Can You Eat Unlimited Steak & Bacon On The Ketogenic Diet?

Some people have a false idea about, you know, keto, that it's all like steak and bacon and cream and all this stuff. It's not necessarily that.

No. In fact, you can eat too much in the way of, well, I mean, a lot of people who first come to keto do so because they, I heard that I can eat 4,500 calories a day and not gain weight. You know, and I'm like, well, yeah, some of the science shows that, but that's horrible because.

That's a bad idea.

That's a bad idea because, first of all, if you want to burn off your stored body fat, eating 4,500 calories a day will never tap into your stored body fat. That's just trying to prime the pump with this external source of fuel that's fat, that's circulating through your bloodstream. And that amount of calories, because you're not generating insulin, which is a nutrient storage hormone, the nutrients have nowhere to go. The body has to figure out how do I burn this stuff off? I can't store it as fat. so the body undergoes this thermogenic, high heat kind of thing.

Well, that's so powerful because people don't understand that if you don't have insulin, which is only produced by eating carbohydrates or protein, can also increase insulin. If you don't have insulin, you can't gain weight.
