Hey guys, I'm back and today we're going to answer the question is keto 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 keto is a high fat diet and ketones are acidic. So yes, you're going to lose weight, you're going to feel great, but this is a high fat diet, and ketones are acidic.

So yes, you're going to lose weight, you're going to feel great, but then you're going to

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. 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 there are 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.
