Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate for you, so you must consult with your physician. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Fast Keto. I'm your host, Ketogenic Girl. |
| 0:05.7 | Did you know that your body can actually be either a sugar burner or a fat burner? |
| 0:12.0 | On this podcast, we talk all about how to make your body a fat burning fat-fueled machine |
| 0:18.0 | and engaging your full metabolic flexibility. I'm Vanessa Spina. I am a |
| 0:23.4 | sport nutrition specialist, a biomedical science student at U of T, and I am the author of the |
| 0:31.5 | best-selling cookbook keto essentials available on Amazon and creator of the Ketogenic Girl Challenge |
| 0:37.0 | program. And I am obsessed with |
| 0:38.9 | optimizing our health through all these different biohacks, ketogenesis, intermittent fasting, |
| 0:45.2 | all of these amazing tools that center around making the body a fat-adapted, fat-fueled machine. |
| 0:52.8 | With this in mind, I present interviews to you with biomedical scientists, |
| 0:56.6 | physicians, and people from all around the world who have experienced remarkable results from |
| 1:01.7 | following a low-carb or ketogenic diet and getting their body into ketogenesis. So I hope you |

| 1:30.7 | podcast that I did with Dr. Ted Neiman, she started increasing her protein percentage and lowering |
| 1:37.8 | her fat. And she lost 3% body fat in just two months. And in the six months prior to that had only lost one percent |
| 1:47.1 | body fat despite working out four to five times a week and eating mostly carnivore. So we had a great |
| 1:55.0 | time chatting about her results. What exactly she did, her exact sort of protein percentages and macros and her workouts and how effective |
| 2:05.4 | it was for her and it was really great to get to see her results and what a difference just |
| 2:11.8 | increasing that protein percentage made for her in a short period of time it's very similar to the results that I got when I did |
| 2:19.0 | my high protein experiment without even doing resistance training. But if you do resistance |
