Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

So, you're doing keto, but the weight's not coming off, or it's very slow.

What can you do?

Now, I've done a ton of videos on plateau.

I'm going to put some links down below, but I want to give you a summary of

three really important things, okay, related to slow weight loss.

So, number one, the goal is to get your ketones from your own body fat.

Not necessarily your diet.

I really want to make that distinction, because sometimes people think that keto is a high-fat diet.

No, it's a low-carb diet.

Being on keto does not mean unlimited fat.

It doesn't mean that you can keep eating these fat-filled keto bombs all day long.

That's not going to work.

And during tons of NCT oil and take these exogenous ketone supplements and thinking you're actually going to lose weight,

no, that's not going to happen, because if you provide your body with dietary fat or ketones,

and we compare that to your own fat, the body is going to always use the dietary fat in ketones first before it taps into your own fat.

And so, if you're not losing weight, that could be the reason why you might need to cut down on some of the extra fat.

I would just consume the fat that normally comes with the protein.

And also realize that dietary fat has more than doubled calories.

So, when we say the ketogenic diet is 70 or 75% fat, we're talking about calories.
