| 0:00.0 | Hey, guys. I had another question from someone that wanted to know why aren't I losing weight when I'm taking exogenous ketones? |
| 0:06.8 | Well, that's because exogenous ketones could actually slow down your weight loss. Let me explain. |
| 0:13.0 | So ketosis is a condition where the body is turning your fat into ketones, which is an alternative fuel. |
| 0:20.7 | And there's two ways that you can have ketones in the urine. One is by taking |
| 0:27.0 | ketones. Two is by getting your body into ketosis, so you burn your fat, and then it turns into ketones. |
| 0:35.0 | Okay? And that means you'd have to do the diet part. |
| 0:38.1 | So when you have ketones in the urine, you can call the ketosis, but it absolutely does not mean that your body is |
| 0:43.8 | burning fat, which is turning into your those ketones. So let me just get into the simplicity of this. Okay? It's really simple. |
| 0:50.5 | Can ketones help you get into ketosis? Yes. Can ketones taking them? |
| 0:57.0 | Help you lose weight? No, because it bypasses your own body's ability to make your own ketones. |
| 1:04.3 | And when you're taking external ketones, your body is going to be using those as fuel instead of your own ketones. |
| 1:11.9 | 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. |
| 1:21.4 | Thanks for watching. |
