Based on that information, it's safe to say that we shouldn't take nutrition for granted and should follow it optimally. If you want to be a HIGH PERFORMING individual who achieves SUCCESS with their body composition as well as in everything else, then you should keep reading.
The ketogenic diet has been used against diabetes, cancer and obesity extremely effectively. It's thought to be only good for rapid fat loss and is mostly a fad. However, that's not the case.Â
Keto is more than a diet because it completely shifts your metabolism. When in ketosis, your biology is in a totally different state than when burning sugar. It alters your gene expression and augments your DNA, mitochondria and all of the cells in your body. After you adapt, your physiology will be enhanced and taken to the next level.
Be honest with me, on a scale of 1 to 10, how good are you feeling on a daily basis.
10 would mean that you could run through a brick wall and brush off the dust afterwards.
1 is like being hospitalized in a bed without having any ability to move.
Below 5 you're fatigued and can't really get out of bed in the morning, at least without out downing several cups of coffee first.
6-7 is where 80% of the population is at their entire lives - they're obese, tired, slothful and have no greater purpose in life.
Somewhere between 7-8 you're feeling quite good and are enthusiastic about life.
Where am I going with this?Â
What separates you from getting from a level of 6-7 to 8+ is your metabolic engine. By default, our body is running on sugar i.e. glucose and carbohydrates. However, there's another fuel source we can use, which is fat. It can come from our own belly fat or food, whereas carbs can only be derived from exogenous sources.Â
What's the difference between burning sugar and fat?
Glucose metabolism is quick and gives us instant energy. It also produces free radicals that speed up aging and make you bonk mentally.
Fatty acid metabolism produces ketone bodies that give us 25% more energy that lasts for several hours. There aren't any dangerous by-products either because it's clean fuel.
The MAXIMUM you can ever reach on a good day when running on a sugar burning engine is 8, because you'll be causing oxidative stress and inflammation to your body. Reaching 9 happens rarely and 10 is basically unachievable without taking some sort of performance enhancing drugs.
When in ketosis, the ceiling of your overall energy increases because you'll be able to produce 25% more effective quality fuel. Actually, you'll be increasing it even more because your body won't suffer from any fatigue or inflammatory responses.Â
Here's a simple graph to illustrate my point.
If you think you're feeling OKAY at the moment then that's just because you have no idea that there's another way. The more energized, stronger, vital and powerful version of yourself is separated from you by an impeding wall of glycolosis.Â
After you get into ketosis, you'll be able to tap into the last section of the diagram, which are 9-10 energy levels. On keto, you can reach your higher potential and become YOU+.
Right now you are faced with a similar situation like Neo in the Matrix.
You have two options between the red and blue pill.
Take the blue pill and you will close this window and everything will go back to normal. You will return to your regular life, back to fatigue, obesity, slothfulness, disease and exhaustion. In fact, you won’t probably even tell the difference because you have no idea what it means to feel differently.
Take the red pill and you will start an epic jour
