Hey guys, I'm back and today we're going to answer the question is ketel, only good short term, okay?

And you see this like in the news and certain web articles where yeah, keto works, but only short term and

their rationale is because

ketos are high-fat diet and

ketones are acidic.

So yes, you're gonna lose weight, you're gonna feel great, but then you're gonna become too acidic and that is not healthy.

Okay, that's the argument. So let's just kind of cover some points about that. Well first of all, you have essential nutrients

like essential fatty acids, which by the way come from plant-based type diets and

they're essential, which means your body can't make it so it must get it from the diet, right?

So I mean these are acids, amino acids can come from plant-based type foods. That's an acid. Should you avoid all that?

No, these are essential, okay?

You also have

bacteria in your gut that make lactic acid. Should we just kill that out so we can actually prevent becoming

acidic? Certain parts of your body are acidic and certain parts are alkaline. Your stomach is very acidic, your large bowel is acidic,

your urine should be acidic for very specific reasons. So we don't want to

alkalize all the parts of our body, okay, and just focus on one pH. I mean they're a plant-based foods that are acidic.

Citrus is an acid, tomato is acid, pineapple is acid, and then you have

diabetics who develop acidosis because of

too much sugar. It's too much carbohydrate. They don't just consume too much fat. They get it from too much carbohydrate.

In fact, you can increase cortisol and have a lot of that stress hormone be active and

develop alkalosis, okay? So we don't want to go too far one way or the other.

So the bigger point I want to talk about is to differentiate between the traditional ketosis which was
