moderate healthy protein (depending on your lifestyle, workout etc., not more than 30 g per meal), very little carbs (around 30 g per day from the veggies and a little fruit, no bread, no pasta, no rice, no grains AT ALL). Zero sugar and zero alcohol of course, no snacking, no fast food, no processed food, always buy highest quality of foods available.
No good food available because you are on the road and haven't pre-planned? Fasting!
Add nutritional yeast (for Vit B), water with apple cider vinegar and lemon and bone broth for minerals, some berries for the vitamins and anti-oxidants, watch your potassium and magnesium.
So basically you are eating a shit-ton of (mostly green) veggies and you replace your carb CALORIES with healthy fat calories (which is not many GRAMS of fat, calculate it online, you will be surprised).
And you will feel much better than with a low carb high protein diet because: High Protein does spike your insulin whereas fat doesn't. And you want low and stable (!) insulin, you really do.
Easy 😂

Like if this is a good summary. 😎

30 yrs ago I went on the "Atkins(ketosis)Diet", I ate all the meat, cheese, fats, eggs, good veggies listed in his book. I never really knew about fat vs protein but I kept my carbs under 30-40 grams a day and lost 75 pounds in 7 months. I literally ate whatever, whenever, and how much I wanted. Why make this keto thing so hard?

Just when I thought I was feeling confident in what I was

You need to stop discouraging people from eating vegetables. Even though they have carbs, a large portion of that is fibre so you are still pretty low on net carbs. As a matter of fact, vegetables are really important on a ketogenic diet

I learned that my biggest mistakes on a ketogenic diet were consuming too much protein and not eating enough greens. I now make a HUGE salad of spring mix and kale for my dinner with adding about 4-5 ounces of protein and a lot of homemade keto dressings. It is what I do almost everyday now. It was very easy for me to over do it on the protein. I have now removed the excessive amounts of protein from my diet and replaced those calories with fats in the form of grass-fed butter, ghee, tallow, and coconut oil. I also cut out cheese and most dairy. I lost about 70 lbs. on this diet and no longer have pre-diabetes or high triglycerides. I am very happy with my results.

OMG this video makes me want to quit before I start

I started Keto 10 days ago, lost 8 kgs, my waist size was 36, now 34 ... weighed around 180 pds, now 165, aiming for 145 in 50 days ...I am east Indian...this is what I am doing .... I eat daily an egg at 8 am .... 2:30 pm - lunch (omlette - 2eggs, some protein (fish/chicken), salad (kale+ spinach, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes) with Ovacado ranch and thats it. I am exercising twice a day for 1 hour (burn ~600 cal and occasionally 750 cal per session). First two days might be difficult...after that, it becomes a routine and you will be in the zone. Good luck everyone... do not give up watching this video. The key is Adapt to your body...everyone is different. BTW..as an East India...staying away from rice and wheat has been the hardest... :(
