Don’t Chase Keto Numbers

Don’t go chasing numbers while on KETO.

Why?

Although it’s a great tool in the beginning, it doesn’t always contain all the needed context required to assess progress with the goal of solely being in KETOSIS.

I track numbers (Ketones, Glucose & Macros) from time to time now that I’ve been on this path for some time. I use @ketomojo to check my levels and @cronometer_official for my macros when I do track. It’s a great tool but not the only tool to measure success.

Ketosis can be achieved with fasting, exogenous ketones, which I use (@perfectketones code: “JoshPerry”), MCT oil (I use @wildfoodsco code: WildJosh12), or depleting glycoen stores from high-intensity workouts.

The goal is keto-adaptation & metabolic flexibility, meaning you take the time to lower the insulin & glucose levels/stores in your body over time and you adapt to producing and utilizing ketones efficiently.

Again, there are various ways to get into ketosis but it takes time to adapt the brain and body to this alternative and superior fuel source.

Once keto-adapted and metabolically flexible, you can enjoy the benefits that keto brings with it like body composition improvements, mental clarity and energy, reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress (free radicals), liberation from hunger and cravings, improved sports performance and recovery, and reduced risk of diseases or disease/symptom management.

You can also consume sensible “smart-carbs” and amounts, once keto-adapted and gained some metabolic flexibility, at specific times of the day and it’ll help your performance, fat burning, and sometimes put you deeper into ketosis.

Again, once KETO-ADAPTED.

Don’t worry if you have lower numbers because that may mean you’re body is becoming more efficient at utilizing ketones as you build more MCT transporters to shuttle the ketones into the cells. 💚✌️

Fueled By Love

I love BMX and all it’s done for me, shown me, led me to, and what’s to come.

I began on this path of self discovery (didn’t know it at the time) while chasing my dream at the age of 17 when I left home on a mission to prove doubters wrong and live the life I desired.

I’m now doing things I never fathomed being apart of my reality. Things like motivational speaking, coaching, running my own business, and becoming featured in major media outlets like GQ, People, ESPN, Fox News, Americas Got Talent, top podcasts and many others.

I started this journey fueled by spite. Today, it’s fueled by love and gratitude with a purpose of serving others.

A bmx crash one day led to an MRI that found a massive brain tumor taking over my brain. Had I not fallen and hit my head that day, I’d be dead. That’s when my whole perspective on life shifted and gratitude to be alive took over.

I then found the ketogenic diet and fitness (after blowing out my knee and needing ACL surgery) and it’s changed my and my clients lives in such profound ways.

I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for that childhood dream but I know I’m grateful to have taken the risk of leaving everything behind in pursuit of making it happen.

I work my ass off and never give up because some people don’t have the option to even try, let alone wake up. Loosing my younger brother gave me a new perspective on my life once again and I’m going to continue working my ass for him and all those that don’t wake up as we often take for granted. 🙏🏼

F-Bomb Nut-Butter to-go Packs

No excuses, just choices.

I choose my health over anything. That’s why nutrition is my top priority in my day-to-day but is probably more equal to my mindset to be honest.

Currently on a plane and having this “F-Bomb” salted chocolate macadamia nut butter to-go pack as a snack. I travel a lot and I find ways to stay on track with the my health goals, specifically following a ketogenic diet and lifestyle.

I’m a a firm believer in life being a manifestation of our choices. Saying you want your life to be different requires new changes and choices.

Choices to make excuses of why not rather than pursuing the path you know will help your goals is going to keep you right there where you say you don’t want to be.

This is just one of many products out there to help keep you on track, even for “on-the-go” people like myself. Some other brands I consume, trust, support, and love are:

Don’t Go Chasing Numbers

Don’t go chasing numbers while on KETO.

Why?

Although it’s a great tool in the beginning, it doesn’t always contain all the needed context required to asses progress with the goal of being in KETOSIS- Fat/Keto adaptation.

I track numbers (Ketones, Glucose & Macros) from time to time now that I’ve been on this path for some time. I use Keto-mojo to check my levels and Cronometer for my macros when I do track. It’s a great tool but not the only tool to measure success.

The goal isn’t ketosis. That can be achieved with fasting, exogenous ketones, which I use (PerfectKeto code: “JoshPerry”), MCT oil (I use Garden of Life), or depleting glycoen stores from vigorous workouts.

The goal is keto-adaptation and metabolic flexibility, meaning you take the time to lower the insulin and glucose levels/stores in your body over time and you adapt to producing and utilizing ketones efficiently.

Again, there are various ways to get into ketosis but it takes time to adapt the brain and body to this alternative and superior fuel source.

Client Success – Joe Curcuru

My client, Joe Curcuru, is an amazing person all around and is killing it! I am beyond grateful to be in his corner and to see his face light up every week we meet. 🙏🏼

Matt Arthur aka @919Spine introduced the two of us while crossing paths to get adjusted one day about 2 months ago.

He told me about Joe’s amazing transformational story of removing 50pounds or so in 6 months by cleaning up his eating and getting his butt in the gym.

Joe was very curious about KETO and we sat down for a conversation and decided to work together to create some more progress.

Joe wanted to progress with his success and continue improving the health of his brain at the same time. He’s now down ever more fat mass, up in lean muscle mass, down in visceral fat (dangerous fat around the organs), can go 16-18hrs without food effortlessly, last week of type-2 diabetes medication, and overall happier and energized. 🙌🏼

Joe has a similar beginning to a lot of people out there and Joe wants them to know if they truly want to change, they can if he can.

I’m honored to be apart of his journey and share his success with all of you to hopefully inspire even just one of you to make a change and/or reach out to someone like myself for support. 🙏🏼💚✌️
