And we're going to ask you in the first six weeks to take your carb intake down to less than 20.

20 total grams of carbohydrates or less is where we begin.

And again, I do this in a medical grade.

There are people who play with a ketogenic diet and there's people who try to reverse medical problems with a ketogenic diet.

In order to do this, it is not a lazy kind of keto.

You have to actually be on the same team as me using data to reverse this medical problem.

Yeah, I think blood is the best.

There is a way you can measure them in urine.

The burning of fat, if you turn that string of fat into ketones, there are two destinies for that.

You either put it into a mitochondria and turn it into energy or you pee it out.

So especially when they're early in a ketogenic journey, they overshoot.

Evolution said, don't let them die.

Turn that fat into energy.

Help them through the famine.

So the excess ketones they make end up in their urine.

We call them ketone strips.

And they're cheap and easy.

And we don't have to cross that barrier of somebody pricking their finger at the beginning.

So they're going to pee out ketones every day as long as they're not chronic insulin resistant.

So for starters, when you're burning a ketone, there's less trash.
