you
you
that's a good question is a cheat day
okay in the context of their their
master ketogenic plan and the answer to
your question is if you are key to
adapted as I had said before that means
that your cells essentially are running
on ketones for fuel as opposed to
running on glucose which is what the
vast vast vast majority of Americans are
running on and therefore there's all
this disease here because they're all
based on or the genesis of these of
these metabolic diseases has to do with
consumption of simple carbohydrates so
if you are cue to adapt and you've done
your requisite carbohydrate depletion
for say eight to twelve weeks I always
call this the the clamp so if you were
to go and eat a very very heavy
carbohydrate Laden meal because of the
fact that you do have this clamp if you
will if you were to test your blood
sugars they're not going to shoot up to
the point where you believe they they
may have shot up if an individual that
were not keto adapted or to eat as an
example the Snickers bar in which case
their blood Sugar's may shoot up to 200
transiently and this is what we this is
what we see in other words they go up
trans the blood Sugar's go up
transiently in a keto adapted individual
and then they're clamped right down you
know within an hour or two to that that
normal level so the answer to your the
answer to that question is is no if you
are a keto adapted individual and you're
running your cells on fat is it going to
knock you out of ketosis and the answer
to your question is no it's not going to
knock you out of ketosis now if you're
an individual that is on the threshold
of being on ketosis and you started as
an example on a Wednesday and you're
going and you're going and you're going
you're knocking your carbohydrates down
you're saying example at 75 then maybe
50 and you're 50 and then you go and eat
a carbohydrate Laden meal yes you're
going to have a problem in other words
that is definitely definitely definitely
going to delay your transition into
ketosis because what you're doing is
you're telling your body hey you can up
regulate the enzymes that allowed me to
metabolize the carbohydrate cuz you know
what you're feeding me carbohydrates
so you're that's that's an in stark sort
of a contradiction to what occurs in an
individual that is fully key to adapted
in whom cellular energy is derived from
ketones and all of those enzymes are
very much regulated and those that help
allow us to ourselves to metabolize
glucose are down regulated so you don't
want to do anything like that and go eat
a very very carbohydrate Laden cheat
meal during your induction phase I would
say if you're going to cheat and a lot
of us do and that's that's fine
everybody's human make sure that you
have done a fairly rigorous induction
phase prior to going in and cheating
because your body is not going to
tolerate it and you're going to take a
step in the wrong directions like you
know taking you know a step forward and
then taking two steps backwards if you
do it during that induction Bay so don't
do it because you're trying to show
you're trying to teach your body you're
trying to coerce your body into using
fats or ketones as a primary fuel source
as opposed to glucose so don't do that
that's the answer to that question
