Dr. Berg answers the question about Exogenous Ketones and not losing weight. Exogenous ketones can actually slow down your weight loss. Ketosis is a condition where the body turns fat into the alternative fuel, ketones. He also talks about two ways to have ketone in the urine.

2 Ways to Have Ketones in the Urine

• Taking Ketones

• Getting your Body into Ketosis (Diet Part)

When you have ketones in the urine, you could call it ketosis but it absolutely not mean that the body is burning fat which is turning into those ketones.

Can Ketones help you get into ketosis? YES.

Can taking Ketones help you lose weight? NO. Because it bypasses your body’s ability to make your own ketones.

0:36.0	Hey guys, I had another question from someone that wanted to know why aren't I losing weight
0:41.0	when I'm taking exogenous ketones? Well that's because exogenous

1:01.0	One is by taking ketones. two is by getting your body into ketosis, so you
1:07.6	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

1:26.0	Can ketones help you get in the ketosis? Yes. Can ketones taking them help you lose weight?
1:34.4	No, because it bypasses your own body's ability to make your own keytones.
1:40.2	And when you're taking external keytones, your body is going to be using those as fuel instead of your own ketones.
1:48.0	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.
