all right so you have terrible sugar cravings and  you’re not on keto get on keto if you’re new to  

my channel very simply click the link down  below and it’ll show you exactly what to do  

with the keto plan that will get rid of  your sugar cravings but let’s say you’re  

on keto and you have terrible sugar cravings  that means there’s something seriously wrong  

because the way that you know you’re in ketosis  which ketones are the byproduct of fat burning  

is that your cravings go away and you’re no  longer hungry so there’s a couple things that  

could be going on if you’re on certain  medications for example like prednisone  

or anti-inflammatory or anti-depression  medication or antibiotics these can all  

increase cravings because they worsen your blood  sugars also if you’re under a lot of stress  

that can do it as well or you have lack of sleep  or even if you had an injury that can increase  

cravings i’ll give you an example i was riding my  bike up a bridge and the pedal actually jammed i  

went over the handlebars i landed on my elbow i  actually fractured my elbow in 30 different pieces  

and what was interesting well wasn’t interesting  it was very very painful but what was interesting  

about is i started craving sugar very quick like  i just needed some sugar because it dropped my  

blood sugars it crashed it way way down because  in the spike of cortisol which is a stress hormone  

it just went up and my blood sugars went  down all right so let’s take a look at  

potentially what you might be doing incorrectly so  the first question is are you keeping your carbs  

between 20 and 50 grams maybe you should  start counting them and measuring them  

but here’s some mistakes about this  20 to 50 grams you are allowing carbs  

that are very high in the glycemic index like  straight sugar or dextrose or maltodextrin  

you don’t want to do that  you want to avoid all carbs  

when we actually are talking about 20 to 50 grams  of carbs we’re talking about not sugar carbs we’re  

talking about because you should avoid all those  completely we’re talking about like the carbs from  

berries the carbs from nuts which are small  amounts that’s the type of carbs we’re talking  

about maybe the carbs that are in a hummus  for example but not vegetables so if you’re  

consuming carbs that are high in the glycemic  index like sugar and things like that yet it’s  

still within this range you’re not going to get  into ketosis because it’s going to keep elevating  

your um insulin which is going to keep you from  tapping in the fat all right second problem  

is you’re eating too frequently you’re not doing  fasting you might be snacking in between the meals  

remember eating makes you hungry so the goal  is to eat nothing to go longer sometimes a  

little apple cider vinegar and water will help  reduce hunger that’s a little tip there but  

whatever you’re doing as far as the frequency of  meals you need to make it longer and the way that  

you do that is you add more fat to the meal to go  longer that’s going to drop insulin and it’s going  

to get you into ketosis more and the more ketosis  that you’re in the less the cravings this should  

happen within three days if you have very severe  blood sugar issues it could take up to five days  

but it will happen if you keep the carbs down  and you fast longer and i’m talking about like  

two meals a day that would be perfect like maybe  your first meal is at 12 and your next one is at  

six you should be fine the last thing and  i think this is very important as well  

consuming enough vegetables so a  lot of times when people are in keto  

it says to do low carb and vegetables are carbs  so i’m just going to cut those out or they might  

just have like one little tiny cup well in  these vegetables you have some key nutrients  

a lot of nutrients you have potassium you have  magnesium and plus the fiber from the vegetable  

is fed to the microbe in your gut which then  releases something called butyrate and butyrate is  

very helpful in balancing your blood sugars and  giving your cells energy so you’ll find that if  

you include this right here it’s going to be  a lot easier you’re going to be less hungry  

you’re going to be more satisfied and definitely  less cravings because even when you take potassium  

magnesium that alone decreases sugar cravings now  last point i want to bring up is very important  

when you do keto without doing intermittent  fasting let’s say you’re having snacks with  

the meal but it’s keto friendly i found  that you don’t really see the benefits  

many times you might not lose hardly any weight  why because every time you eat you stimulate  

insulin and we’re trying to keep insulin lower  so i highly recommend you don’t do that you do  

keto with fasting and then some other people  do fasting but they eat whatever they want  

okay so that’s not good either because if you’re  eating junk food sugar high carbs that is going  

to reduce your ability to see the benefits from  fasting greatly okay so you want to do them both  

together all right so those solutions should fix  your cravings before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you
