What Is The Keto Diet & Ketosis

What Is The Keto Diet & Ketosis

Author: Pete Jacobs May 24, 2021 Duration: 43:43

Ketosis is natural for everyone. It is the adaptation to use ketones, not sugars, for energy, especially in the brain. 

As you burn fat, fat [by-products] can be converted into ketones (but does not happen for everyone all the time)

A “KETO DIET” does not guarantee ketosis.

Fat adaptation does not mean you are automatically adapted to producing and/or using ketones.

As a professional Ironman Triathlete I was very fat adapted, and very aerobic, and yet I experienced situations during/post races where I bonked because I had low blood sugar and was not adapted to producing/using ketones.

In this episode I clear up a few things

  • Confusion around ketosis
  • Confusion between ketosis and keto diet
  • Confusion between needing to choose one diet
  • And lots more!

And I answer questions from my Instagram – follow me @petejjacobs so you can ask a question next time 🙂

Finding a sustainable path to better health often feels like navigating a maze of conflicting advice. Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance cuts through that noise with grounded conversations led by Pete Jacobs, a World Ironman Triathlon Champion, and his wife Jaimielle. This isn't just about extreme athleticism; it's about the practical, balanced choices that build a resilient life. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between nutrition, daily movement, and the mental frameworks needed to stick with it. Pete naturally draws from his own journey to the pinnacle of endurance sports, not to prescribe a champion's regimen, but to share the broader lessons on mindset and perseverance that apply to anyone. The podcast operates on the principle that true fitness is deeply personal-it's the energy to keep up with your kids, the clarity to focus at work, and the vitality to enjoy your days. Each episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes, actionable lifestyle tips, and thoughtful dialogue aimed at helping you define what performance means in your own life. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on building health from the ground up, where the goal is lasting well-being, not just a temporary fix.
