Been low carb for 6 months... my goal is less than 25 grams a day... never felt like I was in Ketosis, so I never feel like I am out of it. No testing except for my diabetes daily test. Lost 60 lbs in six months. Off all my meds but one for my heart stents.
My husband and I watched your videos and lost a combined 50 pounds by going into ketosis. Even after getting out of ketosis we've been able to keep the weight off and have better eating habits with less sugar. Thank you!
*Wut IF I just Become a Greens OnLy VeGan!!!!???* *I am Eating ZERO ComPlete🔥Proteins!!!!* *Soooo, thereFore, I am Getting MY AuTophAgy,🔥RIGHT!!!!!????????*
The easiest way for me to find out if I'm kicked out of keto is overnight weight gain of 4-5 pounds. In the presence of carbs your body retains water again.
Weighing yourself every day, right after peeing in the morning is probably the most useful tool besides straight up measuring ketones. Your weight loss will be fairly consistent, even though it might stall a bit here and there. But yes, if you see a sudden jump in weight phenomena it's probably water retention due to getting out of ketosis.
I've got a bunch of fat to lose. I did keto and IF for 9 weeks, and added exercise 3 weeks ago. I noticed towards the end of that 9 weeks on keto I wasn't measuring ketones which I figured was because I became fat adapted. I also thought maybe it could be my body got too used to it. So last week I went off keto and ate at maintenance. I ate really bad. I started keto again this week and today (day 6) was the first time I registered ketones again on the urine strip. I lost 4 lbs from my weigh in two weeks ago. I know this isn't directly related to this video, but I saw another where you mention taking breaks and I want to thank you because I think it really helps. In the past I've hit plateaus and become frustrated and gave up, but when I saw I had lost 4 lbs more even after that horrible week, it felt good. I feel a lot more in control now. I wouldn't have been able to so easily go back on keto after that week off if i didn't have it in my mind that the week off of keto was actually a good thing and part of the long term goal. What has also been helping me is not weighing in as much. In the past when losing weight, I used to weigh in every week, but eventually I would end up having a really tough week where it was a struggle to keep going, but I did it, and was so proud for sticking through it. But then I get on the scale and I'm up a pound or something, and that would break me and send me off track. Now, as long as I track calories so I know I'm doing what i need to do, I weigh in every few weeks or so, just to guarantee I see that number go down to help me with the mental aspect.
Being pre-diabetic, it's so hard to recognise when it's working, because I'm normally thirsty & peeing all the time. But, hunger has all but disappeared. Wish there was a flare that fired off when you reach a ketogenic state! 😆👌
Hello Thomas! This was very interesting. It was very helpful having a video on signs and symptoms! Please do more of the same! Thank you for all you do!
i was allergic since i was a child, in older age it got worse, ambrosia killing me, pumps, cortisol. started keto in june, lost 20 kg and did not sneeze more than 10 times for the whole ambrosia season. amazing and much welcomed "side effect" of the diet.
Requesting a video from you about the best way to PURPOSELY come out of ketosis. You've recommended periodically taking a break from keto to increase your metabolic flexibility. I'm concerned about my body reacclimating to carbs again and how to not go too "carby" and/or what carbs are good to eat without being inflammatory (ie: wheat bread). Thanks in advance and for all the great info in your videos!
Eat a lot of protein and fat, which refills liver and muscle glycogen enough to lower ketone levels. The next day you should be in low ketosis so you're not insulin resistant and thus can consume carbs. The other method, I use this all the time, is eat sat fat+ protein 30+ minutes before a meal. This time period actually allows you to safely break ketosis (eating anything breaks ketosis when you go over a certain amount of nutrients). Then you should be able to eat carbs without fear. However, I would slowly test your "flexibility" there before jumping right into it
Start with low glycemic carbs (i.e. Sweet potato, squash etc.) As well as resistant starch(i.e. Cassava, green banana) Graduate to higher GI carbs at a rate that feels comfortable for your body.
Thanks for this. I have been doing keto since October last year. My last test via Keto Mojo showed .5 and I was dumbfounded. Now I get why. I appreciate you.
i kinda struggled doing keto at first but not long after figured out how i was in ketosis by my breath specially wearing a facemask ! my visceral fat is slowly disappearing and my overall health is for the better !
Also, this video had a lot of information regarding sort of cause and effect. I absorb things so much better when I know the "whys" of doing the things we need to do on keto when transitioning from the SAD.
YAAASSSSS!!!! I found myself sitting alone at my desk & clapping and saying "yesss! that is so true! mhmm! absolutely!" or other affirmations to each & every one of these!!!
For the LMNT the ratio of Sodium to Potasium is 5:1 when the RDA is 1:2. Same issue for Mg. If one is going to pay that much for an electrolyte suppliment, shouldn't it be in proper amounts? What do you do if you're out of ketosis and you're consuming less than 20g carbs a day? Am I eating too much protein for gluconeogensis?
I've been on carnivore for two weeks. I've been super faithful to the diet I have not slipped up. I went down a pants size. But I have absolutely no symptoms of being in ketosis 😵💫
1) Not urinating as often 2) Mild dry mouth kind of goes away (in turn not drinking as much water anymore) 3) Start getting hungry again 4) No more fruity breath 5) Brain fog 6) Irritable (moody) 7) Allergies return with a vengeance
So what do we do? Remain on a strict Keto diet for more than 45 days because it's not sustainable? Or have brekker like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper? Do we continue with intermittent fasting of 16 - 18 hrs or fast on alternate days? Do we cut off carbs totally or have it for 1 meal. I'm kind of confused.
Thomas , have you covered anything about yerba mate ? I'm curious about it regarding ketosis(autophagy) on an extended fast as it's a superior drink to tea or coffee
After starting keto i noticed i peed less, but when i start to pee more out of the blue, then i think hold on a min, am i slightly going out of keto. Other things include going a bit moody and a big give away, is my knees starting to hurt (my knee pain stopped with in a few day of starting keto). And i've never really been that thirsty since starting keto. Thanks for the vids :)
Didn't 44 hour fast and broke it with bean soup and a few refined carbs treats. Very limited. I'm plant based, love my carbs, so am curious how my body will respond to 55 grams of net carbs. Total CHO is 99 and with 44 grams of fiber with total intake of 770 calories. Wanting the fruity breath again.
I had scary MS symptoms for about 10 days and decided to stop keto. Jumped into it ~3 days later and have no keto flue symptoms. I also gained weight. Weighed 5 lbs less before REstarting keto. Can it be due to not drinking much water? Isn't coffee a diuretic? I do try to drink a glass of water after my coffee. I eat raw cabbage salad with other foods in it - 1-2 eggs, mushrooms, nuts, ~100 grams homemade dry cottage cheese, ~3-5 spoons oil. The salad is worth 700-800 calories. And before the salad it's MCT oil coffee=100 calories. Why am I in the plateau?
brother I have blood machine around. Can I check my ketones with that? Can I measure how much ketones I have by what my blood glucose level is? Plz plz plz want to know this.
Headache is a dead giveaway for me! Every time I’m kicked out I get a headache from hell when I’m trying to get back in. I also get some weird blur with my vision and definitely brain fog!
I pee 7-9 times a night even when obviously dehydrated. I drink a minimum of 2 quarts of water with a bit of salt and potassium. I cut myself off at 2p. My prostate is fine. Every body is different.
WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR BLOOD, IF YOU TRY TO MAINTAIN A LOW TO NO CARB DIET, THATS HIGH FAT AND PROTEIN, AND TEST STRIPS SHOW NEG KETONES DOES THE BLOOD GET THICK AND STICKY?
Damn these are spot on, I had a couple days where I ate potato chips and some biscuits and chocolate. I then got ravenously hungry, brain foggy, and asthma flared up
I don't think I've ever been in ketosis but how long would it take if I'm fasting every second day 20 Hour fast and having low carb keto friendly meals every other day?
I'm still in ketosis.... Keto rash :( Thomas, I've been reading that a simple fix to keto rash is to increase protein intake. It seems to work for me 75% of the time. Not sure when it fails if it's because I need more protein or just the source of the protein. I used to get keto rash 1-2 times per week. Now it's once every 3 weeks.
Emily from keto twins gets keto rash and the only thing that relieves it is bumping up the carbs a bit (still in ketosis) - she has found for her that only when she in deep ketosis does the rash appear.
Apparently the rash is to do with not having enough bile vs how much fat you're eating or excreting (makes sense it happens more on fasting days due to losing fat quicker). Taking bile salts fixes it, you could try drinking ACV 15 minutes before meals or on fasting days aswell, that alone may correct it as it increases bile also.
How do seasons affect ketosis. I find when it starts to get cold I don’t drink as much because I’m not sweating as much. And I’m barely able to take in much more than a quart.
Ketosis may not be the goal for some people using keto recipes. I’m more low glycemic inclined to lower my a1c. My doctor does not recommend keto as it is high fat. I see many keto influencers that are about weight loss. It would be great to see focus on low carb for better health. Jus sayin
Some people do. Some don't. I counted early on so that I had an understandingn of how much energy i was consuming. In the beginning, I could not trust my hunger signals to tell me when I was truly hungry, I got hunger signals all the time, so it was better to track calories. These days, after over 3 years, I'm able to feel true hunger and then eat until I'm satiated.

My best advice would be to match your normal caloric intake but incorporate moderate (not high) carbs
Try eating sweet potatoes. It's won't spike your insulin like bread
Start with low glycemic carbs (i.e. Sweet potato, squash etc.) As well as resistant starch(i.e. Cassava, green banana) Graduate to higher GI carbs at a rate that feels comfortable for your body.
Good idea

This kind of touches on the exact question I've been having lately regarding our body's waste.
Also, this video had a lot of information regarding sort of cause and effect. I absorb things so much better when I know the "whys" of doing the things we need to do on keto when transitioning from the SAD.
It's like your in sync with my life with these uploads, man. Great stuff as always.

Love your content. Looking into getting back into Keto and will be binging on your videos 🙏
For the LMNT the ratio of Sodium to Potasium is 5:1 when the RDA is 1:2. Same issue for Mg. If one is going to pay that much for an electrolyte suppliment, shouldn't it be in proper amounts?
What do you do if you're out of ketosis and you're consuming less than 20g carbs a day? Am I eating too much protein for gluconeogensis?
Very helpful thank you. The changeover from carb fuel to ketosis back to carb fuel is so subtle. I wish we had an internal alarm when it changes lol
Bro you're a genius. I figured this out on my own and you explained it to me 😊
This all happened to me last month after 3 years of keto....now on carnivore which righted my ship! This was a great video! 👍
Do we want to be permanently in ketosis? I'm trying to gain 10lbs of muscle over the next 2 years
This was very helpful. It clarified a lot. Thank you❗️👍🏻
Citrus salt is my favorite LMNT !
Thanks for sharing !
I've been on carnivore for two weeks. I've been super faithful to the diet I have not slipped up. I went down a pants size. But I have absolutely no symptoms of being in ketosis 😵💫
Maybe it varies. I never got keto flu or anything like it.
Good, no GREAT, vid Thomas. Actually reinforces in am still in ketosis after assuming the lifestyle and assuming I am in continuing ketosis…ty
Thank you thank you thank you for taking your time to educate and help us
1) Not urinating as often
2) Mild dry mouth kind of goes away (in turn not drinking as much water anymore)
3) Start getting hungry again
4) No more fruity breath
5) Brain fog
6) Irritable (moody)
7) Allergies return with a vengeance
Definitely ordering those free sample packs!!! thank you Thomas I will let you guys know how it works for me!!! I need these.
it’s so true when i’m on super low carb keto i pee sooooo often. especially because i drink so much water and black/matcha green tea.
Whenever i watch your videos, i feel like I am taking an advanced lesson for a master degree.
Looooove LMNT❣️❣️Flavors are great❣️❣️ Wanted to ask, how many packs can I drink a day? One, two? Can I drink too much?
So what do we do? Remain on a strict Keto diet for more than 45 days because it's not sustainable? Or have brekker like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper? Do we continue with intermittent fasting of 16 - 18 hrs or fast on alternate days? Do we cut off carbs totally or have it for 1 meal. I'm kind of confused.
Yeah I get hungry hours before my usual I.F. eating Window, you really do feel it for sure

Keto doesn't work for me - 3lbs in 14 weeks of keto & IF, any suggestions?
Didn't 44 hour fast and broke it with bean soup and a few refined carbs treats. Very limited. I'm plant based, love my carbs, so am curious how my body will respond to 55 grams of net carbs.

I get very hungry when Im Out of ketosis
Carbs how much is to much is my question…. Sugar how much is to much. I am 18/6 fasting but eating salads with meat…
Hey great information 👍🏾
Weird. Drinking lemon habanero LMNT as I was watching this, then BOOM! 😄👍
brother I have blood machine around. Can I check my ketones with that? Can I measure how much ketones I have by what my blood glucose level is? Plz plz plz want to know this.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
I can't fast and keep keto anymore! idk what to do. my weight is coming back and I can't stop!!? help!!
I upped my salt but I dont think Im drinking more. How much water should we be drinking?
LMNT is quite expensive compared to other electrolyte drink mixes.
i use the watermelonade from hydrant thats the only no added sugar and its till 2g carbs
Headache is a dead giveaway for me! Every time I’m kicked out I get a headache from hell when I’m trying to get back in. I also get some weird blur with my vision and definitely brain fog!
I pee 7-9 times a night even when obviously dehydrated. I drink a minimum of 2 quarts of water with a bit of salt and potassium. I cut myself off at 2p. My prostate is fine. Every body is different.

This is all PMS signs lol... so I guess pee strips or the keto breathalyzer might be a good idea.

I am thinking we are going to need a Thanksgiving Carb DETOX video . . . I am already dreading how I am going to feel.
Can you do a Halal Keto diet break down and or a grocery haul???
What sweetener is in LMNT?
I don't think I've ever been in ketosis but how long would it take if I'm fasting every second day 20 Hour fast and having low carb keto friendly meals every other day?
What type of salt is LMNT or does it matter?
It's NOT sea salt. A negative for me
I’m low calorie and keto. I’m pretty much hungry all the time until I eat and then I get full within 5 bites.
Can Insomnia / use of UNISOM kick you out of ketosis?

How do i know if im im ketosis??Most vids are from years ago
Strange, I'm feeling kinda low energy, foggy and hungryish... but the keto breath is going strong... So confusing!
I'm still in ketosis.... Keto rash :(

I've been struggling with keto rash too. Doing alternate day fasting + keto. The rash seems to flare on my fasting days. Just want it to go away.
Emily from keto twins gets keto rash and the only thing that relieves it is bumping up the carbs a bit (still in ketosis) - she has found for her that only when she in deep ketosis does the rash appear.

Just a thought,…..Couldn’t it be systemic candida dying off?? When they die you get rash
where is my euphoria is my awareness cue. So true about water.
I love the citrus flavors of LMNT!
How do seasons affect ketosis. I find when it starts to get cold I don’t drink as much because I’m not sweating as much. And I’m barely able to take in much more than a quart.
Why do I still have ketones in my blood after I stopped keto? Do I need to eat more carbs ?
Does this work for men over 50
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤very well explained thank you
8th sign..you are on your 4th bowl of rice...
My cousin went on the Keto diet and he died after just two days of it, so I do NOT recommend Keto diet.
I pee less on keto and darker!??? Any input would be helpful please! Also have gut issues and liver congestion!
does keto powder really work
Will Mr Pee Pee work correctly if in Keto?
I blood ketone meter will tell us for sure right?
In this case what should we do??!!
A 72 hr fast will definitely put you back in ketosis.
@@dirtyrotten2648 It's an overkill. Generally 16 hrs should do the trick if you are fat adapted.
Fruity would not describe my gf's breath.....whew !!!!! My breath smells fruity but her breath smells horrible
Yikes 😬
I’d try keto but it would interfere with my pizza intake.
I drank ACV and it kicked me right out of ketosis. What the heck happened ha.
Is it ok ty be out of ketosis if you don't need to lose anymore weight?
I have started keto diet recently. Been Pissing a lot, evertime I piss I pat my back.
Thank you
What is the discount code for butcher box?
Is Diet Coke?
Wait I thought you pee less a few months on Keto because the body has adapted to reduce insulin ?
That is what I’ve heard and read too. Humm 🤔.

lol #2 that ties into #1 which had to do with pee, #2 was not what I thought .lol.
the first two signs are kinda the opposite in my case
I lost 50 pounds just by watching your videos
Are we going to talk about the porta potty floating in space?
Lol, that was awesome 🤣
Sorry too fast and frantic delivery for me😢
Do you haave to count calories on Ketp
Some people do. Some don't. I counted early on so that I had an understandingn of how much energy i was consuming. In the beginning, I could not trust my hunger signals to tell me when I was truly hungry, I got hunger signals all the time, so it was better to track calories. These days, after over 3 years, I'm able to feel true hunger and then eat until I'm satiated.
I feel like I'm peeing more not in ketosis
Glucose tolerance reduces.
I need to call the cops!!!! I think someone broke into my house and took a dump in my mouth…..because I wouldn’t call my breath fruity…..
You can still lose weight not being in ketosis poeple...don't freak out!!!🙄🤔🤣
thx for the video 👍🏼
