It's SO TRUE about the magnesium. I started having major anxiety and even some panic attacks when I first went on Keto and it wasn't until I started taking magnesium that I got that under control. It was such a relief that now, a year and a half later, I have probably only missed 1 or 2 days of having my "mineral water" by my side. I put a teaspoon of magnesium citrate powder in my water bottle (and call it my mineral water - I'll add salt as well if doing an extended fast) along with a half packet of Crystal Lite lemonade to-go pack for flavor every morning and every evening after dinner and it keeps the anxiety at bay. I LOVE my homemade mineral water.
Thank you Dr Boz for the wonderful info. Last year I did Keto for a couple months while going through sinusitis turned into pneumonia. I couldn’t stick to it, and now when you talk about brain inflammation it makes sense to me. I was going through a separation due to emotional abuse, my adrenals had collapsed, and then the pneumonia. I thank God for His love and faithfulness that are constant! PS:For years my favourite way to drink water is with sea salt in it. Long before I heard about the Keto Diet :)
I totally agree with everything you say except the no exercise, I been using keto for myself and clients for 20+ years and find the more exercise the better, and add some intermittent fasting and the body will be fat adapted far faster than with no exercise. Weight training I find is best, but some low intensity cardio is also ok.
Good to hear you say no exercise cause I’m instantly sore or tired after 3 weeks in keto. Taking electrolytes and adding extra magnesium has helped, eating clean keto but still can barely get up the stairs without being puffed. I’m only 58 kilos
Great video! I have several friends who are interested in keto and I will share this with them. I appreciate this refresher for myself. Within a few lbs of my goal weight of 125 at 5'6".
I followed all the guidelines but encountered some problems I am still working on solving. "How to do Keto Solo". I started making all these wonderful keto recipes but ate all the servings. 😱 (I live alone) I ate too much even after I got to the "I forgot to eat a meal" stage. I did the 8 weeks of 72 hours fasting, but I didn't fix my sleeping schedule so appetite was sabotaged by insufficient sleep 😴. Starting over soon after I re-read all my keto info👍🥳🤗
Lol, that’s too funny. For the last 20 years I’ve been putting salt in my coffee (and occasionally licking a tiny bit from my palm when no one was looking). I can’t imagine a cup of coffee without salt. : )
i know Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Gerald Wesley I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Gerald Wesley DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O Just hacked my ig password within roughly 45 minutes by using the site. I had to pay 15 bucks but for sure worth it =) Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
What an amazing person you are Dr. Boz! I love your love to help people and your enormous knowledge about the keto lifestyle! May the Lord blessed you always!
I have heard from many that urine key-tone strips only work in the very beginning when the body spills them into the urine but as the body adapts, they use the keystones rather than spilling them.
That’s partially true. As your body adapts, you waste less ketones. Usually that’s time to “level up” the stress. Increase the metabolic stress.. and the ketones resume. If you want results … keep inching up the stress.
Wonderful video! Thank you fir your channel as it’s helped us lose over 110lbs between us and to reverse Skatz’ type 2 diabetes as well!! We’re so grateful to you and your viewers for all the information you give 💕
Where can I get the little food guide and fridge magnet, please. Love this info. I'm just starting this journey and this has been so informative. Thank you.
Quick question! For beginners, you mentioned less than 20Gr of Carbs. ( it that net carb or just a regular carb) Thanks a lot for putting time for educating us!
I have high blood pressure and I just put a small pinch of salt in my coffee. You only need a teaspoon, but the pinch or small one shake is all you need to enhance the flavor. I watch my sodium intake and it’s never been an issue
Could it be possible that the idea that salt is bad for hypertension is not based on science? What was the 1977 guideline on salt based on? Control scientific studies and evidence? Or mere dogma that is a figment of imagination?
Hypertension is one factor in metabolic syndrome, which stems from insulin resistance. You may need to limit salt a bit while lowering insulin, but every human requires salt.. Every cell in our body. Insulin increases aldosterone which causes sodium retention. Insulin rises with chronic eating of carbs. I'd recommend the book "the salt fix" by dr james dicoantonio. He also has good interviews from mike mutzel of high intensity health here on YT.
Once you limit carbs to 20grams or less, per day, you will find your kidneys let go of water so much, you actually need sodium to balance your electrolytes.
I have been on keto for 20 days, my blood sugar is 4.4 to 4.8, my ketone is 4 to 6. My dr boz ratio is between 30 and 16. Yet I still have cystic acne, new acne pops up, and not losing weight at all (my belly is 80cm, I'm 4ft11)
getting fed up, been on keto for 50 days and it started out hard but got better and eventually got into keto and lost 35 pounds . its the last 2 weeks though cant get my ketones up , went back down to .5, .6 ketones and my blood sugar is up. not eating ANY sugars and very very low carbs 10-16. i need something to happen before i stop. is my liver finally adapting ?
Id recommend watching some carnivore videos on blood sugar. When your body becomes fat adapted and now realizes you're not feeding it sugar, it errs in caution and produces more sugar by gluconeogenesis. This means your body is more efficient at using ketones. Dont chase numbers but instead go by how you feel. Those selling ketones forget to mention this fact... Fasting for longer periods is the only time it may look differently.
I give people Gary Taubes book "Why we get fat and what to do about it" but their brain must be good. I had so many lightbulb moments reading this book.
What uf you cant get keytone stripd where you live? Are thsre other ways to tell if youre in ketosis? What if you're doing the keto diet and dont know if you're in ketosis?
I am a morbidly obese woman with insulin resistant diabetes and fatty liver I have been in a ketogenic lifestyle and intermittent fasting I joined a gym and I don’t see results the diabetic numbers are in the high 200’s I am frustrated and disappointed what do you suggest or and you help? Thank you for your knowledge support and help. I appreciate it
I've been keto for 10 months. I've been at a stall for 3 months. Still have 40ish lbs to lose. Do you suggest lowering the fat, so my body uses its own fat stores? I eat 90% clean. I cook all my food, don't eat any processed or commercialized products.
To answer you, yes. Eat 25% less but really look at what you're being lenient on and how often you're consuming it. It can be harming your progress. Gluten is an often offender, so is all dairy, keto sweeteners and very dirty processed foods with bad oils (canola, sunflower, peanut, etc.). Being lenient with snacking too. Good luck!
You could include intermittent fasting to your plan. It’s really helped us and now we do prolonged fasting too and have lost over 110lbs between us and reversed Skatz’ type 2 into the bargain as well!!
If I’m drinking a lot of water the strips don’t seem to work. Am I not producing ketone or is the urine diluted? I’ve also heard “ you’re literally pissing your money away using pee stops” your thought would be appreciated!! ❤
Thank you for the tips. How many mgs of magnesium more or less should we aim for please? I currently take 200mgs. I feel maybe I should add more? Thank you Doctor :)
Its more dependent on which type youre taking. Magnesium oxide is poop and each one varies with absorbability. id watch a video on types of magnesium for a keto diet and youll get your answer :) thomas delaurer has one for sure.
I bought the ketone strips but they I don’t think they work. I’ve never shown to pee ketones even lowering my carbs to almost none. I wasted my money on the strips
I’m having a hard time on this diet. Not only have I not lost weight, I’m not producing ketones and I’m gaining weight. I have PCOS and IR. I can’t seem to get my total carbs below 20. It’s usually around 50 more more. I’m a pastaholic who hasn’t had pasta in my house in a great while. My sugar cravings are huge and I know that fruit is not a good option to quell that. I can go longer between meals, I can eat later in the day after I’ve gotten up, my sleep is better and my inflammation is lower, but not gone. How does this diet interact with Metformin? I’m on 1,000 mg a day. I tried to go down to 500 mg, but I could feel my sugars doing up with how I felt. I’m a dancer in a community company, so I do cardio at least once, maybe twice a week; more if you count shows. I’ve been craving carbs. I need help.
Oh no… I cover this problem in my online course. The answer is to SIP on ketones-in-a-can everyday for 7-10 days… It’s like magic … Cucumber Lemonade TUB: on.bozmd.com/BHB2
Dear Dr, you have a global audience, many, probably most, don’t have access to a magnesium float or bath. It would be great if you could word your enthusiasm for the said in an inclusive fashion. 🤨👍
Try "Magnesium oil" ...apply transdermally for direct absorption of Mg, very easy ...make it yourself with magnesium chloride + hot water to dissolve - find process online.
I've been doing keto for over six months. I've reached my weight loss goal and have measured my ketone levels consistently. Unfortunately I've never had the benefit of reduced hunger. I'm always hungry and it's frustrating. Sw176 Cw 138

With the ketone strips divide the pack in half and put 25 in an old ketone strip plastic container. It helps keep them fresher.
Your resources are top notch. Keto Continuum is a great plan, an aggressive but doable approach to getting into the keto/fasting discipline.
I totally agree with everything you say except the no exercise,
I been using keto for myself and clients for 20+ years and find the more exercise the better, and add some intermittent fasting and the body will be fat adapted far faster than with no exercise. Weight training I find is best, but some low intensity cardio is also ok.

Regarding salt in your coffee, what about people who have Hypertension?
