EXOGENOUS KETONES
- Keep your carb intake really low so your body will start buying into the whole ketones thing
- You DON’T need to be in ketosis to lose weight, for the record
- Hence, general NSNG is more sustainable
- Short-term particularly, cutting out sugar and grains is effective enough
- Exogenous ketones are ketones that you can actually ingest
- Ketone supplements are a more common name for this
- First served Navy Seals when they had to be in place for hours upon hours
- Tasted horrible
- So their body could start using its own fat to live because they didn’t know how long they had to be there
- Also, for deep diving to prevent seizures
- If you’re taking these, it probably won’t help you lose weight
- Don’t take these — cut out sugar or grains, or go into natural ketosis
- If you’re giving your body ketones, it won’t naturally go into ketosis based off of what food you’re actually eating
- A trend, more company producing these
- Don’t buy into it
- Preying on good intentions
