In this video I'm going to talk about the ketogenic diet basics, how to start keto correctly, and intermittent fasting.

What is the ketogenic diet or ketosis?
• Ketosis means you're in a state of fat-burning.

• When you get into ketosis and fat-burning, the fat breaks down into what are called ketones. The body can use ketones as an alternative fuel source. This is a much better fuel source than sugar fuel.

• The Healthy Keto diet is a version of the regular ketogenic diet based on a principle where you have to "get healthy first, then lose the weight." "Get healthy" refers to eating healthy, high-quality foods that provide all of the nutrients your body needs.

What is intermittent fasting?
• Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating and not eating. Instead of doing 3 to 6 meals a day plus snacking, you're eating less frequently. This is important because every time you eat, you raise a hormone called insulin. Too much insulin is very dangerous for the body. With the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting, we're reducing the excess insulin.

How to lower insulin?
• Consume fewer carbohydrates (sugar, refined carbs, grains, pasta, cereal, biscuits, waffles, juice, alcohol, etc.)

• Eat less frequently

Symptoms of high insulin:
• Belly fat
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Fatigue (especially after eating)
• Decreased cognitive function (lack of focus, poor memory)
• Moodiness (irritable, depressed, grouchy)
• Cravings
• You're hungry all of the time (especially in-between meals)

Benefits of the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting:
• Weight loss
• Reduced inflammation
• Supports cognitive function
• Supports mood
• Making the body function better
