Summary

The ketogenic diet is a way of eating that starves your body of carbohydrates so that you switch from using sugar and glucose stores as energy to using fat as your main fuel source - in this update episode I tell you whether it's easy to change your diet and become a natural fat-burner. The benefits, incidentally, aren't just about fat-burning and weight loss, with many health professionals suggesting the long-term benefits of eating a ketogenic diet are massive.

Much like intermittent fasting, habit number 6, immediate benefits are said to be better sleep, increased mental clarity and optimised endurance ability when exercising.

0:00.0	This episode of the podcast is brought to you in partnership with Sensodyne.
0:04.4	You may have heard in the podcast last week that I took part in a chill test with dentist Anita Sandu.
0:10.6	This is her area of expertise and she guided me through drinking ice cold water,
0:15.0	eating a slice of fresh apple and taking a bite out of a trock ice,
0:20.0	all with the purpose of learning about my teeth sensitivity. Now I knew I had some sensitivity but it was really helpful
0:26.1	learning from Anita the reasons why, the foods that can cause that sharp feeling of sensitivity,
0:31.1	and the changes I can make to minimize any discomfort moving forward.
0:35.0	Since the chill test I've been using Senser Dine Repair and Protect Toothpaste,
0:39.0	it's clinically proven to provide long lasting protection for sensitive teeth with twice daily brushing,
0:44.2	and is expertly formulated to generate a protective layer over exposed areas of your teeth
0:48.8	to help protect you from the pain of sensitive teeth.
0:51.5	So if like me you've struggled with sensitive teeth, go get yourself
0:54.4	some sensodyne repair and protect now.
1:08.6	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Emmagon show very glad to have you here to catch up on 26, it's 26 habits number 8, and that habit, my friends, has been
1:17.7	the ketogenic diet. Now, if you aren't familiar with what the ketogenic diet is, then it's broadly speaking, this is not the specific,
1:27.5	broadly speaking it is low carbohydrate, moderate protein, high fat, with the intention of putting your body into a
1:35.0	state called katosis, which for a crude analogy is like shifting your body from being a diesel-run car into being an electricity-run car
1:47.0	because instead of when you're in katosis, instead of using sugar, glucose and quick fuel, think paper on a fire to, for energy, your body uses your
1:58.4	fat store, so that's like using a big log on the fire rather than just burning a bit of kindling.
2:05.0	There you go, a couple of analogies for you, hybrid cars and open buyers.
2:10.0	What can I tell you? I try to simplify.
2:12.0	So I'm rambling because I have committed right from the very
