Slide 5 William So, what is step three of transitioning onto the ketogenic diet? Well in step three we will be talking about how we know if we are in ketosis by monitoring our ketone levels. To know wether we are in ketosis we must monitor our ketone levels as we transition into the ketogenic lifestyle. Different people get into ketosis at different levels of carbohydrates. Some can get into ketosis with as much as 50g of carbohydrates a day while other people need to cut back to less than 20g or even 10g. It is just an individual thing and there is no real hard and fast rule with the amount of carbs a person can consume. The 50g or less is generally what the majority of people get into ketosis with. The amount of carbs we eat determines how much fat will be burned. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the liver produces ketones to be used as energy. During the early stages of ketosis, the liver releases more ketones into the bloodstream. As the ketone level rises, so does the level of ketones found in the blood. These are known as free or available ketones, and the presence of these ketones in the blood is considered to be proof of ketosis. As we get further into ketosis the amount of free ketones reduces as our body utilises more of them. In order for our body to produce ketones, we need to lower the amount of carbohydrate intake. The body cannot turn glucose into ketones, so when there are no carbohydrates present, the body turns to fats for energy. Measuring ketones in our body is a very useful tool. We can measure ketones in our blood, urine, or breath. Ketones are molecules produced by the body when we are on a very low- carbohydrate diet. Blood ketones are molecules produced by the liver and then distributed in the bloodstream. In fact, blood ketones are more accurate than blood glucose levels. The most accurate way to measure ketones is by using a blood ketone meter. A blood ketone test is used to measure the amount of ketones in the blood. Urine ketones are molecules produced by the liver and then excreted into the urine. Breath tests measure the amount of ketones in the exhaled air. These are a little bit less accurate than the blood test, but they are still good to know. So step 3 is to keep track of your ketones as you reduce carbohydrates, so you know the keto diet is working for you. Thanks Amelia, now we know if we are in ketosis and the different ways to measure our ketone levels. Now we need to know step four in your five steps to getting into the ketogenic diet.

It is highly advisable to take these steps to transition onto the keto diet. I am going to explain why you should do this. So, Amelia what is step number two of Getting on the ketogenic diet? Well we need to drastically reduce or eliminate all the carbohydrates and processed foods from our diet, but do it slowly. This is also considered detoxing. The human body is an amazing machine. Our body has incredible systems that can repair itself, heal, grow and adapt. Most people ignore this fact. When we eat processed foods and sugar, we have created a toxic environment for our bodies. Many of the foods that we eat are filled with harmful substances that our bodies are not prepared to process. These chemicals and substances block the body’s ability to heal. This process creates a cycle of disease, illness, and distress. We must learn how to prevent this from happening. One of the best ways to achieve this is to remove all sources of sugar. The number one culprit to health is sugar, be that in any form. All carbohydrates break down into sugar, true some slower than others, but they are still all sugar at the end of the day. The lower we can get our sugar intake the better. It is best if we eliminate all the sources of sugar from our diet. We must avoid all forms of sugar, and not just those found in sugar- laden foods. If we are addicted to sugar, we will have to break this habit. Many of us use it as a reward or a way to calm ourselves down. It is no wonder that the average American consumes around 120 pounds of sugar every year. Most of us consume too much sugar in our diets. We do it because we like it, or we crave sweets. There are many ways to control our cravings for sweets. Grains are also a sugar. Grains are broken down quickly into sugar, not only that they also contain gluten which damages the gut lining. Grains are one of the foods that we eat everyday. We consume wheat, rice, corn and other grains. Most people believe grains are really a very good food. However, most people don't realise that grains are one of the main causes of obesity. One of the reasons why we gain weight is because our intestines can't absorb the nutrients from the grains. Another cause is due to the fact that the carbohydrates in the grains are converted quickly to sugar and the excess is stored as fat. If we want to lose weight, it is important to remove these foods from our diet. Gluten is another major problem. It is found in many processed foods. It is also a common ingredient used to make bread. Gluten is made up of protein molecules, the proteins are glutenins and gliadins. If we are allergic to gluten, it can cause a wide range of symptoms including diarrhoea and cramps. Some people think that the gluten-free diet is a solution to their problems. So step 2 is to remove all sugar, carbohydrates, grains and processed food from our diets, and do it sensibly. Thanks Amelia that was really informative. I did not even know about how bad grains were for us. What is the next step we will learn about? In step three we will chat about how we know if we are in ketosis and measuring our ketones.

It is highly advisable to take these steps to transition onto the keto diet. I am going to explain why you should do this. Hello Amelia what topic are we covering today? We are going to discuss step one of the five steps of transitioning onto keto William. Many people just rush into diets, all or nothing approach. This often ends in those people failing and thrashing a diet before giving it a chance. We are starting a new lifestyle here and our bodies need time to adjust to a new routine and with the ketogenic lifestyle a new primary source of fuel, ie fat. A few people have a bit of trouble adjusting to this new fuel and go through withdrawals of sugar and carbs. This is commonly and mistakenly called the Keto Flu, it is actually withdrawal from sugar and carb addiction. There are no magic pills for weight loss. We cannot just rush into a new diet and expect to lose weight, we need to let our bodies adjust. The best thing to do is to eat healthy foods, keep our portions under control and exercise on a regular basis. Carbohydrate-rich foods are the worst culprits, as they contain high amounts of toxins and are sugar. Sugar is addictive. If we continue to eat sugary food, it can not only make it hard to lose weight but cause weight gain. Carbohydrate foods cause a rise in blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels in turn cause hunger and cravings for more sugar. This can make us overeat and put on extra pounds, that’s why we have a yoyo effect with many diets. It is very important to make sure that we have enough protein and fat in our diet. Protein can fill us up and keep us feeling full longer than carbohydrates. Fat provides lots of energy and makes us feel fuller than even protein does. Obviously without over doing what and how often we eat. Most of the fat we consume comes from animal products. So step 1 is approach the keto diet sensibly and slowly. Really good advice there Amelia. So what comes next Amelia? In our next chat I will cover part 2 of this discussion, the reduction or elimination of carbohydrates and refined sugar. Thank you for watching.
