Summary

Host Brad Kearns talks about his first failed attempt at keto (lasted 3 weeks doing really great, then a bomb-out at the Burbank Airport snack shop!), and how you can ensure that you are well-prepared for keto before struggling, suffering and backsliding. If you’re nervous about your metabolic fitness and whether you can handle the rigor of a ketogenic eating period, realize that any effort you make in the direction of fat- and keto-adaptation will improve your metabolic fitness and progress you closer to your goal of being a fat burning beast and further away from the disastrous state of carbohydrate dependency that the civilized world lives in.

Learning from your mistakes and detours, you will have heightened awareness of your behavior patterns. Then, you can build more natural, healthy resolve to stay keto-aligned in the future. Absorb the lessons offered, accept that you’re not perfect, let it go, and brandish your weapon once again by engaging in an intermittent fast, a fasted workout, and a sustained pattern of high fat, moderate protein, low-carb succession meals.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Mark Sisson.
0:03.3	Welcome to the Primal Blueprint Podcast.
0:05.7	It's time for another show dedicated to the world of keto.
0:09.4	Check out KetorReset.com for details about my New York Times bestselling book
0:13.5	and send your questions to info at KetorReset.com.
0:26.3	Okay, this show's called Are You Ready for Kido?
0:29.8	Let's get ready to rumble.
0:32.2	Yeah, are you ready?
0:39.4	It's a good topic because we don't want to mess around with this stuff until we are ready. I'll volunteer. I'll volunteer my story. My first attempt at Kido was in April of 2016. I made it three weeks,
0:47.1	and then I bombed out. It was at the Burbank Airport, gate A3. I was sitting there in a chair,
0:53.2	and I guess it was a busy trip and I was a little
0:55.8	fried and tired. And I just walked across the lane and went in there and just pounded
1:02.9	like all these different little bags of nuts and trail mix and everything they had. And it was
1:07.8	just sort of a drop-off after actually feeling pretty good for three
1:11.3	weeks as I entered this restrictive period where I took my carbs down from probably in the range of
1:18.5	100 to 180 per day, something like that, nice and primal aligned as I'd been for many, many years,
1:25.8	eight years going at that time. And I thought I could do
1:29.1	it pretty easily. And as soon as I did, I felt great. I wasn't hungry. I got all those benefits that you
1:34.0	hear when you're in ketosis where your energy is normalized. You don't have a big appetite. You don't
1:40.8	have a big desire to binge on sugar, you just carry on with that wonderful
1:46.0	fat and keto-adapted state. But I think what was happening possibly was as I continued my
