Could you imagine eating 4000 calories while still losing weight? Sounds impossible... But that's exactly what Jason Wittrock did on his 21 day 4k calorie challenge.  He was eating over 400 grams of fat and LOST 2 POUNDS! How is this possible? If weight loss is just calories in vs calories out then he should've become clinically obese and get heart disease But he did it on the ketogenic diet which allowed him to burn all of that fat for energy It comes to show that to lose fat, you have to look beyond the linear thermodynamics modeland take into account your body's biochemistry That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast with Siim Land Our guest is Jason Wittrock the Keto King himself. Jason is a fitness model, coach, social media influencer, trainer and a father In this episode, we're talking about What made Jason swap over from the general fitness advice to the ketogenic diet How Jason coaches his clients to lose fat and get fit What happened on his 21-day 4000 calorie challenge What to do after a cheat day How to make keto a sustainable part of your lifestyle And so much more...

You have to hear this SHOCKING NEWS...   Fat isn't bad for your health   Most likely you already knew that   But the real kicker is that...   Carbs aren't bad for your health either...   Don’t get me wrong – most people would benefit dramatically by lowering their carbohydrate intake And you WANT TO be in a fat burning ketogenic state the majority of the time   However...   You'd greatly benefit from using some carbs in certain scenarios This will promote metabolic flexibility, prevent food intolerances and promote performance   There are 2 ways of consuming carbohydrates on the ketogenic diet Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) - you eat keto for a given period and then have a carb refeed Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD) - you eat keto all the time and have a small dose of carbs during workouts Both the CKD and TKD are viable ways of boosting your performance, improving your metabolic flexibility and upregulating the metabolism.

Are you motivated? Do you feel inspired? Is it needed for you to first watch a ton of motivational videos and quotes before you can take action? Social media and the modern world, in particular, are inducive of the "motivation guilt trip" Basically - feeling the need to be motivated and inspired in order to start taking action, to get things done and to stay consistent with your goals MOTIVATION IS A HUGE PRIVILEGE You shouldn't feel motivated before you get out of your bed You shouldn't feel motivated for staying disciplined with your habits You shouldn't feel motivated to do the right thing no matter the situation A gazelle can't choose to feel motivated when running away from a lion So you shouldn't take motivation as something guaranteed or essential You have to develop the proactive ability to be able to take action despite how you feel or how motivated you are If you want to tune in with some future live streams, then head over to my Facebook page and join the Body Mind Empowerment Facebook group.

Want to learn how to start the ketogenic diet? Don't know where to start? This episode will give you the basics of ketosis and eating keto. Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast with Siim Land. Today I wanted to talk about nutrition and ketosis in particular. In a nutshell - Ketosis is a metabolic state, in which the body has shifted from using glucose as the primary fuel source for supplying its energy demands with ketone bodies. You can induce ketosis by fasting for around 3 days or by eating a low carb ketogenic diet with around 30-50 grams NET carbohydrates per day for several weeks There are many benefits to ketosis, such as improved biomarkers, reduced inflammation, mental clarity, more energy, easier fat loss and anti-aging I’ve been doing keto for almost 3 years and I must say it has drastically increased my ability to stay energized and focused for long periods of time without having to eat or get sidetracked by hunger Listen to this episode to discover How to get into ketosis How to know you're in ketosis How to combat the "keto flu" What are the common mistakes beginners make All that and much more...
