Today we are going to chat about step three of five steps to transitioning onto the ketogenic diet.
It is highly advisable to take these steps to transition onto the keto diet.
I am going to explain why you should do this.
Good morning Amelia.
Slide 5 William
So, what is step three of transitioning onto the ketogenic diet?
Well in step three we will be talking about how we know if we are in ketosis by monitoring our ketone levels.
To know wether we are in ketosis we must monitor our ketone levels as we transition into the ketogenic lifestyle.
Different people get into ketosis at different levels of carbohydrates.
Some can get into ketosis with as much as 50g of carbohydrates a day while other people need to cut back to less than 20g or even 10g.
It is just an individual thing and there is no real hard and fast rule with the amount of carbs a person can consume.
The 50g or less is generally what the majority of people get into ketosis with.
The amount of carbs we eat determines how much fat will be burned.
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the liver produces ketones to be used as energy.
During the early stages of ketosis, the liver releases more ketones into the bloodstream.
As the ketone level rises, so does the level of ketones found in the blood.
These are known as free or available ketones, and the presence of these ketones in the blood is considered to be proof of ketosis.
As we get further into ketosis the amount of free ketones reduces as our body utilises more of them.
In order for our body to produce ketones, we need to lower the amount of carbohydrate intake.
The body cannot turn glucose into ketones, so when there are no carbohydrates present, the body turns to fats for energy.
Measuring ketones in our body is a very useful tool.
We can measure ketones in our blood, urine, or breath.
Ketones are molecules produced by the body when we are on a very low- carbohydrate diet.
Blood ketones are molecules produced by the liver and then distributed in the bloodstream.
In fact, blood ketones are more accurate than blood glucose levels.
The most accurate way to measure ketones is by using a blood ketone meter.
A blood ketone test is used to measure the amount of ketones in the blood.
Urine ketones are molecules produced by the liver and then excreted into the urine.
Breath tests measure the amount of ketones in the exhaled air.
These are a little bit less accurate than the blood test, but they are still good to know.
So step 3 is to keep track of your ketones as you reduce carbohydrates, so you know the keto diet is working for you.
Thanks Amelia, now we know if we are in ketosis and the different ways to measure our ketone levels.
Now we need to know step four in your five steps to getting into the ketogenic diet.
Next step we will chat about is how strict is the ketogenic diet and the different options we have on keto.
