What Is The Keto Diet & Ketosis

May 24, 2021

Ketosis is natural for everyone. It is the adaptation to use ketones, not sugars, for energy, especially in the brain. 

As you burn fat, fat [by-products] can be converted into ketones (but does not happen for everyone all the time)

A "KETO DIET" does not guarantee ketosis.

Fat adaptation does not mean you are automatically adapted to producing and/or using ketones.

As a professional Ironman Triathlete I was very fat adapted, and very aerobic, and yet I experienced situations during/post races where I bonked because I had low blood sugar and was not adapted to producing/using ketones.

In this episode I clear up a few things

* Confusion around ketosis
* Confusion between ketosis and keto diet
* Confusion between needing to choose one diet
* And lots more!

And I answer questions from my Instagram - follow me @petejjacobs so you can ask a question next time :)
