What's the difference between primal and keto? How do I know if I'm in ketosis? Do I have to be in ketosis to burn fat?
We're tackling these questions and a whole lot more in today's episode.
In episode 387 I laid the foundation for our week of discussion around ketogenic diets. I defined ketosis, ketones and talked a little bit about "clean keto" versus all those keto plans touting ketogenic treats & desserts.
In episode 388 I had the great pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson (author of The Primal Blueprint) and talking about his newest book, The Keto Reset Diet.
Today we're doing a bit of a debrief on those episodes to answer some questions and dive deeper into some of the powerful points we rushed through in episode 388.
If you've got questions about fat burning, ketosis or anything we talked about in episodes 387 or 388, don't miss this episode!
Reminder: next week I'm hosting a free mindset & motivation masterclass. The more we talk about nutrition & consistency, the more I feel the need to tackle mindset and the ability to create motivation because we can know a lot about nutrition strategy but not have the mental muscle to consistently implement it.
I hope you'll join me!
