KEY QUOTE: “We often use food to celebrate as a form of pleasure seeking. Eating that pizza just because it’s fun and brings pleasure, it’s actually a poor approach for someone who is horribly insulin resistant or overweight.” — Dr. Adam Nally

Here’s what Jimmy and Adam talked about in Episode 29:

– How do you handle family gatherings where non-keto food is served without disappointing family members?

My girlfriend went to her best friend’s house and her family had made a huge homemade pizza. She felt like she had to eat what was put in front of her and she made the choice to just eat the toppings. But she felt like she was going to be judged by not eating everything and thus offending these people she loves. What’s the best way to deal with this kind of situation? My girlfriend and I have been in ketosis for the past month without being kicked out and I think the social aspect of eating this way is the hardest aspect of being successful.

– Does the kind of carbohydrate you consume matter in limiting your intake while pursuing ketosis?

Hi Jimmy and the Doc! A carb is a carb is a carb…or is it?! I have been following keto for about a year now and have actually seen a large number of my friends join in and start eating ketogenic as well. However, we have found that there is a slight difference between us. Some of us have noted and realized that we are so insulin resistant that we keep need to keep our carbs around 20g daily while others of us can consume upwards of 40g and still be in ketosis. One person in our group has stated that eating carbs, whether it is from sugar or bread or vegetables, all turn turn to sugar in your body. So she claims she can fulfill her 35g of carbs by eating M&Ms if she wants to and it will still process in her body the same as if she were eating 35g of vegetables. I’m not sure that I believe this but I am curious what the implications are on the body when eating simple carbs like sugar, fake sugars, and flour vs. getting them from complex sources such as leafy greens and other types of low-carb fruits and veggies.

– Could eating a ketogenic diet act as a preventative or therapeutic treatment of cataracts?

Hello Jimmy and Doc,

Jocelyn

– Is it detrimental to fat-adaptation to come out of ketosis temporarily from time to time?

Hello Jimmy and the Doc! Can you be fat adapted and get kicked out of ketosis? I have been keto and fat adapted for over two years. I have lost 108 pounds and I lift heavy. Sometimes when I overdo the protein or eat enough berries to increase my carbohydrate intake, I measure my blood ketones four hours later and they’re 0.2 -0.4. Then it takes me 12- 24 hours to get blood ketones back above 1.0 mmol again.  So, am I still keto-adapted? Do I need to be worried about getting kicked out of ketosis like this? 

Mary

– How does someone with hyperinsulinemia deal with lower ketone levels?

Hi Jimmy and Dr. Adam,
