How much fat do we need to eat to be keto? Do we really need to eat high fat to be keto? How reliable are the studies being done on keto? If these questions have been running through your mind, then you’ve come to the right podcast! Topics Discussed in this Episode: The reasons why I believe eating a high-fat diet is necessary to get into ketosis, stay in ketosis, and reap the benefits of ketosis. The 4 ways you can get into ketosis. Why eating fat to satiety doesn’t work for most women. How The Fat Burning Female Project can help you in your keto journey. Julie Sternberg’s keto success story as a Fat Burning Female. Key Takeaways: No studies have been done specifically looking at the need for a certain percentage of fat in order to get into ketosis. Studies are not the most reliable source of information. When you can find a study that proves something, you can just as easily find a study that disproves it. To get a female body into ketosis, it does need high fat for a period of time. However, saying “high fat” doesn’t always mean 90% fat. It’s different for everybody, especially for the long term. The higher your fat intake at the induction phase of ketosis, the quicker you will get into ketosis. When you get into ketosis and you continue that high-fat trend, your body will adapt faster so you become a quicker fat burner. Action Steps: Take the time, in the beginning, to increase your fat intake to make your transition into ketosis a lot easier. Make sure you start doing keto correctly. If you’re already in ketosis, start doing keto in a safer, smarter approach.

Shawn said: “Seeing so many cases of women not increasing their fat enough, just lowering their carbs and protein, and not getting into ketosis… seeing how much damage can be done in that low carb purgatory place, right there, leads me to know we’ve got to increase the fat.” “You will get to a point where you will have a lot of options and a lot of flexibility within keto and you’ll stay in ketosis. But I have never found that to be the case for someone right off the bat, especially a woman.” Sponsor Links: Ample Keto Meal Replacement - Use the coupon code keto4women15 to get 15%off your order.
