=== The Keto Zone (03:47) ===

[00:00:00]  You know what's exciting about this book, The KetoZone?
[00:00:02]  And I, as his wife, over 35 years married, watched all the books come and go.
[00:00:08]  And let food be your medicine is off the chart.
[00:00:11]  But I got to tell you, I have never been more excited than I am about this because I have struggled with weight loss and gaining and weight and all of that.
[00:00:21]  And I got to tell you what is so amazing about when you do the get into the zone.
[00:00:25]  Why they call it the zone.
[00:00:27]  When you get into the keto zone, your hunger turns off.
[00:00:32]  Can you imagine being on a program to where you're not craving bad stuff?
[00:00:37]  You're not craving the potato chips.
[00:00:39]  You're not craving the ice cream.
[00:00:41]  You're not craving it.
[00:00:42]  That's the battle.
[00:00:43]  That is the battle.
[00:00:44]  And you know what?
[00:00:45]  And here's the thing.
[00:00:46]  Most women, from my experience, love carbs.
[00:00:49]  Yes.
[00:00:50]  Exactly.
[00:00:50]  I mean, we love carbs.
[00:00:53]  You know, we can't get enough of them.
[00:00:55]  That has been my whole algae.
[00:00:57]  But this program.
[00:00:58]  You know, for me, carbs do.
[00:01:01]  But all carbs convert to sugar.
[00:01:03]  Yes.
[00:01:03]  All starches convert to sugar.
[00:01:06]  And when you have high sugar, high carbs, high starches, guess what happened?
[00:01:10]  You just boosted your insulin level, spiked your insulin.
[00:01:13]  Insulin is a powerful hormone that screams at your body and says, store fat.
[00:01:18]  Store fat.
[00:01:19]  And even when you exercise, your body's saying, don't release fat.
[00:01:23]  Don't release fat.
[00:01:24]  So the most frustrated people are the people who are exercising.
[00:01:28]  They're eating fairly good, but they're eating those carbs, especially before their workout.
[00:01:32]  Their trainer tells them to.
[00:01:34]  I've seen this with thousands of my patients.
[00:01:36]  And yet they don't lose weight, but they continue to gain.
[00:01:39]  That's because of the carbage and the sugars and the starches.
[00:01:42]  So what we do is we put you in the keto zone.
[00:01:46]  The keto zone.
[00:01:49]  What does the word keto mean?
[00:01:51]  Can you give us that right now?
[00:01:52]  Okay, well, ketones are special nutrients that the body, the liver makes ketones when you're in a fasting state.
[00:02:01]  Now, I've written books on fasting, and when people fast, their body goes into a state of ketosis, and so that the body doesn't burn all the muscle up as fuel.
[00:02:11]  Now, you can get in a state of nutritional ketosis, or I call it the keto zone, different from diabetic ketoacidosis.
[00:02:18]  This is not diabetic ketoacidosis.
[00:02:20]  That's a dangerous state.
[00:02:21]  But in the keto zone, you're in a state of nutritional ketosis or keto adaptation where your body shifts from burning sugar as its fuel to burning fat and ketones as its fuel.
[00:02:33]  Now, the favorite fuel for the brain, Jim, are ketones.
[00:02:37]  They are the favorite fuel.
[00:02:39]  Ketones are produced by the liver.
[00:02:40]  They're called endogenous ketones.
[00:02:42]  The favorite fuel for the muscles are ketones.
[00:02:46]  The favorite fuel for the kidneys are ketones.
[00:02:49]  So this is really one of the best fuels we can use.
[00:02:52]  But when you're in a state of ketosis, appetite is turned off or way down.
[00:02:57]  Literally, people are filled or satisfied for hours.
[00:03:01]  Many only need two meals a day.
[00:03:03]  Wow.
[00:03:03]  But I got to tell you, one of the things he does, just one of the things, is you're going to be eating a lot of fat.
[00:03:09]  Yes.
[00:03:09]  You've got to get over the fat phobia.
[00:03:11]  You're going to eat keto.
[00:03:12]  You're going to be, wait a minute.
[00:03:13]  You're telling me he's going to tell me eating fat and I'm wanting to lose weight?
[00:03:17]  Yes.
[00:03:17]  I mean, that just didn't go.
[00:03:19]  You have no idea.
[00:03:20]  I don't work.
[00:03:21]  When I met Jim, he was on this fat-free diet.
[00:03:25]  And I was like, I can just tell you right now, fat-free diets are horrible for us.
[00:03:31]  Horrible.
[00:03:32]  Absolutely.
[00:03:32]  And he was like, oh, no, I've got to do fat-free.

=== Healthy Saturated Fats (05:54) ===

[00:03:35]  And I was like, I'm the worst thing.
[00:03:38]  Yeah, but there's good fat and bad fat, isn't there?
[00:03:40]  Absolutely.
[00:03:41]  That's what I learned.
[00:03:42]  And that's what I talk about in one of my chapters on fats.
[00:03:45]  They're good fats.
[00:03:46]  But again, saturated fats.
[00:03:48]  Saturated fats have been so maligned as the enemy.
[00:03:52]  In fact, you have to have fat.
[00:03:53]  Your brain is a bad thing.
[00:03:55]  Your brain is about 60% fat.
[00:03:57]  Did you know that?
[00:03:58]  You have a fat brain?
[00:04:00]  If you don't, it's in trouble.
[00:04:02]  But you want healthy saturated fats.
[00:04:04]  You don't want saturated fats from regular butter and cream and cheese that's from cows that are injected with hormones, fed a lot of grains and fed genetically modified.
[00:04:15]  You know, the most common food fed to animals, cattle, hogs, you know what it is?
[00:04:20]  Genetically modified soy and genetically modified corn.
[00:04:24]  And that's full of mold.
[00:04:26]  It's usually moldy, which collects an animal's fat.
[00:04:28]  They're given tremendous amount of antibiotics.
[00:04:31]  There's over 400 different medications given to animals.
[00:04:34]  Over 80% of the antibiotics made and soldered are for animals, not for humans.
[00:04:39]  And they're chucked full of antibiotic residues, pesticide residues, as well as herbicide residues.
[00:04:46]  And when you eat all that animal fat, you get a lot of those toxins in it.
[00:04:50]  So that's why I recommend grass-fed beef.
[00:04:53]  Yes.
[00:04:54]  I also recommend the chickens that are not grain-fed, but are, and the pastured chicken.
[00:05:01]  Let me give you an example.
[00:05:02]  This morning we were eating breakfast, and I told the cook to give me two eggs over easy.
[00:05:07]  With the yolks, and yolks are important.
[00:05:09]  So he cooked me these two eggs and brought them to the table, and I took one bite and almost, I mean, I literally was like, oh, these taste terrible.
[00:05:17]  So I look over at what he's cooking.
[00:05:19]  He's got this oil that he cooks it in, and it just saw them.
[00:05:23]  It's vegetable oil.
[00:05:23]  It was vegetable oil.
[00:05:25]  So I go back to him and I said, sir, I'm sorry.
[00:05:27]  I should have told you cooked mine in butter.
[00:05:30]  I only cook my eggs in butter, real butter.
[00:05:33]  So is vegetable oil not good?
[00:05:35]  Oh, okay.
[00:05:36]  Most vegetable oil.
[00:05:37]  Let me explain something.
[00:05:38]  That's a common mistake most people make.
[00:05:41]  They go and they say, oh, don't worry, it's vegetable oil.
[00:05:45]  Do you know the most common oil consumed in America is soybean oil, which is a polyunsaturated fat.
[00:05:52]  It's highly inflammatory and it's almost always genetically modified, making it highly inflammatory to the body.
[00:05:57]  And isn't it highly inflammatory, which I've learned from you?
[00:06:00]  Yes.
[00:06:01]  Is what causes most of diseases, absolutely.
[00:06:05]  And also, do you know most French fries are fried in corn oil, which is highly inflammatory.
[00:06:12]  But get back to butter.
[00:06:13]  Yes, butter, a little butter is great.
[00:06:15]  If you don't have access to grass-fed butter, a little butter is good.
[00:06:19]  Even better is grass-fed butter or grass-fed ghee.
[00:06:22]  Now, I'm not asking you to eat it by the spoonful.
[00:06:25]  Moderation is the key with saturated fats.
[00:06:28]  Also, we talked about grass-fed meats, coconut oil, MCT oil.
[00:06:32]  The king of fats, I tell people, is organic extra virgin olive oil.
[00:06:36]  Now, I consume a tremendous amount of that.
[00:06:39]  No, he drinks it by a little.
[00:06:41]  He pours it in a cup.
[00:06:43]  He does, a little Dixie cup.
[00:06:45]  He pours it in.
[00:06:46]  Not the big Dixie cup.
[00:06:48]  No, no, the little three ounce.
[00:06:50]  I take half a cup.
[00:06:51]  He drinks it.
[00:06:52]  I'll drink a half a cup.
[00:06:53]  I cannot do that.
[00:06:54]  Absolutely.
[00:06:55]  I love it.
[00:06:55]  I love olive oil.
[00:06:56]  And you told Jim to do that, and he hasn't done it yet.
[00:07:00]  Well, can I tell you, I take in at least 10 tablespoons of healthy fats a day.
[00:07:06]  Now, listen, when you take in 10 tablespoons of fats and you minimize your sugars, your starches, your carbs, moderation in proteins.
[00:07:12]  I don't recommend a lot of proteins, animal proteins, that is.
[00:07:16]  And then you got to have veggies, veggies, veggies.
[00:07:18]  For lunch today, I was eating salmon with garlic on it, with a little butter on it, with some lemon on it, as well as broccoli with butter.
[00:07:28]  I was totally keto.
[00:07:29]  I was in the keto zone.
[00:07:30]  Yes.
[00:07:31]  And so, again, when you get in this keto zone and the oils you want, you want those health.
[00:07:35]  No hurt turns off, though.
[00:07:36]  No hunger at all for hours.
[00:07:38]  When you're in the keto zone, your hunger completely turns off.
[00:07:42]  For a bad food.
[00:07:43]  It does.
[00:07:44]  Right.
[00:07:44]  I mean, you don't crave anything.
[00:07:46]  You're satisfied and you feel good.
[00:07:49]  When you started me on health and eating right, I didn't for years crave any junk food.
[00:07:58]  I didn't want it anymore.
[00:07:59]  I was happy.
[00:08:01]  But there's times now when I just want to go eat Kentucky fried chicken.
[00:08:07]  You know?
[00:08:08]  Yeah.
[00:08:08]  With grease just dripping down.
[00:08:12]  Your body's needing an oil change.
[00:08:13]  You're due for an oil change.
[00:08:15]  And the oil you're needing is going to be fish oil is number one.
[00:08:19]  That's your most important oil for your body.
[00:08:21]  Fish oil.
[00:08:22]  Number two, olive oil.
[00:08:23]  You need that extra virgin olive oil.
[00:08:26]  Or another really good one is avocado oil.
[00:08:29]  Avocados are so healthy.
[00:08:32]  And what's so neat, they're so low in carbs.
[00:08:34]  I use avocados all the time.
[00:08:36]  Avocado oil.
[00:08:37]  I'll put it in my smoothies.
[00:08:38]  Don't have olive oil in your smoothies.
[00:08:41]  It ruins your smoothies.
[00:08:42]  But avocado oil tastes delicious.
[00:08:45]  MCT oil, that comes from coconut oil.
[00:08:48]  But this kind of MCT oil will not raise your cholesterol.
[00:08:51]  See, you say you're worried about cholesterol.
[00:08:53]  I'm not, but your doctor is, because if you have too much coconut oil, yes, it will raise your cholesterol.
[00:08:59]  It doesn't raise your dangerous cholesterol.
[00:09:02]  It raises your pattern AP that's neutral.
[00:09:06]  It doesn't cause heart disease.
[00:09:08]  See, again, I educate you in the book that fat is not your enemy.
[00:09:12]  When you have the right amount of fat and the right fats and the right proportions, it does not cause heart disease.
[00:09:17]  That has been debunked, but most doctors still do not know that.
[00:09:21]  We have had some of the most incredible research out in the past few years.
[00:09:24]  Now you can eat whole eggs.
[00:09:26]  You can eat the yolk.
