    I drink multiple cups of coffee per day and use whole milk in them. I have ketone strips that I use daily and I remain in ketosis. The autophagy question is a good one as I have never tested for glucose or insulin. Since August I have lost 68 lbs with 30 more to go. I eat twice a day in a 6 hour window. I'm 71 so that has to be factored in too.

    OMG Ken you are glowing. You look so very much younger, your skin is looking so healthy. Thank you 2 FIT Docs and God bless you for doing these inquiries. They do answer real questions that so many of us have. especially those who are seriously insulin resistant., those of us who have done keto for any length of time, and for those of us who stall and need to find out/ investigate just what is actually working against us. I so appreciate that you two are TWO DIFFERENT TYPES. This is unlike many other UA-camrs who share just what works for them. We are all so very different! I agree it is all about if you are IN or OUT of 'FAT~BURNING' mode. God bless your journey and Keto-On! , From MN with luv- g

    You 2 seem like wonderful people and you have great info in your videos. The haters are just not reading Keith's mug. I am down about 14 lbs this past month and feel great by eating as few carbs as possible and not shying away from fat. I also try to stay around 1500 calories (1400-1800). I don't follow a strict IF routine as it doesn't seem as though I need to... yet. But I try to put off "breakfast" as long as possible. I usually end up eating around 11:30am. I was pleased to see these results as I do put a little whole milk in my coffee in the morning. I'm guessing, although not sure, that this would not be much different than half&half. Thanks guys.

    Thanks for doing this test. I use whipping cream in my coffee but sometimes I can't get it and this is good to know. The one thing I like about whipping cream over half and half is that I feel I can get a more satisfying cup of coffee with a lot less whipping cream then I do with half and half. In other words I find I've got to put more than two tablespoons a lot more in order to get a really nice tasting coffee. Thanks

    1. I HAVE to get a glucometer 😄
    2. I also have a very stubborn insulin problem. And Dr. Keith's results were important to me.
    3. I CAN intermittently fast with the bulletproof coffee.

    Fantastic! Thanks for suffering through the finger lances for us! I'm in Australia and most of the milk (equivalent to your half and half) is made incorporating what the dairy industry calls "permeate" That's the waste after they remove the milk fat and that is often put into our milk. As a consequence, the milk sugar (ie lactose goes up from 8-14% in raw unpasturised milk up to over 24%) I have a friend working in a dairy lab and the highest he saw was ....38% lactose... (the government stepped in but it still happens) Everyone here pushes low fat! Is it any wonder there are so many people suffering from lactose intolerance!

    • @davidivers9295
      @davidivers9295 5 років тому +2

      Technically it will break a fast. 2 scoops has 70 calories and 18g of protein. It will probably not raise your blood sugar much because it has no carbs. Your body could convert some of the collagen into sugar through gluconeogennis. If you really want to fast, just drink h2o, teas and coffee without any additives, like cream or mct oil.

    Back of half and half says virtually no carbs, so your test makes sense. I finally invested in glucose/ketone meter.

    Hi suier fit docs. I trying to do keto since December 2018. I don't crave sugar or carbs anymore , I do eat eggs and chicken and mostly green veg . But I only have ketones higher then 0.3 when I'm nit eating for longer then 10 hours. When I eat eggs and avocado and let's say some cucumber and tomatoes my ketones will show 0.1. Sometimes I use erythritol in my almond pancakes. And I'm still not losing body fat. What is that I'm doing wrong ? I do eat twice a day. Some days when I'm really hungry I will have breakfast. All low or no carbs meals.

    When I drink black coffee no sweetener my glucose does go up by 5 to 10 points 😔
    Dr Boz says that the best way to find your insulin level is low is to divide your glucose reading by your ketone level anything below 80 is good and weight loss taking place but sometimes I have dawn syndrome my ketones levels are good always above 1.1 but glucose level is like 105 so her math application when I do shows I am above 100 so not in fat loss mode but have lost weight so can you explain your expertise on this ?
