Nutritional ketosis is obtained solely through the limitation of carbohydrate macros. By sticking to your Keto Macros & following a low carb diet, your body will naturally begin to utilize fat to produce ketones due to the lack of glucose from carbs.

Protein macros should be enough to at least maintain the lean mass (muscle) your body already has. Gains require more protein. Don’t be a “gains goblin” & harm your metabolism with a diet low in protein. Protein feeds muscles. The more muscle, the more calories your body will naturally burn on its own. Just because you & that muscle exist.

Fat loss is dependent on how many grams in fat macros are being consumed. The body doesn’t just lose fat. It taps into those fat reserves to burn it as fuel, ketones. Yes, you can achieve & maintain ketosis with a high fat diet, as long as it is also low carb. Because low carb is the only requirement to be ketogenic. But high fat is not necessary for weight loss. If the body follows a high fat diet, then it will prioritize the newly consumed fat before it turns to that stored body fat.

Ketogenic Lifestyle

  • “The science tells us that obesity is ultimately the result of a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric one—specifically, the stimulation of insulin secretion caused by eating easily digestible, carbohydrate-rich foods: refined carbohydrates, including flour and cereal grains, starchy vegetables such as potatoes, and sugars, like sucrose (table sugar) and high-fructose corn syrup. These carbohydrates literally make us fat, and by driving us to accumulate fat, they make us hungrier and they make us sedentary. This is the fundamental reality of why we fatten, and if we’re to get lean and stay lean we’ll have to understand and accept it, and, perhaps more important, our doctors are going to have to understand and acknowledge it, too.”

    Gary Taubes Author: Why We Get Fat
  • “Now fast forward to the present. The United States is currently re-assessing a 3-decade, uncontrolled experiment in which carbohydrates were lauded and fats demonized. Concurrently we have become one of the most obese countries in the world. And across the globe, tragically, indigenous peoples with historically low carbohydrate intakes now have extremely high prevalence rates of obesity and type-2 diabetes (e.g., the Gulf States in the Middle East, Pacific Islanders, First Nations in Canada, and Australian Aborigines).”

    Dr. Jeff S. Volek, Ph.D., R.D. Co-Author: The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living
  • "When you go on a weight loss, ketogenic diet, you can eat less fat on your plate because you’re burning the fat that comes from your inside. It comes from your love handles and hips and so on. But if that person's loses weight and decides to stay on low-carb as a maintenance diet, in order to become weight stable, they need to eat a considerable amount of fat now, in other words, they need to increase their fat intake, which should work fine, because by now, their body should be very efficient at burning fat."

    Dr. Stephen D. Phinney, Ph.D., M.D. Co-Author: The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance
  • “In just the past few decades, the rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses have gotten considerably worse. And do you know what’s most shocking about that? The spike in all of these ailments coincides almost perfectly with the implementation of the government’s Dietary Guidelines in 1980. Coincidence? I think not.”

    Jimmy Moore Co-Author: Keto Clarity
  • "Patience and persistence are an absolute must as you pursue ketosis."

    Dr. Eric C. Westman, Ph.D., M.D., M.H.S. Co-Author: New Atkins for a New You
  • "The most powerful medicine is at the end of your fork, not at the bottom of your pill bottle. Food is more powerful than anything in your medicine cabinet."

    Dr. Mark A. Hyman, M.D. Author: Eat Fat, Get Thin
  • “That heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer might be caused by the kinds of carbohydrates consumed in modern diets has also been the conclusion of many doctors and researchers who observed primitive populations as they began to eat these foods.”

    Nina Teicholz Author: The Big Fat Surprise
  • “In other words, the science itself makes clear that hormones, enzymes, and growth factors regulate our fat tissue, just as they do everything else in the human body, and that we do not get fat because we overeat; we get fat because the carbohydrates in our diet make us fat.”

    Gary Taubes Author: Why We Get Fat
  • "I am just telling people not to eat as many sugars & as many grains & if they do that they will lose weight."
