: Episode 950 - Nicole Recine RN, MSN (@nicolrecine) joins Vinnie to talk about what exogenous ketones (ketone supplements) are used for and address the question of whether or not they should be used as part of an NSNG lifestyle. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club EXOGENOUS KETONES Keep your carb intake really low so your body will start buying into the whole ketones thing You DON'T need to be in ketosis to lose weight, for the record Hence, general NSNG is more sustainable  Short-term particularly, cutting out sugar and grains is effective enough  Exogenous ketones are ketones that  you can actually ingest Ketone supplements are a more common name for this  First served Navy Seals when they had to be in place for hours upon hours Tasted horrible So their body could start using its own fat to live because they didn't know how long they had to be there Also, for deep diving to prevent seizures  If you're taking these, it probably won't help you lose weight Don't take these -- cut out sugar or grains, or go into natural ketosis  If you're giving your body ketones, it won't naturally go into ketosis based off of what food you're actually eating A trend, more company producing these Don't buy into it Preying on good intentions
