Stephen Phinney, MD, Ph.D, explains the science of nutritional ketosis, a natural metabolic state in which your body is fueled mainly by fats and ketones, instead of carbohydrates (glucose). Nutritional ketosis occurs when you follow a ketogenic diet.

What is the long term effect of the brain switching from glucose as its primart source to ketones and are there any adverse effects? Are there any scientific studies on the long term effects of the ketone diet on the body? If you lose weight on this diet do you lose muscle or fat mass?

Dr. Stephen, thank you for the video. I have learned so much with you about the food to consume in KETO.
A few weeks after I started KETO I got a bit concern due to the loss of strength at the gym lifting weights. I took as a side effect, but I was willing to part with strength in exchange for a healthy ripped physique. For my pleasant surprise after 10 weeks of KETE I am starting to improve in my lifts just a bit under where I was before KETO, but now I am ripped and 30 # lighter.

Are you sick and tired of trying diet after diet and getting little to no results? Have you lost weight on diets just to gain it right back again? If you want to see my review click here:

Wow! It just clicked in my head (duh!). Dr. Kinney said, when bicycling long distances, "I would hit the wall…" In response to this, he, "… became a carbohydrate advocate." I immediately thought, "Keto reserves are hundred-fold compared to carb reserves! He could have kept going WAY longer if he had been doing keto." Thank you, Dr. Kinney!!

Hi Dr Phinner, my father is diabetic and takes insulin on a daily basis. Is ketogenic diet recommended for my father ? If yes, could you recommend an appropriate medical clinic or similar in India ?

Is it OK to take multivitamins whilst on the ketogenic diet?

I am a keto person in my seventies, food is my medicine!

Too many compulsive air quotes. Compulsions show stupidity and narrow mindedness. But evidence suggests what he is telling is true.

Thanks for sharing this video. It's very interesting and helpful video.

That's the method mathematicians use – proof by contradiction.

According to a growing number of prominent low carb Doctors the belief that high protein diets increase insulin production isn't supported by current scientific evidence and that high protein diets are often more beneficial than restricted protein diets.

There are some great trailblazing doctors out there that care about testable nutritional science and not “dogma”. You, sir, are among them. Thank you for continuing and improving upon the legacy that Dr. Atkins brought to the forefront of nutritional science.
