In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals 15 tips for mastering the ketogenic diet. Free Keto Masterclass: http://www.ketosismasterclass.com Free Keto Blueprint: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com TIMESTAMPS: 1:14 Overview 01:40 Keto is not a diet. Keto is a metabolic process. Every single one of our ancestors follow the ketogenic diet. Their environment put them in ketosis. 02:35 We are born in ketosis. Babies that are breastfed go in and out of ketosis because breast milk is made of saturated fat and cholesterol.  Studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15573408/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15916931/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10652985/ 03:30 How ketosis works inside the body at the cellular level. 06:08 The difference between burning sugar (glucose) and burning fat (ketones). Sugar burners vs fat burners.  06:45 How keto helps to reduce inflammation inside of the body. 07:45 The real cause of weight gain and weight loss resistance. 09:20 The first tip: Focus on health over fat loss. You do not lose weight to be healthy. You get healthy to lose weight. Pay attention to non-scale victories, and get keto blood work done. 11:45 If LDL goes up with keto, get the NMR test to determine the LDL particle sizes. 13:00 The second tip: Electrolyte dumping. Do this to avoid the keto flu, and other common symptoms on the ketogenic diet.   Here are my favorite electrolyte & mineral supplements: Redmond’s Real Salt: https://bit.ly/38NsoPi use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Redmond’s Re-Lyte Electrolyte Powder: https://bit.ly/3rJTsYf use the coupon code azadi for 10% off Micro Daily: https://www.microdaily.com/ketokamp/micro-daily 14:45 The third tip: Follow the 2/2/2/2 rule to help your body use fatty acids for fuel instead of glucose. This is a great way to transition into ketosis quickly without any keto side effects. 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or mct oil 2 tablespoons of grass fed butter or ghee 2 teaspoons of sea salt 15:55 The fourth tip: Consume bitters to help your liver and gallbladder produce bile. Bile acts as a detergent to break down fat. Most people have sluggish bile leading to keto digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and not feeling good on keto. If you don’t have a gallbladder on keto, it can still be done with some considerations. Here is a video on 5 ways to follow the ketogenic diet without a gallbladder: https://youtu.be/Z6nwyhh3Zac 17:07 The best ways to support your liver on keto. Here are my favorite sources of keto bitters to help with keto digestion, and helping you feel better in ketosis. 18:55 The fifth tip: How do you calculate macros on keto? Discover if you should cut calories on the ketogenic diet.  20:30 Why more protein on keto is better. No, consuming protein on keto will not knock you out of a ketosis. Here is a recent video I did debunking common keto protein myths: https://youtu.be/I1o89fSlcAw 21:19 Number six and number seven tip: Gradually decrease carbohydrates on keto to under 50 total grams per day, and stop snacking in between your keto meals. 22:30 How the fat storage hormone insulin causes weight gain even on keto.   23:45 Number eight tip: How to test and measure ketones in the body.

Cinnamon has been used for over 4,000 years. It is high in antioxidants. #7 ORAC score, antioxidant score. cinnamon blood sugar study in type 2 diabetics:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...   Cinnamon for diabetes can help block the activity of several digestive enzymes to slow the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream after a high-carb meal https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2/ Many studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes can experience significant positive effects on blood sugar markers by supplementing with cinnamon extract.  FENUGREEK  With trace nutrients (iron, manganese, copper) and a variety of antioxidants, fenugreek is a wonderful keto herb.  In a study published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, it was also observed that the control ground had a "4.2 times higher chance of developing type-2 diabetes compared to subjects in the fenugreek group.”  CLOVES  Consuming cloves can help stop sugar cravings as well. In a study, 30 type-2 diabetics were given capsules containing zero, one, two or three grams of cloves each day for a month to observe their serum glucose levels.  Researchers of the study suggested that consuming one to three grams of cloves per day is beneficial for type-2 diabetics to better manage their glucose and total cholesterol levels.”   GINSENG  In several human studies American ginseng lowered blood sugar levels in people with type-2 diabetes. The blood sugar lowering effect was seen both on fasting blood sugar and on postprandial (after eating) glucose levels.  Drink ginseng tea before or after your keto meals.   L-GLUTAMINE  L-glutamine calms the part of your brain that lights up when you experience a sugar/carb craving. It turns out, sugar is as addicting as cocaine, and some say sugar is 8 times more addicting than cocaine. Wow.  Take 500mg of l-glutamine powder, up to 3 times each day. I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/3aXo7vu 32:55 The 11th tip: What are the best sweeteners for keto? 33:43 The 12th tip: Master sleep and stress on keto.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Craig Emmerich. Craig graduated in Electrical Engineering and has spent the last 15 plus years researching nutrition and working with thousands of clients alongside his wife, Maria Emmerich. He is an international best-selling author of the "Keto: The Complete Guide" and "The Carnivore Cookbook." He uses his knowledge of how our bodies work to help clients heal and lose weight leveraging their biology to make it easy. In this episode, Craig speaks about his journey to the ketogenic lifestyle. Craig explains how plants can negatively impact our guts. Kale and spinach can be some of the most significant irritants to our guts because of their antinutrients. Also, Craig reveals what other plants are chock full of these antinutrients. Later, we speak about the benefits of eating red meats, and we bust the myth that red meat causes cancer. Tune in as Craig tells us how fat loss works from a metabolic standpoint, and we hear about Craig's plans in 2021. // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:30] About Craig Emmerich Craig is an ex-engineer; it leads him to look at nutrition differently. Craig’s wife, Maria, would make keto meals for the family. On the weekends, Craig would eat whatever he wanted. Craig realized when he ate whatever; he would feel awful. So, to feel better, Craig started eating keto for every meal. Your body is adaptable. If you constantly flood your body with inflammatory foods, then it can deal with it. You won’t notice the incremental pain. When you cut it all out, you get a massive reaction and realize what it's doing to your body. [05:30] How Our Gut Is Affected By Plants Plants can make issues in our bodies worse. Sometimes, it will even cause the issues. Your body wants nutrients. However, antinutrients are compounds that your body does not want. Your body will have to detox these antinutrients. There are thousands of these compounds in plants. Plants don’t want you to eat their leaves because it will kill the plant. Spinach and kale have oxalates in them in high amounts. They will irritate the gut and cause leaky gut. Mainstream media doesn’t discuss these issues with plants. [10:45] Antinutrients Found In A Keto Diet Lectins are a big problem. There are tons of compounds in our foods that can cause problems. Tannins are an antinutrient that is in grapes and wine. You can die if you get too many oxalates. That’s the problem with green smoothies. Plus, there are loads of compounds that we haven’t even studied. When you know the reason for starting a keto lifestyle, then the way you do it can be very different. We have been taught that more vegetables are the way to go, but it’s not always the truth. [17:45] The Benefits of Eating Red Meat As far as red meats go, there is a huge metanalysis that was done last year. It looked at all the available information out there on red meat and cancer. They found that there is no correlation between red meat and cancer. When you eat red meat, there can be amazing improvements to your cardiovascular system. Try out the carnivore diet and see how it works for you. There are loads of vitamins and minerals in red meat. Focus on protein because that will be the best part of your plate. More protein is usually better, especially for people on a keto diet. [24:40] How Fat Loss Works From A Metabolism Standpoint     We process protein, fat, and carbs the same. Oxidative priority is how our body will process our fuels. When you eat a meal, you have hundreds of calories flooding the bloodstream. The body has to prioritize how it will use the fuel. The last priority for the body is fat because we have a massive amount of fat storage; it is easy for the body to store fat. Alcohol is the number one priority for the body because you cannot store alcohol. When you eat with alcohol, the body has to deal with the alcohol first. The body doesn’t want to use protein as a fuel; it wants to use it to repair cells. If you cut out alcohols and keep your carbs to a minimum, then fat will be your own variable. Adjust your fat levels based on your goals.   [33:10] Craig’s Plans For 2021 Check out the Protein Sparing Modified Fast Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1722073454/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2/benazadi-20 There is more to come from Craig and Maria; get excited!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chris Irvin, a nutrition researcher, writer, and educator. He holds a master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science and is currently the education manager for Perfect Keto. During his time in grad school, Chris began to see the keto industry growing. Chris was in big support of this industry growth because he thinks a robust industry can support good research, but with so many companies coming on the scene just trying to make a buck, Chris became discouraged and kept his distance.   After spending a couple of years researching and developing content about keto, Chris decided to start looking more into the keto industry because he wanted to bring more research and education into the industry. Fortunately, Perfect Keto was looking for someone to improve research and education within their company, something they were already doing very well! Chris was already a big fan of Dr. Anthony Gustin and the quality products he was making at Perfect Keto, so it ended up making a great fit. Now Chris focuses on learning and educating the masses on the ketogenic diet through The Ketologist and Perfect Keto! In this episode, Chris Irvin opens the show speaking about his journey to the keto diet and eventually the carnivore diet. First, we talk about how ketosis can actually help you build muscle despite people thinking insulin is required for muscle growth. In fact, ketones can stimulate muscle growth. Later, we dive deep into the carnivore diet. Chris explains how he found the carnivore diet, why the carnivore diet is beneficial for our gut, and if the carnivore diet is sustainable long-term. Tune in as Keto Kamp members join the show to ask Chris questions about supplements and what to pay attention to when trying the carnivore diet. // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [02:00] About Chris Irvin Chris found the keto diet at age 24. At grad school, he learned about the benefits of keto from a sports perspective. When Chris tried keto, he didn't feel that great. However, after a few days, Chris started to feel energized. During his research at grad school, Chris got to look at how keto would affect athletic performance. If you want to learn about the therapeutic effects of keto, Chris recommends reading Tripping over the Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Tripping-over-Truth-Overturning-Entrenched/dp/1603587292/benazadi-20 Chris became frustrated that all this research was available, but people didn’t have access to it. So, Chris decided to start making content to educate the masses on the ketogenic diet.   [16:45] How Ketosis Helps You Build Muscle People think carbohydrates and insulin are required for muscle growth. However, you don’t have to have them. There are other ways that you can stimulate muscle growth. Ketones are muscle-sparing. You don’t lose muscle with ketosis. Ketones can also stimulate muscle growth by activating muscle proteins. Getting enough protein will be essential for muscle growth, especially for men. Even for people who aren’t focused on gaining muscle, there should be a focus on retaining muscle. Chronic diseases will destroy our health through muscle loss – so increase your protein intake. [21:00] How Chris Got Into Carnivore Chris tried carnivore about two and a half years ago. At first, Chris didn’t think an all-meat diet would be beneficial for people. After trying carnivore, he loved the way that he felt. It also changed the way that he looks at nutrition because he now prioritizes quality meat. Chris found that the carnivore diet gives him more strength in the gym, improves his productivity, decreases his hunger, improves his body composition, and even increases his ketone levels. After seeing the stories and hearing so many people who get excellent benefits from a carnivore diet, Chris thinks people can decide if it's the right fit for them. [26:40] Getting Vitamins And Minerals Through The Carnivore Diet Surprisingly, there are loads of nutrients in red meat. People think that plants provide us with essential micronutrients, and cutting them out will lead to deficiencies. However, micronutrients in plants are poorly absorbed in humans. Ketones are able to provide the benefits that vitamin C does. Plus, your demand for vitamin C will be less when you’re in ketosis. You need lots of vitamins on the standard American diet; your body doesn’t need as many vitamins in a carnivore diet. [31:45] Repairing The Gut With Carnivore    Gut health will improve with the carnivore diet for two reasons: Plants contain compounds that are toxic, and they can wreak havoc on our bodies. Some people are sensitive to these plants from overconsumption. So, when we eliminate those plants, the gut can start to heal through carnivore. Meat will provide nutrients to help with the repair of your gut. It can repair the lining of your gut and the structure of your gut. Thus, reducing leaky gut syndrome. [38:20] Is The Carnivore Diet Sustainable?   The carnivore diet is sustainable for an extended period of time. There is no reason to think that this diet is going to be bad for us. If you’re talking about sustainability for enjoying the diet, then it depends on the person. For someone who likes to cook and needs more flavor, the carnivore diet can be a bit boring. People can benefit from the carnivore as a diet as a tool in their toolbelt. Use the diet in four to six-week blocks. You can join The Carnivore Reset Challenge: https://meatreset.com. [52:20] Supplements For The Carnivore Diet Electrolytes will be a necessity on the carnivore diet. Find a powder or a capsule electrolyte supplement. [56:00] Repairing The Gut After Antibiotics The longer you’ve been taking antibiotics, the more damage that has occurred in your gut. In most cases, there is a two-week minimum to try the carnivore diet to see how your digestion is responding. Impaired gut health will zap your energy and prevent you from feeling great. If you’re not feeling great on carnivore, then you need to stick with it longer. [59:20] Feeling Better On Carnivore There should be a noticeable change that your quality of life is better on the carnivore diet. When you’re healthy, you’ll feel better. Digestion should improve. You won’t feel bloated or nauseous after meals. More energy and more mental clarity will also be a sign that the carnivore diet is working. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have Sara Banta, a Health Coach and busy mother of three whose children are now 14, 16, and 18 years old. Sara completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University with a degree in Economics and Psychology in 1998. In 2016, she graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and The Invincible Wellness System. Through her journey, she has had to solve many health issues within her family, including her son suffering from leukemia at the age of nine, her daughter having allergies, anemia, and asthma, her husband having heart issues, her other daughter having comprehension and learning issues, in addition to headaches. This, of course, is on top of her own issues with fertility, hormones, adult acne, IBS, digestive issues, heavy metals and much more. She has had to connect the dots and realize what was causing all these issues and what the solutions were, which also of course involved the mind-body connection.  A lot of the same solutions that heal the gut or the brain are the solutions that help achieve weight loss, improve fitness and restore metabolic health. With that, she has devoted her life to providing guidance and all-natural health supplements and solutions that heal the body and the root problems, not just addressing the symptoms.  In this episode, Sara Banta opens the show by sharing her and her son's health journey. After her son's leukemia diagnosis, Sara's family went on a massive health journey. Eventually, that journey led Sara to create Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal. Plus, Sara speaks about how keto can be used as a health tool, and she gives hacks on how to avoid the keto flu. Later, we talk about frequency-based healing and the ways that Accelerated Scalar Silver can change your life. Tune in as Sara reveals the importance of overcoming iodine deficiency and why you need to try the Genius Insight Biofeedback App. SPECIAL OFFER: JOIN THE KETO KAMP ACADEMY FOR 50% OFF.

She had zero energy, and her stomach was bloated with food. Doctors couldn’t give her any answers.  After finding a natural practitioner, she realized that healing would involve a mind-body connection.  Later, Sara found out her son had leukemia. Sara decided to put all of her energy into healing her son.  Doctors simply don’t have the time to help everyone heal.  After cutting the processed foods and sugars, Sara and her son were on a healing journey together. Eventually, Sara created Accelerated Health Products to help other people heal: https://acceleratedhealthproducts.com/ahp/ketokamp/ use the coupon code KETOKAMP15 for 15% off. [19:20] Using Keto As A Health Tool A lot of people progress from paleo to keto. That way, you won’t hit the keto flu as much. Also, endogenous ketones are a great tool to get yourself into ketosis without the keto flu.  Intermittent fasting is essential to incorporate in a ketogenic lifestyle; that way, ketosis is easier to achieve. Sara focuses on supplements and tools to get her into ketosis quicker.  Most people walk around with leaky gut. It's easy to have with the toxins that we are exposed to daily. On Sara’s keto journey, she realized that she and her children are all individuals, needing different diets.   Even though Sara is on keto, she has a challenging time processing fat. Sara will focus on high protein. She eats less fat than a typical person who is on keto.  You don’t need to be in ketosis 24/7, especially for females.

This video reveals that calories do matter, but they aren't important. Focusing on calories is a distraction to what truly matters, hormones and cell metabolism. What Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp, teaches is to focus on the two macros instead, carbohydrates and protein. Keep your total carbohydrates below 50 grams for the day. Of course, you want these keto carb macros to be from high quality sources. Aim to consume 40-50 grams of quality animal protein with each meal. When you pair intermittent fasting with keto, you most likely will end up cutting calories; but, there's a big difference when you do it with fasting vs not. This video explains the difference as it comes down to counter regulatory hormones. ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.com / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off// R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

It is estimated that autophagy starts during the 16 hour mark of a fast, this is also dependent on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. When you go into your fast being in ketosis, you'll activate autophagy faster. On your autophagy fasting days, when you do eat to break the fast, it is important to keep total protein for the day under 20 grams. This is the time to increase your healthy fats. Here are my favorite fats to break your autophagy fast with... Grass fed butter or ghee Coconut oil Olives and olive oil Avocados Nut butters Here are 2 ways to practice autophagy fasting during the week. Option #1 An 18/6 autophagy fasting schedule This means 18 hours out of the 24 hour period you are in the fasted state. You only consume water with sea salt here. You break the fast with mostly fasts. Then have your two meals within your 6 hour eating window. The first meal should have less than 20 grams of total protein. The second meal at the 24 hour mark is where you consume the rest of your protein which will stop the autophagy. I like this method 2-3 times per week, depending on how much extra body fat you have on you. Option #2 A 32/16 autophagy fasting schedule This approach is more aggressive, and is best for those with more than 20 pounds of excess body weight that you want to lose. Here's how it works... 32 hour fast with only water and sea salt. You break the fast with mostly fasts, keeping total protein here under 20 grams. The following meal will be 4 hours later where you can consume more protein. This can be done 1-2 times per week. It is important to balance autophagy with mTor, and I explain the difference between these two pathways in this video. ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me an investigative science and health journalist and co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI.org), Gary Taubes. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar (2016), Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It (2011), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), published as The Diet Delusion in the UK.  Taubes is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and has won numerous other journalism awards. These include the International Health Reporting Award from the Pan American Health Organization and the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award, which he won in 1996, 1999, and 2001. (He is the first print journalist to win this award three times.)  Taubes graduated from Harvard College in 1977 with an SB degree in applied physics and received an MS degree in engineering from Stanford University (1978) and in journalism from Columbia University (1981). In this episode, Gary Taubes joins the show to speak about his work shining a light on bad science in the nutritional realm. After publishing What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, Gary faced loads of backlash. However, that didn’t stop him. Gary has published countless books about why we need to ditch carbs, stop eating sugar, and start eating fats. Gary speaks about the inspiration behind his book, The Case For Keto. After interviewing 120 doctors from around the world that recommend the keto lifestyle, his book talks about why the established rules about eating healthy might be the wrong approach to weight loss. Tune in as we talk about why calories in, calories out is a terrible way to lose weight.  ⏱️ The Art of Fasting Webinar.

He found a disconnect between medical research and public research. The disconnect is especially terrible in the nutritional world. After reporting about the DASH diet study, Gary found that eating a low-sodium diet wouldn’t help lower your blood pressure. Then, Gary decided to start researching the low-fat diet. Gary keeps exploring different aspects of nutrition by shining a flashlight on dark science.   [06:50] The Backlash From Gary’s Work Gary found that fat doesn’t make you fat; it’s carbs. After the New York Times ran his story, What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie?, there was a massive uproar. Gary even lost a few friends because of the article. People thought Gary made the research up to get a book deal. All sorts of magazines did take-downs of Gary. When Gary’s first book came out, there was still an uproar. People assume that he’s a quack. [20:35] About The Case For Keto Carbs are the reason that you get obese. However, the counterargument is always Asia. These people have lived primarily on rice. The answer is that they are low sugar consumers. After we discovered insulin, people thought they needed carbs to balance the insulin. Insulin and carbs should not be the answer to people with diabetes. Doctors will argue that patients do not want to give up carbs. However, most doctors agree that their patients should not be eating sweets. As keto started to catch on in mainstream media, Gary knew he needed to create a book for people who are trying keto for the first time. For his book, Gary interviewed about 120 doctors from all over the world. [37:35] Being In Ketosis Long-Term Gary interviewed 120 doctors from all over the world; most of them don’t care if people are in ketosis long-term. These doctors are mostly concerned with people getting off of carbs. Ben says that it is healthy to reset the metabolism and work on carb-cycling. [43:45] Why Calories In, Calories Out Is A Terrible Way To Lose Weight    You can starve yourself and lose weight – however, you will be starving all of the time, and it’s not sustainable. The idea that people get fat because they overeat is a thin person’s perspective on obesity. However, it’s a tautology. Insulin tells your body to store calories as fat. By the end of the 1960s, it was clear that people who are obese tend to be insulin resistant; carbs stimulate insulin, which tells your body to store fat. Overall, people with obesity don’t respond normally to insulin. AND MUCH MORE!
