Summary

Host Brad Kearns walks you through Chapter 1 of The Keto Reset Diet—the what, when and how of keto. First, resetting your metabolism to ditch carb dependency. Then doing some fine-tuning to improve your metabolic flexibility. Finally, a six-week immersion into nutritional ketosis. Keto is the default human genetic factory setting; we have likely spent more time in keto-mode over the past 2.5 million years, because carbohydrates were never abundant until civilized times, and often regular calorie consumption was not assured either.

Brad explains that if you do the journey correctly, there will be no struggling and suffering involved, because you will be getting a nutrient-dense diet. Regarding the widely-touted 50 grams of daily gross carbohydrate intake limit for keto, you can discount the contribution of avocados, leafy greens, and other high fiber above ground vegetables, since they have minimal net carb contribution. Brad talks a bit about blood testing and the surprising phenomenon of highly fat- and keto-adapted individuals delivering low blood values even with lots of fasting and keto-aligned eating. Also, the meters can be wildly off, as you can see at the @BradKearns1 Instagram account. Check out the post of 3 different machine readouts from the same blood prick showing wildly disparate numbers—from pre-diabetic to hard-core keto stud. All in all, a good overview of what the Keto Reset journey is all about.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Mark Sisson. Welcome to the Primal Blueprint Podcast. It's time for another show
0:06.9	dedicated to the world of keto. Check out KetorReset.com for details about my New York Times
0:12.7	bestselling book and send your questions to info at Ketorreset.com.
0:27.8	Hi, listeners. Let's overview chapter one of the keto reset diet. The title is the keto reset diet 101, the what, why, and how. So we're trying to just give you an overview of
0:34.7	the important concepts and the philosophy about going keto the right way with the
0:41.4	keto reset approach, resetting your metabolism back to zero essentially, getting away from that
0:46.9	carbohydrate dependency pattern that we all suffer from to one degree or another if we've been
0:53.1	immersed in a Western diet for a long period of time.
0:56.4	A little bit of the science that we'll get into in way more detail in future chapters.
1:01.3	But this is just set in the tone for this incredible journey that we are taking with the keto reset,
1:06.8	with the ultimate goal of developing metabolic flexibility, and that is the ability to burn
1:14.3	different fuel sources and not be dependent upon regular meals, especially high carbohydrate meals,
1:20.8	as your primary source of energy. So when you're able to burn stored body fat and manufacture
1:26.5	ketones as a consequence of being highly fat adapted and burning stored body fat and manufacture ketones as a consequence of being highly fat adapted
1:30.1	and burning stored body fat at an accelerated rate rather than having the carbohydrates
1:35.4	from diet coming in there and interfering and preferentially burning glucose as your main fuel
1:41.8	source. When you become fat adapted and you need a little bit
1:45.4	of glucose, very important for assortment of daily metabolic functions, you will make ketones
1:51.9	as a byproduct of fat metabolism in the liver and they burn in the body just like glucose. So you
1:58.0	become free from carbohydrate dependency, free from your dependency upon
2:03.0	regular meals for energy, and once and for all, putting to rest, putting out to pasture,
2:09.7	this horribly distressing challenge that we've had to endure our entire lives, and that is to
