What Is The Keto Diet & Ketosis
from Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance · host Pete Jacobs
Ketosis is natural for everyone. It is the adaptation to use ketones, not sugars, for energy, especially in the brain. As you burn fat, fat [by-products] can be converted into ketones (but does not happen for everyone all the time) A "KETO DIET" does not guarantee ketosis. Fat adaptation does not mean you are automatically adapted to producing and/or using ketones. As a professional Ironman Triathlete I was very fat adapted, and very aerobic, and yet I experienced situations during/post races where I bonked because I had low blood sugar and was not adapted to producing/using ketones. In this episode I clear up a few things Confusion around ketosis Confusion between ketosis and keto diet Confusion between needing to choose one diet And lots more! And I answer questions from my Instagram - follow me @petejjacobs so you can ask a question next time :) For latest upcoming webinars, specials, updates and links click here Leave a review and feature on my instagram!
