Hey everyone, Carlo Macapinlac here from NewbieFitnessAcademy.com, I help busy professionals reach their fat
loss goals so they can feel more confident, be ready for any situation, and get the most
out of their lives. And in this video, I'm gonna teach you how to figure out your keto
diet macros ratio. This is the exact same process that I used
with one of my coaching clients and he's gone to become one of my best success stories.
He also happens to be my Dad. So you know it works. If you wanna know exactly how he
did it, make sure you stick around until the end of the video. And if you're new to the

new video every week. Alright, let's dive in.
Okay so let's talk about what a ketogenic diet for beginners is, first and foremost.
And this might be a quick review for some of you as well. A ketogenic diet for beginners
is a very low carb, moderate protein, and high fat diet. You have to be getting most
of your calories from fat or it's not a keto diet.
Now, you might be asking yourself right now. Isn't fat bad for you? And the short answer
is, no, eating fat won't make you fat. That's like one of the biggest nutrition myths of
all time. The problem is, a lot of people are still under the assumption that it's
true. If you want a quick history lesson about it, back in the 1960's, there was an uptick
in Americans dying from heart disease and scientists back then, led by a guy named Ancel
Keys who was very biased against fat, had two choices to blame. It was either fat or
sugar. And we all know who won that debate. So, Americans were told that fat was bad and
carbs and sugar were okay and now we have an obesity epidemic.
Okay, If we're talking strictly about a keto diet macros ratio, you wanna go around
at least 65-70% fat, 25% protein, and around 5% carbs. But I want you to treat those percentages
more as a guideline. The most important number here is the amount of carbs in your diet because
you don't have a lot of room for error here. You wanna be below 50 grams in total daily
when you're starting out, because there's gonna be an adaptation period where your body
is in the process of switching fuel sources. You have to give it some time. Once your body
becomes adapted to eating less carbs, then you wanna lower it even more to 20 grams or
less. Now, that sounds pretty easy to follow in
theory. Right? But how do you know if you're on point with your percentages or if you've
exceeded them? That's the hard part because 50 grams isn't a lot and there are so many
foods out there with hidden carbs and what you can't do is you can't just freestyle
this part. I've tried it, it doesn't work. So, what happens with the keto diet is, when
you give your body mainly fat to burn, it adapts to become very good at using fat for
energy. Your brain which was previously running entirely on glucose from sugar and starch
in your diet, begins to run on a new fuel called ketones which is produced in your liver
by breaking down fat. So as long as you don't give your body any carbs, in two to six weeks
you become fat adapted and then you're running mostly on fat for energy and now your body
enters a state called ketosis. Now, a pretty common mistake that people do
is they incorrectly assume that if they just lower their carbs, then they can do a ketogenic
diet, or that they can get most of the benefits that come from it. Unfortunately, it doesn't
work that way. You can't just half try this diet.
The best tip I can give you is you have to track your food and macros when you're on
a keto diet and I use a free app called MyFitnessPal for this. The app takes away any calculations
or complicated math that you'd have to do when it comes to figuring out your keto diet
macros ratio and tracking your food. Now, if you've never heard of the app before,
I have a separate video on how to use MyFitnessPal and I'm gonna put the link for it in the
description box.
Now I mentioned earlier about an adaptation period so let's talk about that real quick
because this can hold back a lot of people. For some people, when they switch to a keto
diet they kinda start to feel like crap, and this is commonly referred to as the keto flu.
Thankfully, it's perfectly normal and temporary. Think of your body going through "carb withdrawal,"
much like withdrawal associated with addictive substances. In fact, recent studies have compared
the effect of carbs, particularly sugar on the brain to that of addictive drugs like
cocaine!1 If you're somebody with a sweet tooth and you can't seem to help yourself
around sugar, you know exactly what I'm talking about here. Again, the keto flu is
just a period where your body is adjusting to a new way of fueling. Think of a vintage
car that hasn't been used in a while. At first, it might be a little rough as you wait
for the engine to warm up, but once you give it some time and it's up and running , it
starts to run smoothly. Now, one of the best benefits of a keto diet
is that it allows your insulin levels to become very low, and fat burning increases dramatically
because of it. Again, when your insulin levels are high, you can't access your own body
fat for energy. You just can't. Insulin blocks fat burning. And when you allow it
to get low, It becomes easy to access your fat stores to burn them off. This is great
if you're trying to lose weight. The keto diet also controls blood sugar levels,
and is excellent for reversing type 2 diabetes and this has been proven in a lot of studies.
9 It makes perfect sense since the keto diet lowers blood-sugar levels and reduces the
negative impact of high insulin levels mentioned earlier.
So let's go back to our case study and see how the ketogenic diet has affected his life.
Over many years of eating carbs, he developed high blood sugar levels. And this is common
for a lot of people who eat a lot of refined carbs and sugar. If he continued down this
path, it was only a matter of time until he developed Type 2 Diabetes. And a lot of people
experience this. In fact, 1 in 10 Americans suffer from Type 2 Diabetes.
Well, after 7 months of being on the ketogenic diet, again, controlling blood sugar levels
being one of its biggest benefits, he's all but lowered his blood sugar to normal
levels. He's lost 5 inches off his waist, he went from a size 33 to a size 28, and dropped
a whopping 20 lbs in 7 months. To put that into perspective, he hasn't been that lean
in about 30 years. It's like turning back time. But here's the thing. Health isn't
about the weight you lose but about the life you gain. How did all these awesome changes
translate to his every day life?
Well, he feels healthier than ever, he's got more energy, and he's just more confident
about himself. He can finally wear the clothes that he wants without feeling the need to
hide his belly. And this change has just opened up so many more opportunities in his life.
You simply can't put a price tag on that.
Who knew that you could basically have a brand new lease on life in your 50's?
Just like a lot of people, he was a little apprehensive at first to try the keto diet.
He thought it was just a fad. Actually, it was almost a forced trial because my mom started
packing him keto lunch for work every day and I used her in another case study in a
different video if you wanna see her amazing results. Long story short, he was inspired
by my mom's results. And once he stepped on the scale after a few weeks, he saw the
numbers drop and he was hooked from that point forward. You can't argue with results, right?
He's a man of few words but I asked him what his biggest takeaway is from this experience
and he said four simple words that should resonate with everyone.
"It's never too late".
