Hi, so i've been on a high protein keto + IF diet for a little over a month and my keto strips are as purple as ever. does this mean that im not fat adapted? I can actually go almost 2 days with very little calories, i still have energy and good brain function but i do get cravings. so im a little confused if im just getting used to it or if im fat adapted?

@@lordnixon7512 Funny you should ask that, my wife and I were just talking about loose skin this morning. First, it’s far better than the alternative of having the same skin stretched over a fat balloon. Second, it’s not as bad as I thought (especially since I’m 54), I seem to be the only one that notices or cares. Finally, there are 2 things I do that I believe helps slowly along the way: intermittent fasting and I consume quality, homemade bone broth everyday. Good luck to everyone!!

Thanks for the info! I've been keto/carnivore about a year and assumed I was fat adapted, however about 5 months into it I got a keto mojo and was rarely in "ketosis". Ketones around .3 to .6 and glucose around 90 after 14 hours of fasting. I was a bit discouraged but instead of quitting the lifestyle I just quit testing, lol. I'm a few pounds below goal weight so I wasn't worried about it. For me this lifestyle is about my addiction to carbs, so I will not eat breads or pasta (not even the "keto" replacements).

Thomas, I couldn't figure out the mct oil problem. The first time I took mct oil, I used the recommended scoop. I'd been serious about keto for months at that point. I was LIT UP. I didn't understand. I was jittery, wired, needing to move. So the next day, I took 1/2 a scoop, never knowing that my reaction was good. I even asked people, recently, in different keto groups, but no one claimed to understand my reaction. Thank you. I've also been driving myself crazy trying to understand why my bg is way higher than before, but my A1c is still 6.5. Now I do. I eat almost 0 carbs, allowing a few from liver, bacon, and avocado. When I don't eat, my numbers are 140-160mg/dL but after I eat, I'm down to 110-130mg/dL. Thank you. I was wondering why my ketones were always 0.5-0.7 most of my day. Now I know.

I’ve been carnivore for 9 months, the last 3 months -dropping oxalates(with ALL the symptoms), my concern is: severe anxiety/depression suddenly appearing! I’ve never had a high anxiety depression ! My insides were jittery. I tried to exercise, got tired- thoughts got alarming ! Dr google, suggested that brain wasn’t fat adapted…..I checked vitals, I’d dropped a lb a day(so what ! -when I feel close to tears). My oxygen sat. Was 85%! I usually was 99% ! I was so miserable, wanted to drink vodka-anything to stop the blackness. Finally I decided to eat something….had no appetite- so I pretend I’m cooking for someone else - and usually partway thru cooking my appetite appears. So a roast beef sandwich with two slices of bread a dollop oh mayo, followed by apple slices. I’ve regained that weight, but my head is better ! So now what ? I’m 74, no gall bladder, cardiac stents twice, with arthritis/inflammation from my last motorcycle accident. I was very vegetarian since childhood . So avocados, white rice, and soaked rolled oats might be the least damaging items to add ?….. or …….I take only blood pressure meds- which I’m weaning down, stopped everything Rx, using various citrates (Mg, Ca, K) ……..40 years ago I was given psych meds- terrible experience-won’t use them!

Thomas, I'm not sure I am fat adapted, been on keto for 6 weeks and added IF actually the 2nd week because it felt right. I started out at 186 at 5' 10" so I'm not like the others here who lost 100 lbs+. Some may even ask why I needed to go on it in the 1st place. I went on it because I'm 55 and addicted to carbs. Before keto I could scarf down several pancakes at breakfast without thought and maybe 30 minutes later start raiding the cupboards for trail mix or granola bars (thinking it's healthy eating right). And at 186, that is close to my all-time high of 193 I set when I was 32. I didn't want to keep subtly gaining a pound here and a pound there and find out one day I'm 200 lbs. So that's why I'm on keto and after 6 weeks, I'm down to 174 with a goal of 165. Do I crave carbs? No, but my mouth waters a bit when I see cake in the store. I will say this, I have to take it easy on the substitute sweeteners like monk fruit because they are too sweet for me. Instead of one packet in my coffee, I use half. I drink Le Croix and if I drink a diet coke, I have to look at the can for a moment because it's too sweet to be diet coke. So I don't drink too many of those - maybe 1 a day. Keep up the good work! I'm an engineer by trade so I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to science and the way you cover things is very intriguing. I'm trying to get my wife to think about keto but so far she has her defenses up. I was hoping I would be the proof. Maybe if I lose a few more pounds. It would make meal prep far easier if she were on it with me.

Very interesting topics today....cutting edge and right on target for the right information at the right time.

I also like your take on when to use MCT oil....that fat adaptation needs to have occurred and that fat metabolizing enzymes need to be present. I am curious about the term metabolic fitness and how quickly one can shift between using either MCT oil for energy or carbohydrates in large amounts for energy. Where is the balance between physical activity, the depletion of glucose stores and reinitiating whatever biochemical pathway necessary to use whatever you have available for energy...glucose ketones etc. Great stuff, keep it up and thanks for the information.

I knew about all the other stuff except the blood glucose issue. I noticed after 2.5 years of intermittent fasting, my glucose levels would be somewhat higher. Freaked me out at first. I used to be able 50 to 60 in a fast, now I'll test and be about 80 to 90 some days

Iono know about the craving carbs part. I just like bread in general, I used to eat whole bread loaves by themselves. I still like bread even if I'm not eating it.

Let me point out the only biggest issue here, your bottom right corner is our bottom left.🤣🤣 Rest of the video top notch 🤠🤠

I've been doing keto for about 3 months now and I think I've plateaued a little bit. I do anywhere from 16-20hr fasts daily and usually eat once a day a high fat meal and snack on peanut butter or almonds or something. (my schedule is pretty hectic). I usually stick to foods that are less than 5g carbs a serving (usually try for 3x fat to carbs or more). I don't crave carbs at all and I drink a ton water and black coffee. keto has become easy for me at this point but my weight has basically stayed the same the last few weeks. Am I not eating enough and that's why the weight loss has slowed? Or is it just my body finally adapted to the ketosis and just part of the process?

When in plateau I tend to cut fat a bit and focus on hitting my protein and that helps. If you've got fat to burn for fuel you don't need as much fat to keep feeling good. Hope that helps.

How does that high blood glucose level not cause harm to the body?

[@markj850]

On my normal diet my FBG used to be 3.8 ( 68).......now keto friendly, 30 grams carbs after exercise only, my morning FBG is 5.8 (105)....i was freaking out back then when I found out

Isn't peripheral insulin resistance a bad thing?

I CAN GO FEW DAYS NO FOOD . AND DONT FEEL HUNGY AFTER FIRST HALF HOUR IN THE MORNINGS. EVERTHING HE IS SAYING IS TRUE-IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET THERE- FOR ME ITS THREE MONTHS. YOU KNOW WHAT SUCKS-EATING AGAIN-I TEND TO FEEL WEIRD.

Thank you for this video.

[@paulf7106]

Thanks for the ketone strip testing so that was a waste of money

[@lottat6420]

I love how Thomas gives us options. Keto is terrible for me. My stomach is a mess, cholesterol gone up, my memory and sleep is significantly getting worse. But I'm inspired to try new things and IF seems to work for me, just not on keto.
