Introduction and Purpose of the Video

Hi guys, listen, I have 2,500 videos, okay, on YouTube. 2,500 So sometimes when you go to the channel, it's hard to find where to start because it's all random. So I wanted to create a beginner's video, the basics. So if you're new to my channel, if you have friends and family members that are new to my program, this is the first video to watch. Okay, so let me just kind of break it down.

I'll make it really, really fast.

Explanation of Keto and Ketosis

Keto. Or ketosis, what does keto mean? When you burn fat, your fat breaks down into these things called ketones. Your body can then use those as fuel, okay? So your body can actually run in ketones.

It's a much, much better fuel source than sugar fuel that most people run on. It's cleaner fuel, it creates a lot of other benefits, which I get into in other videos, okay? So keto basically means you're burning fat, okay?

Concept of Healthy Keto and Importance of Nutrients

Healthy keto is a version of regular ketosis, but with a twist. A principle that I use is you don't lose weight and get healthy. You have to get healthy first to then lose weight. So getting healthy basically means, in relationship to eating, providing all of your nutrients, okay? So you're eating foods that are high quality that provide all the nutrients.

So you get the requirements that our bodies need. So what I recommend is something called healthy ketosis. All right, so that's the version.
