When does autophagy start? I would hypothesize that autophagy is induced around the 16 hour mark of a fast. This also depends on whether or not you go into the fast in ketosis or not. Autophagy has many benefits, one of them is that it activates the clean up of your cells. When the body does not have food, it needs to get energy from somewhere; so it goes for damaged cells, proteins and DNA. 💀 We have cells within our body that begin to dysfunction, and they stick around causing us to age faster. We call them zombie cells — because they refuse to die. 🤬 As they build up in your body, studies suggest, they promote aging and the conditions that come with it like osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. 🥺 Zombie cells are actually called senescent cells. They start out normal but then encounter a stress, like damage to their DNA or viral infection. At that point, a cell can choose to die or become a zombie, basically entering a state of suspended animation. 😫 The problem is that zombie cells release chemicals that can harm nearby normal cells. That's where the trouble starts. 🧐 Researchers have also shown that transplanting zombie cells into young mice basically made them act older: their maximum walking speed slowed down, and their muscle strength and endurance decreased. Tests showed the implanted cells converted other cells to zombie status. 😔 🛁 One of the best ways to kill off these zombie cells is a process called autophagy. 🧼 😳 Autophagy literally means "eat thy self"; it's the process of cleaning up damaged cells. ✨ Think of the refrigerator you have inside your kitchen. 🧀🥗🥛 🥘 It has groceries that all have an expiration date. What will happen if you let these groceries expire, and instead of throwing the expired food in the trash, you push it toward the back of the fridge? 🤔 🤢 This is going to lead to a toxic environment! Mold, bacteria, and many other disgusting processes will occur. 💯 The human body is like this refrigerator; it has cells, fats, and proteins that all have expiration dates on them. ⏱ If you aren’t intentionally “taking out the trash” so-to-speak, within your body; this can lead to diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 👎🏻 🍽 ⏰ Fasting helps your body get rid of these expired products! Fasting triggers the process of autophagy, which breaks down and recycles dysfunctional proteins, and cellular debris. This is why world-renowned cancer doctor Thomas Seyfried says, “If you complete a seven-day water only fast, once per year, you reduce your chances of getting any cancer by up to 95%!” 😳😳😳 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.com / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off // R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Here's why... Yes, excess protein can convert into gluconeogenesis inside the body (the creation of sugar), but, if you are in ketosis at the time of consuming the protein, the excess glucose will be used to replenish glycogen stores. This keeps you in a state of ketosis! How much protein converts to glucose? It's true, excess protein turns into glucose. How much protein converts to glucose levels? According to the research of Dr Gabrielle Lyon, about 60% of protein is converted into blood sugars. Will too much protein kick you out of ketosis? As I mentioned above, the excess is used to replenish empty sugar reserves.   So the answer is no, most of the time. A common question I have been asked if eating too much protein will cause weight gain, the opposite is true. The next time someone asks you does eating too much protein make you fat, tell them it is almost impossible. I believe eating more protein can help you with weight loss. Protein is also great because it activates satiety hormones which helps you feel full for longer. Increasing Protein and Fat Will Put You at Risk for Heart Disease Science is showing us that it’s not protein that leads to heart disease, it’s the other stuff that we eat that can clog our arteries. 🎓 Join the Keto Kamp Membership for only $5!: http://www.startketokap.com / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off // R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

USE KETOKAMP AT CHECKOUT FOR A DISCOUNT In this episode, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart open the show speaking about the four stages of fat adaptation. In the first stage, your body will not be efficient in utilizing ketones. After your body is fat-adapted and you have been following the ketogenic lifestyle, your body will start to hold onto glucose in the muscles. Matt and Wade explain how you can reset your leptin levels by refeeding twice a week. Plus, we talk about when it's essential to pay attention to your ghrelin levels. Tune in as we speak about the importance of fasting, magnesium, and why you should consider having a limited food selection. / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com [02:15] About Matt Gallant Using keto, Matt went from 147 to 235 naturally. There was some fat in that weight gain, but there was also a lot of muscle. Matt became obsessed with bodybuilding and would work out twice a day. [03:45] The Four Stages of Fat Adaptation The Keto Flu Phase When you start keto, your body is not efficient in utilizing ketones for energy. You will not have energy during this phase. Feeling Good You will start to reap the rewards. It’s the right time to cut carbs and boost fat. You want to force your body to become efficient and effective in burning fat as fuel. Start Carb Cycling Start doing some carb refeeds. Bump up protein. This phase will last nine months. Long-Term Keto Exercise performance will be as good as it was on carbs. You hold onto more glucose in the muscle. [17:00] Resetting Your Leptin Levels Matt had lost thirty pounds of body fat. He wanted to lose ten more pounds before his wedding. If you lose weight too fast, then your body will get triggered for survival mode. As soon as your body becomes threatened that it might starve, it will increase your hunger hormone, ghrelin. It’s not a bad thing to experience hunger from time to time. Two refeeds each week are ideal and optimal. It will help you reset leptin. If you refeed for two days, you will regain lost muscle tissue. [37:25] When To Pay Attention To Your Ghrelin When fasting, your body will pump out ghrelin an hour before your typical mealtime is. If you eat at 9 am, then at 8 am, you will get a ghrelin spike. If you skip breakfast for three to five days, then your ghrelin spike will disappear. What makes someone fail a diet is hunger and cravings. When you’re dieting, you’ll be facing some hunger. The way a diet will work is if you can manage the hunger. Most people just quit their diets because of their willpower. What’s the difference between psychological hunger and physiological hunger? Most people’s hunger is psychological. The benefit of fasting and keto is that you can discern the difference between psychological hunger and physiological hunger. There is a benefit to go through hunger phases. [44:10] Following Keto Without A Gallbladder If you are going to attempt keto without a gallbladder, get yourself some medical advice. You can get into a lot of trouble if you mess this up. When you eat something nasty, the damage is going to happen in your liver or gallbladder. If you have a high calcium-based diet, you can impair enzymatic function. [48:30] Breaking Your Fast As A Female Females do better if they break their fast in the morning. Men do better if they break their fast later in the day. Hormones peak and cycle – it can affect your mood, productivity, and your ability to maintain your diet. Females can get into the ghrelin monsters faster than men do. [50:45] The Importance Of Having Less Food Selection   Less food selection is much better for a whole bunch of reasons. You are making fewer decisions. There will be fewer cravings. However, don’t eat the same thing every single day. Instead of having forty different meals that you rotate from, maybe have ten or twelve. [53:10] How To Support The Mitochondria   The biggest hack you can do is high-intensity interval training. Most hormone-related stressors will improve mitochondria like cold showers.

The number one health search term on Dr Google this year is... Intermittent fasting! For good reason, fasting is one of the most powerful tools in the health shed... ... when it is done right. Most people who practice fasting do not experience the wonderful benefits it has to offer because they simply don't know the rules. There's 3 things you can do to make intermittent fasting easier so you can accelerate fat loss and increase mental clarity. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com The first way to make intermittent fasting easier for you is to build up your fasting muscle by getting keto adapted. When the metabolism has the flexibility to shift from burning through its sugar reserves to tapping into fat stores, this accelerates fat loss and the benefits of fasting. The second way to get better results with fasting is for you to use fasting crutches if you need to. There's certain items you can have during a fast, and still maximize it's benefits. Here are my favorite fasting crutches: tea coffee fats bone broth The third way to make fasting easier is to break the fast with mostly protein and fat; not carbohydrates and fat. I went live today via my YouTube channel to dig deeper into 3 principles.

In this episode, Vinnie Tortorich joins the show and dives into his background helping Hollywood starlets lose weight. We talk about why Vinnie wouldn't use the word keto during the beginning years of his podcast. Also, Vinnie explains why insulin is so crucial for our bodies to function and the reason why you're not going to get fat by eating fat. Stay tuned as Vinnie gives us the scoop on his movie, Fat: A Documentary. Plus, he reveals the big news of part two and part three coming soon!  ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 10 Part Keto Playlist Series: https://youtu.be/-B5m3vSFKlo // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:40] About Vinnie Tortorich In Hollywood, Vinnie helped actors and actresses lose weight. Movie companies need their starlets to look a certain way. Vinnie would receive the call to get people into shape in three weeks. You can’t run off fourteen months of bad behavior. Instead, weight loss is all about diet. Vinnie knew that meat is a great way to lose weight, decrease inflammation, and feel better overall. Plus, meat is heart-healthy. Vinnie wrote the book Fitness Confidential; he didn’t want to put the word ketosis in the book. He knew the medical community would say he was trying to kill people.  [06:45] Why Vinnie Never Used The Word “Keto” In 2013, Vinnie heard about net carbs. It doesn’t work! If it worked, Vinnie would tell people to do it. Vinnie gives away his information for free – he has never charged for his information. So, why would he lie to anyone? Vinnie owns the rights to NSNG (no sugars, no grains). No one is certifying the word “keto.” You can take a bowl of sugar, wrap it up, and say it’s keto-certified. In reality, it’s not keto-certified because it’s not good for you. [12:15] Why Insulin Is Important If insulin is so bad, then why do people need it to live? Insulin is a hormone that we need to live. All hormones control mechanisms in our bodies. Insulin does a lot of things. It gets released to go down and cover sugar in our liver. When you eat a piece of fruit, the sugar gets to your liver. Then, the insulin will convert sugar into glucose and stores it around your body. In order to maintain homeostasis, we only have a couple of teaspoons in our blood. Sugar can’t go anywhere. So, our body will store it as fat though long-chain triglycerides. The long-chain triglycerides take a lot of work to break it down. When we eat too many carbs, you are getting an insulin load. It makes us insulin resistant. Then, we can end up type 2 diabetes. The key is to eat foods that are insulin friendly. [18:25] Can Fat Make You Fat? Yes, fat can you make you fat if you eat it in excess. However, fats aren’t going to make you eat in excess. For example, you can eat a whole bag of corn chips. Once you start eating them, you can’t stop. People who are obese can’t stop eating corn chips. While on the other hand, if you went to steakhouse, and you had a giant fatty steak. When you take the last bite and they bring you a second steak, you would bag it up and take it home. Why is that? With the Doritos, the hormones are pouring out. With the meat, you feel satiated. You are going to feel full on fatty things vs. carbs. [27:50] Drinking Too Much Heavy Cream Vinnie tells a story about one of his clients, Gabriella, who stopped losing weight. She had another thirty pounds to go. Gabriella would drink coffee with heavy cream in the morning and eggs. She explains the rest of her diet and it was all perfect. However, Gabriella was actually drinking 18 oz of heavy cream every morning. Even when you have too much fat, you may not get fat. However, it may prevent you from losing weight. [31:55] What’s Wrong With Calories In and Calories Out Exercise more and eat less. That’s challenging to do, and it doesn’t even work! Thirty minutes on treadmill, you might not even burn a bag of M&M’s. You can’t run off a bag of M&M’s. How are you going to burn off snacks and alcohol? If you run a car out of gas, you can’t expect it to keep running. You can’t run your body out of energy and think it’s going to keep running. Athletes can bonk in the middle of a race. So, how do you get your body fat-adapted? Once your body learns how to use fat as energy, it will do it right away. [37:50] The Inspiration behind FAT: A Documentary Vinnie has been doing a podcast for nine years about low carb. Everyone told Vinnie that he needs a movie. However, he didn’t have the money to make it. So, Vinnie did crowdfunding for the movie. He got over $260,000 to make the movie. On day two of FAT: A Documentary on iTunes, they were soaring up the charts. The next day, FAT: A Documentary was number one on iTunes. When they filmed the first movie, there was too much footage. During COVID, Vinnie used the extra footage to make Fat 2. Bonus! Vinnie is also working on part three. AND MUCH MORE!

Yes, coffee can be healthy and help with weight loss. Watch for the benefits of adding fats to your coffee, and 3 ways to enhance your coffee. ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off How to Make a Fatty Cup of Coffee (Best Keto Coffee in the World!): https://youtu.be/aRCLnzcFcR4 // TIMESTAMPS 00:49 The number 1 tip: When is the best time to drink coffee? Drinking coffee first thing in the morning does not wake you up, make you alert or give you an energy boost. All it does, according to science, is raise your tolerance for caffeine so that you need to drink more and more of it to feel any effects at all. If you drink coffee when cortisol is high, the effects are almost non-existent. Compared to cortisol, caffeine is weak tea. The only thing coffee does for you within two hours of waking is to increase your tolerance for caffeine. If you drink coffee when cortisol is low, caffeine gently nudges your adrenals to give you a hit of adrenalin and you will feel more awake and alert. Studies in humans have shown that caffeine increases cortisol and epinephrine at rest, and that levels of cortisol after caffeine consumption are similar to those experienced during an acute stress. Compounding the problem, people tend to consume more caffeine during stressful periods. They add stress to stress, potentially making things even worse. Rat studies have shown that caffeine consumption during chronic stress increased cortisol, blood pressure, and other negative hormonal events. Chronically stressed rats who consumed caffeine ended up sicker, and died sooner, than rats experiencing chronic stress without caffeine consumption. Reference from Dr Michael Breaus: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-b... Study on high cortisol from poor sleep: https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar... Caffeine cortisol increase study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti.... 03:15 The number 2 tip: add salt to your coffee. Coffee acts as a diuretic. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19774... My favorite salt is from Redmonds: https://amzn.to/3lEOAR6 04:23 The number 3 tip: Add healthy fats to your coffee. Are you adding butter to your coffee? What are the benefits of bulletproof coffee? Popularized by Dave Asprey as Bulletproof Coffee. By adding fats to your coffee, you are slowing the absorption of the caffeine into your system and prolonging its effects. Balances Insulin & Maintains Blood Sugar Levels: Like the first example, when fats slow down your absorption of coffee it actually helps to prevent sharp insulin spikes and blood sugar crashes. The grass-fed butter or coconut oil will act as a nerve signal traffic cop by slowing the rush hour into an organized, well fueled flow of performance processes, such as the signals being driven from the gut to the liver and the pancreas to the kidneys, and so on. Fatty coffee is a great way to teach your body to utilize fatty acids for fuel, instead of glucose (Sugar). This can satiate you so you don’t eat a high carbohydrate breakfast. Studies show caffeine intake can increase ketones.Study shows caffeine doubled ketone production. Caffeine given at breakfast significantly stimulated ketone production in a dose-dependent manner (+88%; +116%) and also raised plasma free fatty acids. http://bit.ly/2V5NFMu My favorite fats to add to my coffee, grass fed ghee, brain octane oil.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a biohacker, longevity coach, ex-bodybuilder, 13-time Ironman triathlete, professional Spartan competitor, speaker, and author of the New York Times Bestseller “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health, and Life, Ben Greenfield.  Ben leapt hardcore into the fitness world, partnering with physicians and opening a series of personal training studios, gyms, and physiology and biomechanics labs across northern Idaho and eastern Washington, and eventually was voted as America’s top personal trainer in 2008. While building his empire in the brick-and-mortar fitness industry, Ben competed as one of the top-ranked amateur triathletes in the world, completing over 120 races and 12 Ironman triathlons while racing for the elite Team Timex multisport team, winning gold medal for the USA in long course triathlon, and leading squads of swim, bike, and run enthusiasts in guided adventures through Hawaii, Thailand, Japan and beyond. Eventually, Ben became the father of twin sons and pivoted into media, writing, speaking, and consulting, launching one of the world’s first fitness podcasts, becoming a New York Times bestselling author of “Beyond Training” and 13 books, designing and creating the Christian Gratitude Journal, and starting a blog that now reaches over a million rabid fans each month. In 2013 and 2014, Ben was named as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and by 2015, Ben was coaching the world’s top CEO’s, chefs, biohackers, poker players, tennis, motocross and endurance competitors, and professional athletes from the UFC, the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and beyond—all while advising and investing in top companies in the health, fitness, and nutrition industry.  In 2016, he joined Spartan SGX as one of its certified coaches. In this episode, Ben Greenfield opens the show speaking about how he finds a work-life balance. When you understand your passions and feel inspired by your work, finding a work-life balance is entirely effortless. Ben speaks about how he lives authentically and works on giving to people as much as possible. Also, Ben talks about why he doesn’t respond to haters on the internet. Stay tuned as Ben gives his thoughts on the ketogenic lifestyle, how to upregulate glucose transporters, and all about his book, Boundless: Upgrade Your Brain, Optimize Your Body & Defy Aging. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 10 Part Keto Playlist Series: https://youtu.be/-B5m3vSFKlo // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [04:00] Finding A Work-Life Balance Finding a work-life balance is as simple as identifying your unique skillsets in life. Figure out what puts a big smile on your face. Then, shape your career around your passions and interests. Once you understand your passions and your work inspires you, finding a work-life balance will be effortless.   [06:40] The Importance of Living Authentically We live in an era where there is loads of peer pressure from social media. Ben wanted to prove to the world that he was cool. He spent fifteen years of his life disconnected from his creative self. Eventually, Ben embraced his spiritual side. He finds himself more deeply fulfilled than ever before. Live authentically so you can bring your best self out to the world and give to people as much as possible. [12:30] Responding To Hateful Internet Comments Ben does not engage to haters for a few reasons: It’s not a good use of his time. He can’t keep up. It’s draining. Ben would rather spend time with his kids than argue with people on the internet. You should try and outsource things that are not a good use of your time.   [17:25] The Inspiration Behind Boundless Ben decided to write a book about how to have all the energy that you want. He dives into digestion, hormones, fat loss, muscle, and everything about understanding the human-machine. That way, you can set up your life to give you all the energy that you want all day long. [21:55] How Ben Does Keto Cycling     Ben enjoys the mental benefits of ketosis. Now, Ben cycles in and out of ketosis. For active people and athletes, people can cycle in and out of ketosis each day. During the evenings, Ben will eat carbohydrates. There are longevity benefits of intermittent fasting. Ben does not eat breakfast – he enjoys fasting. If you do a hard workout between four and seven, then you will be more insulin sensitive in the evenings. Ben sleeps better when he saves his carbohydrates for the end of the day. [34:00] Upregulation of Glucose Transporters   Cold has an impact on glucose transporter upregulation. Ben says to try these methods: Two to three minutes in an ice bath. A five minute cold shower. A brisk thirty-minute walk outside. A dip into a cold ocean, lake, river, or pool. [41:30] Surviving On One Single Diet You can get all the nutrients and vitamins that you need from meat. Humans can survive and thrive on an all-meat diet. Athletes need more carbohydrates. However, most people can get by on a carnivore diet. Many cultures have relied on plants and herbs as food sources and medicine sources. There is a social context to our diet too. We should be able to eat different elements and bring happiness to our life. [47:30] Takeaways From Boundless There is loads of information in Ben’s book, Boundless: Upgrade Your Brain, Optimize Your Body & Defy Aging. Depending on what you are looking to learn about, you’ll want to check out different chapters. Overall, Ben wants people to understand their brain, body, and spirit better. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me a nutritionist specializing in the ketogenic diet and exercise physiology, Maria Emmerich. She is the author of several cookbooks and three nutritional guidebooks, including the bestseller “Keto: The Complete Guide to Success on The Ketogenic Diet.” Maria’s blog, mariamindbodyhealth.com, offers innovative recipes and easy-to-understand explanations of how our bodies work and the science of ketogenic lifestyles. She also runs a support site for getting all your questions answered: Keto-Adapted.com. Maria’s success stems from her passion for helping others reach and sustain optimal health through programs and education that work on a personal level. She understands the connection between food and how it makes us all feel inside and out. After struggling with her weight throughout her childhood, she decided to study health and wellness so she could help others who are discouraged by their appearance and do not feel their best. The nutrient-rich, relatively high-fat dietary approach that she developed for herself and the exotic, little-known replacements for typical high-glycemic starchy foods and sugar are what finally gave her total peace with food, something she never imagined possible. Maria and her husband Craig adopted two boys (Micah and Kai) from Ethiopia. They have raised a keto family for over 7 years showing how this lifestyle can be great for the whole family. In this episode, Maria Emmerich dives into her story and why she started living a ketogenic lifestyle. Plus, Maria reveals the inspiration behind her viral keto cookbooks, which, by the way, Halle Berry follows her work! Maria speaks about how the carnivore diet has helped her husband with his Lyme disease. Tune in as we talk about oxidative priority, and Maria reveals her favorite protein sources. ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ▸ 🎁 FREE KETO KAMP BLUEPRINT: http://www.ketokampblueprint.com 🎥 10 Part Keto Playlist Series: https://youtu.be/-B5m3vSFKlo // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [08:10] About Maria Emmerich   At 16, Maria was not feeling well. She went to the doctor and found out she had PCOS. Maria left the appointment with a few bottles of prescription drugs. When Maria cut out carbs, people got triggered by her changes. As soon as Maria cut the grains and sugar, her depression went away in days.   [12:30] How Maria Got Into Cookbooks Maria was told she couldn’t have children with PCOS. So, they adopted instead. During the adoption process, Maria’s husband lost his job. Unfortunately, they lost their house, cars, and the adoption process needed to start over. Maria’s friend suggested that she put her recipes in a book and help raise money for the adoption. The book sales went wild! Now, Maria writes so people can see low-carb as a lifestyle.   [16:50] Cookbooks Going Viral and Talking To Halle Berry Halle and Maria connected together on social media because Halle is a fan of her work. Now, Maria writes for Halle’s website. Also, watch out for more from Maria and Halle – it’s coming soon! Another one of Maria’s cookbooks was on a baking show. Plus, Al Roker was making her recipe on The Today Show.   [19:00] Getting Into The Carnivore Diet We evolve as we get older, and our diets get different. Now, Maria does not eat 100% carnivore. Maria’s husband was diagnosed with Lyme disease. He tried carnivore and felt so much better. Animal protein is where the nutrients are. Maria will add garlic and onions for flavor, not nutrients.   [26:35] About Oxidative Priority    Your body prioritizes different fuels. In order, Maria lists how our body will prioritize what we consume. The Top Six: Alcohol Exogenous ketones Carbohydrates Protein Fat Body fat Cut the alcohol, stop wasting money on exogenous ketones, and ditch the carbohydrates. Then, you can focus on eating protein so you can build muscle. If your goal is to burn body fat, then eat less fat. If you’re an athlete, eat more fat to get more energy. If you are working on mental wellbeing, eat more fat.   [35:10] Maria’s Favorite Sources of Protein Filet mignon Halibut Venison Eggs   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Maria’s Website Learn more at Keto-Adapted.com Follow Maria Emmerich Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube Read “Keto: The Complete Guide to Success on The Ketogenic Diet” Get Maria’s books Check out Ancestral Supplements Find Maria’s Keto and Carnivore Macro Calculator Join theKeto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube  // E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off // R E S O U R C E S ➡️ Keto Kamp Membership for only $5: http://www.startketokamp.com ➡️The World's Best Olive Oil | Get a $39 Bottle For a $1: http://www.ketokampoliveoil.com ☕Healthiest Coffee: http://www.ketokampcoffee.com Use "ketokamp" for 10% off ➡️Keto Kamp Apparel: http://www.ketokampgear.com *Some Links Are Affiliates* // F O L L O W ▸ instagram | @thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2B1NXKW ▸ facebook | /thebenazadi | http://bit.ly/2BVvvW6 ▸ twitter | @thebenazadi http://bit.ly/2USE0so Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.
