Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the

journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Hey guys. I had another question from someone that wanted to know why aren't I losing weight when I'm taking exogenous ketones.

Well, that's because exogenous ketones could actually slow down your weight loss.

Let me explain.

So ketosis is a condition where the body is turning your fat into

ketones, which is an alternative fuel. And there's two ways that you can have ketones in the

urine. One is by taking ketones. Two is by getting your body into ketosis so you burn burn your fat, and then it turns into ketones.

Okay? And that means you'd have to do the diet part. So when you have ketones in the urine,

you can call the ketosis, but it absolutely does not mean that your body is burning fat,

which is turning into those ketones. So let me just get into the simplicity of this. Okay,

it's really simple. Can ketones help you get into ketosis? Yes. Can ketones taking them

help you lose weight? No, because it bypasses your own body's ability to make your own ketones.

And when you're taking external ketones, your body is going

to be using those as fuel instead of your own ketones. So you really need to just do the diet,

cut the carbs low, get into ketosis from you causing that, and then there's the weight. Thanks for watching.
