Power Quotes From The Show "It turns out that the Keto diet is great for therapeutic uses as well. There is some evidence to demonstrate that an elevated level of ketones can help with therapy of cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. However, even though there will be range of people who have a disease and benefit from ketosis, there will be those who do not benefit from it." - Dr. Joe Anderson "My keto-flu period lasted a long time. It lasted from 2 weeks to a month and so I tell people to give it 1-3 months. I was in a state of nutritional ketosis, but I wasn't feeling good and I almost wanted to give up, but I couldn't give up on myself that easy. I've been a sugar burner all my life and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to switch to becoming a fat burner in just a month." - Andrea Duchovonic "When you are losing fat, but you haven't been keto-adapted for a long period of time, eating foods with sugar can really hit you hard. Whereas, if you're around 6 months into a keto program and you're eating high fat and low sugar, you might be able to recover more quickly from eating a slice of cake because the machinery inside your body has already been ramped up.
