In this video, we’re going to discuss calorie counting on keto. People often wonder if calories matter on a ketogenic diet, and sometimes they do. It all depends!

The types of calories that you consume are what determine if you will gain weight. Not all calories are treated equally by the endocrine system, so they all affect hormones like insulin, cortisol, and growth hormone differently.

Carbohydrates trigger insulin and are used solely as fuel in the body. Protein can also trigger insulin if it’s consumed in large amounts. Lean protein causes a greater spike in insulin than fattier cuts of meat.

Protein is used for fuel but also to replace and rebuild muscles, hair, nails, and skin. Fat has the least effect on insulin. Similar to protein, fat is used for both energy and for tissues in the body including the brain, nerve tissue, and cell membranes.

If you’re on a ketogenic diet you should be consuming minimal calories from carbohydrates, a moderate amount of calories from protein, and a high amount of calories from fat.

There are some situations where you will need to count calories on a keto diet. For example, If you want to lose weight, but you have a slow metabolism, a thyroid problem, trouble sleeping, high stress, or you’re menopausal, you’ll want to lower your calories from fat.

You’ll need to consume more fat in the beginning while your body adapts to ketosis, then you can lower the calories from fat to increase weight loss. If you’re consuming too much dietary fat, you won’t burn your own body fat, even if you’re in ketosis.

Combining keto with intermittent fasting can also help to increase weight loss. Gradually going from 2 meals to 1 boosts weight loss, even if you have a slow metabolism.
