So, today I want to talk about this myth that I hear a lot that you need to add more fat

to lose more weight, okay?

That's illogical, it's not going to help you lose more weight because what makes keto-keto

is lowering your carbohydrate, not increasing your fat.

If you increase your fat while your carbs are high, you will not get any ketosis, okay?

To get any ketosis, you must lower the carbohydrate.

The purpose of adding more fat is to replace the loss of carbohydrates and make it easier

to do this so you can go longer between meals and do intermittent fasting.

But I definitely recommend adding more fats when you start a healthy keto plan because

it makes it more comfortable.

Fats are very satisfying.

However, once you adapt to fat burning, okay, you can actually lower your dietary fats.

But what I'm talking about is not adding fats to your diet, just consuming the fats that

are normally in your diet with the protein.

So, I wouldn't necessarily want to add more MCT oil or add more additional fat than

you need because what happens is then your body will start using the dietary fat as your

ketones, okay, in the presence of low carbs and it won't have to go after your fat reserve.

But if your goal is to lose weight, we want to eventually kind of adjust the dietary

fat to the point where your body starts tapping into your own fat using this as calories

and not these as calories.

And realize it's not just about having a bunch of ketones in your urine, it's whether

those ketones are made from your fat or made from the dietary fat.
