Ketosis Phase 1: Use Up The Sugar In Blood
BURN THROUGH THE SUGAR IN YOUR BLOOD
TIME REQUIRED: 4 HOURS
STATUS: Your fuel is 100% glucose during phase one. The glucose you burn comes from the carbs you just ate or drank. NOT ONE section of your body runs off ketones.
BRAIN: Powered only by glucose.
Entering Phase 1 is the easiest part of getting into ketosis. You do this every night when you go to sleep. You simply use up the sugar that’s currently in your bloodstream. Every time you eat more than a spoonful of sugar or a handful of carbs you reset your system back to the beginning of Phase 1.
Ketosis Phase 2 Burn Sugar Stored In Liver
YOUR LIVER MAKES GLUCOSE BY EMPTYING ITS STORED SUGAR
TIME: 12+ HOURS
STATUS: Your fuel is still 100% glucose, but now your carb fuel is coming from your stored sugar called glycogen.
BRAIN: Powered only by glucose.
You burned up those circulating sugars in your bloodstream. With no more food coming into the body through your mouth, your system will use your stored sugar. This stored sugar is called glycogen, and you keep it in your liver cells. Phase 2 fuels your body using this stored energy.

- The GKI [Glucose Ketone Index] ratio explained.
Glucose divided by 18 : Ketones
DR BOZ RATIO: GLUCOSE DIVIDED BY KETONES
This math was easier for my mom to do ... and for my patients.
Dr Boz RATIO LESS THAN 80 = weight loss zone. Some autophagy may be happening.
Dr Boz RATIO LESS THAN 40 = benefit with all the deep tissue/organ inflammation and auto-immune problems. (Leaky gut, brain fog, Crohn's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto's) More autophagy should be happening.
Dr Boz RATIO LESS THAN 20 = Cancer & extreme health issues. . This was my mom's category. This zone is really hard. No playing around. Make sure your doctor is watching you closely. Almost all are likely to have autophagy at this stage.

The two most common questions I get ...
1) "Doc, what BLOOD METER do you recommend?"
ANSWER: FORACARE: http://bit.ly/2QKGmKG
For years my diabetics told me this system was great. I tried several others before I bought this one. I can't count the number of times I have tested my blood only to get an ERROR message from the strip. Grrr. I hate that. FORACARE gets my vote because it is accurate and takes only ONE test strip to get the results. YES!!
2) "Doc, which Ketones-In-A-Can (aka exogenous ketones, BHB) do you recommend?"
EXOGENOUS KETONES BHB: Dr Boz BHB: (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/2QL0yfP
I don't recommend these in everyone. I have times this is a great solution for my patients that are very overweight and trying to get used to burning ketones for fuel. All keto supplements should have magnesium in them. This one does.
I own this Dr Boz brand and the Dr Boz supplements.
