Marc Bates, metabolic health coach and nutrition researcher, announced the release of his new educational YouTube video that reveals fundamental methodological problems in low-carb diet studies. The video demonstrates why most published research fails to properly verify ketosis in study participants, leading to misleading conclusions about ketogenic diet effectiveness.

The announcement comes after Bates discovered significant discrepancies between his personal ketosis measurements and the dietary protocols described in peer-reviewed studies. His investigation revealed that many researchers classify diets as "ketogenic" without confirming participants actually achieved metabolic ketosis.

"When I started measuring ketosis myself, I realized that even though I thought I was eating properly low carb, I wasn't in ketosis," Bates stated. "I had to focus on eating more fats and also on using intermittent fasting to achieve true ketosis."

The video addresses the critical distinction between carbohydrate restriction and authentic ketogenic metabolic states. Bates explains how flawed study design creates false equivalencies between different dietary approaches, compromising the scientific validity of nutrition research.

Current low-carb studies frequently measure outcomes without verifying whether participants maintained consistent ketosis throughout study periods. This methodological oversight produces unreliable data that fails to represent true ketogenic diet effects.

The educational content provides viewers with essential knowledge for evaluating nutrition research claims and identifying credible ketogenic studies. Bates emphasizes the urgent need for improved research standards that include proper ketosis verification protocols.

The YouTube video is now available on Marc Bates' channel, offering evidence-based insights into metabolic health research methodology and practical guidance for understanding nutritional science.
