So this video is for those people that are new to keto, that are considering it.

If you had a friend tell you a little bit about it, you're not sure about it, you're doing some research, this video is for you.

Now there are several reasons why you need to do the ketogenic diet and one of the reasons is longevity.

Any time you do a diet you have to think long term is this sustainable, okay?

Most people go off diets because of the cravings and one of the most powerful things about the ketogenic diet is it will get rid of your cravings.

You have no cravings, you'll be able to do it long term.

We live in an environment that is so tempting with the breads and pasta and cereal and crackers and biscuits and all these things.

And if you're craving these things, forget it, you're not going to be able to stick to it.

The next major point is does it get results? Does it work?

Yes, it does work and it gets results in a big way because it corrects the very reason why you're overweight in the first place.

People are overweight because they have too much insulin in the body, okay?

And doctors never test this hormone, they're checking your blood sugars.

If you were to get a fasting insulin test, you would find that this would be too high.

Insulin is a fat making hormone. In the presence of insulin, you can't burn fat.

So what Keto does is it finally corrects this hormone so you can get in fat burning, speed up the metabolism and get rid of that

a stuck set point, which is that weight that you can't seem to get below no matter what.

All right, next point, is it actually safe? Maybe you've heard that ketogenic diet is a high fat diet, right?

And eating all the fat might clog your arteries and cause a heart attack.

But the ketogenic diet is not a high fat diet.

What makes a ketogenic diet work is not the higher fats, it's the lowering of the carbohydrates.

I'm not talking about vegetables. I'm talking about the sugars.

There is a version called dirty keto, which pretty much you could eat whatever you want as long as you keep your carbs low.
