Erin Power returns to Reframe Your Life to talk about the latest diet trend.
Highlights of the episode:
- Erin talks about the difference between keto/ketosis/ketogenic diets
- Ketogenic diet is a metabolic state
- Why you don't want to be in 'ketosis' or 'go keto'
- The goal is using ketones as a fuel source in your body
- The end goal is metabolic flexibility
- Our bodies will adapt to using different fuel sources
- Having a metabolism that works as intended will change the way you feel
- Why you don't need to buy urine strips or breath monitors
- What your cravings are really telling you
- You can teach your body to use different fuel sources (metabolic flexibility)
- When you are following a ketogenic diet you are restricting carbohydrates, not following a high fat diet (you don't need to put butter in your coffee or eat spoonfuls of coconut oil)
- Reframe your thinking around 'treats' into 'choices or wants'
- Take time to reduce your carbs. This is a lifestyle change not a diet #ketoeventuallymaybe
- Carbohydrate intolerance takes a toll on your health (diabetes) lowering your carbohydrate intake is beneficial
