Consistently getting into a state of Ketosis helps you to maximize brain function and start using fat for energy. That’s why we’re talking about two books that have amazing information revealing how you can get into a state of ketosis for higher levels of performance.
99% of American’s are sugar burners. They utilize sugar for energy and that keeps their hormones dysregulated, causing cravings and stress. We’re going to talk about how to get you out of that and why it’s so beneficial.
Here are just SOME of the benefits of getting into fat burning state:
- Appetite and hunger control due to balancing hormones
- Effortless weight loss (for people that don’t lose weight, it’s hormone and need consultation here)
- Mental clarity and increased brain performance
- Sounder, more restful sleep
- Optimize metabolic function
- Lowers inflammatory markers
- Restores normal blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity
- Increase in HDL
- Lowers triglycerides
- Increased feeling of happiness and wellbeing
- Eliminates heartburn
- Increases fertility
- Prevents brain injury (especially if your just had an accident… ketosis is essential!)
- Improves immune system function
- Decreases mood swings
- Creates all-day energy
The first book I talk about is Keto Clarity: Your Definitive Guide to the Benefits of a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet; an amazing book by Jimmy Moore and researcher Dr. Eric C. Westman
You can typically get into a ketosis state with less than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day with a focus on consuming healthy fats, proteins, and vegetables.
We talk about all the amazing options (that work and taste great) as well as some more guidelines to getting into a ketonic state.
Where most people fail:
#1 - To many hidden sugars in the diet.
#2 - Eating too much protein. (we talk about specific guidelines around the 15 minute mark)
#3 - Not enough healthy fats
How can you tell if you’re getting into Ketosis?
Two tools that will help is The Precision Xtra Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System (only $30 on Amazon at the link) or Ketonix. Urine strips are not accurate to measure ketosis.
One thing to know is - You have to give this process 2-6 weeks to take affect.
The second book we cover in this episode is The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable by Dr Stephen D. Phinney and Dr Jeff S. Volek.
This type of diet has massive effects on the body:
- Drives down inflammation so you recover faster
- Decreases need for glycogen within muscles and liver
- Increases use of fat in the long term
Please share this information with your loved ones, your team or your firm. It will add a ton of value to their lives.
If you’re interested in getting a customized health program tailored to you, then you can work with myself or Dr. Accurso by clicking the appropriate link.
Note that the entire process of working with me is going to be more of an investment than it would be working with Dr. Accurso.
