Summary

Host Brad Kearns addresses some of the common misconceptions and misinterpretations of the ketogenic diet, instead of describing how to do it right and enjoy lasting benefits. This is a syndicated presentation of a Facebook Live event. Join the Keto Reset Facebook Group for more Facebook live events

Most importantly, Brad relates a message from Dr. Cate Shanahan (author of Deep Nutrition and future podcast guest) that ketone production is triggered by the burning stored body fat, not ingested fat. Dang son, trip out on that revelation, for it will turn lots of the keto hype on its ear! When you eat any meal, or even snack on your keto approved treats, you essentially shut off ketone production. This negates the premise of the bacon and butter diet and the fetishes for high-fat coffee in the morning and fat bombs for snacks and treats. This is a little oversimplified, but it's helpful to reframe your perspective about keto to associated it with fasting, eating in a compressed time window, and eating in caloric deficit if you are looking to lose excess body fat.

We talk about people having difficulty reducing excess body fat and the importance of following the multi-step Keto Reset Diet approach, where you start with 21-Day Metabolism Reset, enter a fine-tuning period, and finally conduct a focused 6-week period of nutritional ketosis. Fun questions come in from the Facebook crowd to keep the show lively.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Mark Sisson.
0:03.3	Welcome to the Primal Blueprint Podcast.
0:05.7	It's time for another show dedicated to the world of keto.
0:09.4	Check out KetorReset.com for details about my New York Times bestselling book
0:13.5	and send your questions to info at Ketorreset.com.
0:30.9	And we are live. Hello. Keto Reset Facebook group. Let's pull up my questions and comments, because we got to set some things straight. I just had a great meeting and podcast with Dr. Kate to set things straight. Dr. Kate Shanahan, that is. And she delivered some extremely interesting insights countering some of the strange conventional hype surrounding the ketogenic diet.
0:58.8	So one of the things that was really mind-blowing was Kate's strong contention that
1:07.0	ketone production is a starvation process where the brain can receive a reliable fuel
1:17.7	source when calories are scarce. We also know when carbohydrates are scarce, but mainly it's a
1:24.5	starvation process that is generated by the burning of stored body fat,
1:31.0	as opposed to ingested body fat.
1:34.3	As you can read in the keto reset diet, a single ketogenic amino acid is responsible for triggering ketone
1:42.1	production, or we called it a single liver hormone known as FGF21.
1:49.7	It's responsible for the oxidation of fatty acids into ketones in the liver.
1:54.9	When glucose levels are high, ketone production is suppressed, same with when insulin is high.
1:59.9	The body deems it unnecessary to go to the trouble of making ketones because of the abundance of quick-burning glucose.
2:07.7	While almost everyone is making a little bit of ketones by the time they awaken,
2:11.1	that's the consequence of not eating overnight.
2:13.7	The ingestion of a single high-carbohadrate snack a meal will abruptly shut down the fragile ketone
2:18.3	assembly line while glucose takes center stage. As I learned in more detail from talking to Kate,
2:24.9	if you eat anything, you get an insulin response, even fat, although the insulin response is delayed
2:32.0	a couple hours, and that possibly is the insulin coming from
