i thought that fasting is supposed to
give you a lot of energy
right why am i fatigued someone
mentioned that in the comments section
of one of my youtube videos i'm going to
explain
why that is there's actually only two
reasons so if you're tired while you're
doing fasting
these are the two reasons very very
simple
fasting and doing keto is supposed to
take you from
burning sugar stored sugar it's called
glycogen
over here to fat burning where you're
burning fatty acids and you're burning
ketones okay so that's the goal here
most people have a lot more of this to
burn and when you fully
are adapted to ketosis you're supposed
to feel good
have tons of energy but if you don't
it could be you're not at a full fat
burning capacity
okay realize the conversion from here to
here
takes between three to seven days so if
it's the second day
and you're wondering why i don't have
energy well that's just because you
haven't converted over yet
to do this as fast as possible
you need to keep your carbs low if
you're trying to convert over but your
carbs are too high
you'll never get there so the carbs have
to be down there at least below
i'd say 40 grams per day some people say
50 grams a day but
sometimes if you have severe insulin
resistance it could has to be below
20 grams a day or less to speed things
up
so the carbs have to be low fasting
even though it's not necessary i always
recommend it because that'll speed
things
up especially if you're doing snacks for
the day keto bombs
so-called things that are friendly but
you have very
severe insulin resistance it's going to
take a long time
okay so carbs low fast
two meals a day even better yet one meal
a day if you could do it
but these two should get you over here
relatively fast now if you have severe
insulin resistance
it could actually be a little bit longer
and
you may need to in the meantime to jump
start things
actually just take things that can give
you ketones right away
just to make things a little bit
smoother so you could add some mct oil
a tablespoon once in the morning once in
the evening
should do it and then you'll start
having energy right away because you're
having ketones there to supply
the brain and the tissues you can also
take something called exogenous ketones
which are called ketone
salts you can buy those and take those
and you should start having energy
this is one reason right here you
haven't given enough time
usually the other reason is this in
order for
the ketones or fatty acids to be burned
in the energy factory called the
mitochondria
it needs helper nutrients they're called
cofactors
and that would include vitamin b5
b6 b1 potassium
sodium and i forgot one magnesium
okay so you need a combination of the b
vitamins and you need minerals those two
right here and if you're deficient in
these
going into this keto program you may
find you have what's called keto fatigue
but it's very simple nutritional yeast
a good mineral blend will give you
energy
almost within hours so i just wanted to
point out
if you're tired doing intermittent
fasting it's going to be
either this process right here
or you need some cofactors to make this
work
all right thanks for watching
