Okay, so I have this confusion that keeps coming up over and over and over again

0:04.2

So I'm just going to create this one video and I'll probably just send it out to people that ask this question

0:09.8

What specific food will knock them out of ketosis?

0:12.4

So I just wanted to do a video on the background

0:14.5

So then you can answer this question yourself. There's really three scenarios that I want to kind of cover just to kind of clear up things
