It's possible that keto gives you more energy than other diets, especially high-carb diets. Here’s why.
In this podcast, we’re going to talk about keto and energy. I want to explain why you’re going to experience more energy on the keto diet versus another diet.
There is something called the Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle is an entire pathway from start to finish of how food fuel gets turned into and converted into the energy that the body uses called ATP. ATP is the energy currency that the body needs to get the job done. I’m talking about the millions of biochemical reactions that occur in the body.
The body’s fuel can’t use fats or glucose directly. It has two be converted through the Krebs cycle.
This all happens inside the matrix, which is inside of the mitochondria. ATP provides the energy to drive the biochemical reactions in the entire body.
You can use glucose as fuel, ketones as fuel, or even amino acids as fuel.
• 100g of glucose will give 8.7kg of ATP
• 100g of ketones will give 10.5kg of ATP

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I wanted to talk about why you're going to experience more energy when |
| 0:49.5 | you do a ketogenic diet versus some other diet, like a high-carb diet. I don't know if you remember in maybe |
| 0:57.7 | taking a biology class or even a biochemistry class in college, but there's something called the |
| 1:03.8 | Krebs cycle. And the Krebs cycle is an entire pathway from start to finish how food fuel gets turned into and converted into this energy that the |
| 1:16.3 | body uses called ATP. So ATP is the energy currency of the body. Very similar to you having a job. |
| 1:25.0 | Let's say you work for someone and you do a certain amount of work, and then they pay you |
| 1:29.2 | money. So that way you can use this energy currency or money to exchange with another person. In the body, |
| 1:36.2 | we use ATP as its energy currency. So ATP is the energy currency that the body needs to get the job done. And I'm talking about |
| 1:47.9 | the millions and millions of biochemical reactions that occur in the body. And once this ATP is |
| 1:54.8 | used up, it gets recycled to this and it kind of goes back and forth this way. It's very, very, |
| 2:00.3 | very efficient. So the body's fuel |
| 2:02.9 | can't use amino acids or fats or glucose directly. It has to be converted through all these |
| 2:09.0 | different steps right here. And this all happens inside this little energy factory right inside |
| 2:15.1 | here. This is called the matrix. It's inside the mitochondria right here. |
| 2:20.5 | So ATP provides the energy to drive the biochemical reactions in the entire body. |
| 2:27.3 | So you have glucose as fuel, you have ketones, you can even use amino acids that then go through |
| 2:33.9 | this machine. But check this out. |
| 2:37.3 | 100 grams of glucose will give 8.7 kilograms of ATP versus the exact same amount of ketones, |
| 2:47.9 | 100 grams, will give 10.5 kilograms of ATP. So as you can see, beta-hydroxybutyrate |
