Hi everybody! Welcome to the Keto Mom page, we are diving into a one o'clock tasting and a Keto tip. The Keto tips are the questions that you asked yesterday, I'm going to answer them today. So as you're tuning in, where are you tuning in from? I'm going to shake up my Mom Fuel, and I'm going to answer your questions for you. All right! If you're brand new, post "New" below. I want to connect with you, I want to know what your goals are, and help you on your journey. If you're not brand new, I hope you're having a great day. Thank you for always tuning in, your presence matters. I love seeing you hop on, I love sharing with you, and I wish I could say faces, too.
But anyway, we're going to talk about the questions of the day. The questions that got asked yesterday were, "To lose weight, what do my net carbs or total carbs need to be?. We're going to talk about weight loss, fat loss, and some food ideas. I had a lot of people say "I just need some new food ideas". I'm going to give you a concept around that.
And then "Is keto like low carb?", "What's the difference between keto and low carb?". Also, there were three questions about Ketones. "How often do I drink my ketones or My mom fuel?", "When do I drink them, and how quickly do I drink them?"... Those are the main questions, and I'll talk about my Mom Fuel as well. So how is your day? I'm shaking up one of these liquid flavors. I shook the same one yesterday because I'm a little obsessed with it. I'm not going to lie, I love it. Normally, I shake up a powder. I already had one of these early this morning before my workout at 6 A.M, and I'm having another one right now. I'll talk about Ketones first since I'm going to shake it up for you.
And then I'll head on to fat loss, food ideas, and then keto versus low carb. If you press the share button, let me know that you shared. I need you to actually tell me that you shared in the comments, like say I shared or shared. In yesterday's video, I wasn't able to pick any winners, because it won't show me the names. It showed a whole bunch of people shared, but I was not able to see the names, so I couldn't pick a winner. I'll do that today... For now, what I'm going to do is pop this baby open. I'm going to shake it in twelve to sixteen ounces of water. If it's too sweet, you can add more water. This one is sweet or sour. So if you want it less sour or less sweet, you just need to add more or less water. My husband uses twenty-four ounces of water, and I usually use twelve. It doesn't matter how much you use, it's up to you...
Okay! The three questions that I got asked were, first "How often do I drink ketones?". This is how I actually started our low-carb or keto lifestyle. I did not start by just taking out all the food. I did not take out all the food. I started with one meal at a time, one day at a time. One new recipe at a time, and one new vegetable at a time. It took me a solid year before I was felt like "I got this", "I can do this", "I can eat some vegetables"...
But what got me through the possible Keto flu, not eating bread, pasta, sugar, and my low energy, were Ketones.
I took my very first packet, and I shook it up. I was at a homeschool conference because we homeschool our four daughters. And I was probably the only mom awake at that three o'clock mark. I remember calling my husband and telling him, "I don't know what this is, but I love them. I need more of them"... That's all I knew, and then the more I've learned over the last six and a half years is that Ketones are a fuel source.
So every day I would drink one packet. I did not even touch fasting or intermittent fasting for years. I would eat bacon and eggs, sausage and eggs, or just some sausage. I would drink some water, drink my ketones, and then I'd be good for the rest of the day. I would eat a salad, or I would just do the best that I could without tracking my food right away, and I was just being mindful. Ketones gave me energy and appetite control. I didn't go through the Keto flu, and I felt incredible. I drink one every day, no matter what. And it doesn't matter what time you drink the NAT.
You could drink it in the morning if you're a morning person, and maybe you want to cut out your coffee. If you want to drink your coffee, it isn't bad, it's really not. It's actually all of the sugary stuff you put in your coffee.
If you love your coffee, and you love your morning routine. Then I'll say drink it mid-morning, drink it before lunch or right after lunch. Maybe you have a time during your day, like at two, three, or four o'clock where you feel like you really need something to get you through your afternoon. Then I would say drink it after lunch.
I drink two a day now, but only because I'm not a coffee drinker or an energy drinker. So I drink one early in the morning as I'm working out, and I drink one later in the day, just depending on my day.
I've got a whole bunch of my nieces and nephews coming over, so I'm drinking it earlier. I need to go to the grocery store before they all come here. That's why I'm doing this at one o'clock instead of later. I drink two packets most days, but some days I'm fine with one, it just depends. It's a fuel source, like some of you drink a pot of coffee in the morning, afternoon, and evening. It's the same concept, but this is just clean fuel... When you shake Ketones up, and you don't drink it right away, it'll be fine throughout the day. But if you're going to drink it, I always tell people to try to drink it in under an hour.
