Will eating more fat knock me out of ketosis? The answer is no.
Dietary fat and ketosis will help:
• Boost your energy levels
• Fight off hunger and cravings
• Improve your mood
• Enhance your cognition and memory
Keto is a high-fat diet that consists of about 70% of your calories in fat. You need healthy fats to stay in ketosis.

| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I keep getting this question, so I'm going to create one video that answers the question very specifically, |
| 0:50.0 | will eating more fat knock me out of ketosis, okay? |
| 0:55.0 | The answer is, no, it won't. |

| 1:53.2 | It's an alternative type of fuel, |
| 1:55.3 | and your body actually loves ketones, |
| 1:57.6 | especially the brain. |
| 1:59.2 | You can get ketones from your own body fat or the dietary fat. |
| 2:04.0 | If you're doing too much of the dietary fat and your metabolism is slow, |
| 2:08.0 | your body won't necessarily need to use the body fat to turn the ketones. |
| 2:15.0 | So just because you've tested positive for ketones doesn't necessarily mean |
| 2:20.0 | you're going to lose weight. |
