🔴Live with Dr Boz: Ketones & Athletes

JOIN ME - each week I lead patients on a fast while continuing the ketogenic diet the rest of the week. #FastingAnywayYouCan

TOPIC FOR TONIGHT: What happens when you're an athlete?

- How can you work out when you're fasting?

- How to 'double fuel' on important performance days.

- What's the purpose of becoming fat adapted as an athlete?

- How NOT to 'Boink' during a tough workout.

WHY DO WE FAST:
-Improve the way your body listens to insulin
-Clean out more pockets of stored sugar in your liver and muscle cells (glycogen.)
-Surge hormones like growth hormone
-Trigger autophagy during the fast.

BE SURE you
1) Check your blood sugars.
2) Be in ketosis for 2-4 weeks before you fast
3) Have a reason for fasting ... [that does not mean weight loss.. a real purpose]
Every time I feel like giving up, I pray or meditate on the reason why I am fasting.

I never make it to 72 hours unless I have a really good reason for fasting. My best fasts happen when I am focusing on a patient & their journey.

Thanks for tuning into my channel.

BOOK-LINK - ANYWAY YOU CAN.

The two most common questions I get ...

1) "Doc, what BLOOD METER do you recommend?"

For years my diabetics told me this system was great. I tried several others before I bought this one. I can't count the number of times I have tested my blood only to get an ERROR message from the strip. Grrr. I hate that. FORACARE gets my vote because it is accurate and takes only ONE test strip to get the results. YES!!

2) "Doc, which Ketones-In-A-Can (aka exogenous ketones, BHB) do you recommend?"

I don't recommend these in everyone. I have times this is a great solution for my patients that are very overweight and trying to get used to burning ketones for fuel. All keto supplements should have magnesium in them. This one does.
I own this Dr Boz brand and the Dr Boz supplements.

I've been LCHF for 3yrs now I lost my first 50lbs at 50 and intermitten fasting daily for 2yrs and maintaining my loss with LCHF also.My mom was diagnosed with a motor neuron simular to ALS in September.I've been talking to her and planting seeds in her about lchf that it could help her anyway I've been fasting for her daily about this and about her relationship with God and I went to her last Friday she told me that she had rested so much better the night before and I asked her did she take anything she said no and she told me before she went sleep she said a prayer! That just filled my heart with joy! Plz keep my mom in your prayers.Thank u for all you do!

I've switched to 80% fat, 25% protein, and 5% veggie carb diet for the past 3 weeks.  My skin and mental clarity are the biggest differences I have noticed so far.  Oh yeah, my sleep has greatly improved also.  I exercise a lot so I haven't attempted the fast but finding this doctor on line and this diet has been a real game changer so far.  Thank you Doc

Hi Dr. Boz. Bonnie from New Jersey. I agree that having a focus while fasting truly helps. I find it more doable during a 24-72 hr fast if I have something or someone specific that I’m praying for. And no matter what it is, the prayer always gets answered! Keep inspiring us, you will be blessed beyond belief! Keto and fasting has saved me from many ailments like fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, COPD, asthma, depression.

Hello again Dr Boz. Thank you for another amazing video and feel good. Your thoughtfulness is beyond any measure. JP

[jackpepper]

Hi Dr Boz congratulations on having a family of three sons. I am certain you deserve an award for that. Your teaching ability is beyond any that I have ever seen. You deserve an award for that as well. After completing my first 24 hour fast ever my freestyle Precision Neo blood glucose monitor displayed a reading of 79.

Thank you so much for all your help. JP

Dr. Boz, this was extremely helpful to me as an athlete. You answered the exact questions I have been asking regarding my athletic training since I started researching keto a few weeks ago. As always, your technical expertise is impressive, and your ability to teach it and communicate it to laypeople is amazing and helpful. You really are helping people and making the world a better place. Thank you, thank you!!

Perth Western Australia again. A month into Keto at 76 and beginning to really adapt and feel good. I’ll start fasting in another few weeks when I’m sure I’m fully adapted. Thank you

Houston Texas. I finally got your book from amazon today! I can’t wait to read it. This is my third book on Keto. I’ve been watching your videos as suggested by a friend for my cancer. I’ve gotten more from your videos than the two books I’ve already read. Thank you for posting these.

[DarcyRusDevorahWallenLCSW]

Thanks, Dr. Boz. Thanks for the encouragement and the information. I"ve started intermittent fasting with high fats, veggies, and proteins. I am feeling great, thank G-d. I hope I can keep it up. THANKS!

[BuckthornStudios]

Dr., I fasted with you last week--for 4 days. I do a prolonged water fast now and then and it was time for this. Was motivated to hear you were calling others to join in. It helped. Been going strong with low carb and IF since July 4th, down 2 sizes and healing certain conditions. More to go. (born in S.D. :-))

[whatsup]

You are looking great a beautiful glow thank you 🙏 for all your good work you do.

[sandrasaunders]

and it was a very productive week! I am from Buffalo, NY
