Summary

Host Brad Kearns gets personal discussing his varying commitment to keto and how loosening the purse strings here and there can become a slippery slope. When you relax standards like limiting food intake to a compressed eating window or allowing occasional indulgences for non-keto foods like popcorn, will power and decision fatigue enter back into the mix. Framingham Study data indicate that the lifestyle behaviors of your "clusters," the people who spend the most time with, is contagious up to three degrees. Obesity is contagious, as is maintaining a healthy body composition. Keto is contagious to your friend, as well as your friend's friend! This impresses the importance of accountability and group support to pursue goals together.

Finally, Brad describes the dangers of a rushed approach to keto, where jumping into a dietary transformation before you are metabolically healthy and fat-adapted can cause big trouble; namely, an overstimulation of the fight or flight response leading to burnout and regression. If you want to drop excess body fat, first you must become metabolically healthy (heal leaky gut), then become fat-adapted. If you have to eat a lot of fat out of the gate, that's fine. Then you can transition to skipping meals and burning off excess body fat. This is a great show to get you motivated on some of the social and motivational factors behind succeeding with keto. Even Brad's morning cold plunging gets a cameo!

0:51.3	freestyle wrap, because I put myself in a trap, didn't have too many
0:56.8	questions, so it's time to offer some reflections. I've been thinking about keto dietary
1:03.0	strategies overall quite a bit lately, talking to a bunch of my enthusiastic, healthy living friends of a similar age group, that being the
1:15.1	50-plus and our desire to keep going, man, keep things strong, don't sag and drag into the
1:22.2	steady decline that is old age. I've been working on this keto longevity book with Mark Sisson and trying to convey
1:30.3	a comprehensive approach to living long and living awesome. Why are we covering the topic of
1:36.3	longevity? Because we've pretty much said everything we can possibly say about the nuances and
1:43.3	the particulars of the ketogenic diet, particularly with the
1:47.1	keto reset diet, that multi-stage approach where you prepare yourself properly to go keto
1:53.0	rather than jump into it. So freestyle wrapping here, I've been having some other reflections.
1:58.6	One of them is the benefits of being
2:02.1	zoned in and focused on a particular dietary strategy to promote health is you kind of
2:08.0	eliminate that impure and unhealthy influence of modern culture, where we have the indulgences
2:16.3	and the temptations and the marketing forces pushing us to
2:19.6	consume products and engage in behaviors that are unhealthy.
2:24.6	You're tempted by dessert, by the dessert tray.
2:28.4	And the waitress even says, can I tempt you with the dessert tray?
