In this video we are going to talk about how you know that you are fat adapted or keto adapted. And what is the difference between ketosis and being fat-adapted. Im going to tell you about my personal experience about being on the keto diet for almost 3 months now.

Being in ketosis means that you have between 0,5 to 3 level of blood ketones. You can be in ketosis but still not being fat adapted or keto adapted.

If you fast for an extended time like you stop eating at 6 in the evening and you fast until the morning you will have a light for of ketosis, but it doesn't mean you are fat adapted.

Fat adapted means that your body prefers using fat as the primary fuel source for the body.

You can go back to eating carbs on a cheat day but then your body very fast will go back to burning fat again. There is a lot of confusion about what it means to be Keto adopted or fat adapted and that is simply because there isn't a scientific definition for what this is.

The longer you are on a Ketogenic diet the better your body will feel and the better adjusted you will be. Think about it your whole life you have probably been on a sugar diet and it takes time until your body works out fully how to digest and process fat. I have read that it can actually take up to 6 months.

Here are the symptoms that you are going to experience when you are keto adjusted.

1. Increased focus and awareness
2. Better energy levels
3. The non existence of carb cravings
4. Your appetite goes down a lot
5.Your body starts preferring the fatty foods and the ketogenic diet

As I said that it happens on a gradient and the more you do the diet the more of these signs you will notice. I still had carb cravings for up to 2 months into the diet.

The ketogenic diet is a long process and is a lifestyle change. But it will be more than worth it if you push through.
