KETO AND WEIGHT LOSS

• There was a study that came out that said ketogenic diet was not conducive to weight loss.
  • This contradicts much of what we know!
• From the medical community that implements this diet for medical purposes, even they agree that this diet is helpful for weight loss.
• Weight loss is a “side effect” of ketosis.
• Ketosis dampens your appetite.
• When you are eating ketogenic diet, you will feel more sated from less.
• You also stop eating less processed crap which is the stuff that makes you hungrier.
• Exogenous ketones: these are the ketones that you can consume in powder.
  • This can help get into ketosis without actually consuming that much of fat.
    • It’s better just to be in real ketosis, consuming lots of fat..
  • Exogenous ketones can help some, but others it has no effect.
    • Dr. D’Agostino did this experiment with rodents.
      • They were eating carb diets, and a good amount did not lose weight even with exogenous ketones.
        • Some were able to lose 15% body fat, but this was only in a few.
          • They are looking into why that is the case.
