hi guys dr. Berger I had another

question about can I cycle my

carbohydrates on a keto diet can I add

these carbohydrates certain times every

so often to try to somehow help the

depletion of the glycogen or whatever

reason that they’re trying to do so

that’s a good question well first of all

you need to know that your liver makes

carbohydrates it can make glucose out of

your own fat and your own protein in

your diet so you really don’t need any

carbohydrates and when you second point

is when you mix carbohydrates into a

keto program you basically block keto so

where you get into keto is by avoiding

carbohydrates or fasting which is also

avoiding carbohydrates these two things

will get you into ketosis so the point

is that people have this idea that they

somehow needed it’s going to create a

problem if they don’t have carbohydrates

you don’t you need the vitamins and

minerals from certain carbohydrates like

vegetables but you don’t need the actual

glucose it doesn’t do you any good

but overall the bigger goal is to build

a health reserve so high that you can

afford an occasional deviation from your

healthy eating plan okay so I’m not

saying you can never do it it’s just

that you once you get to a state of

where your body is so healthy and you’ve

done so well you can afford to go off

because you know how to get back on and

that temporary deviation will not dip

your help down at all it will barely

create any negative effects okay so that

way yes you can go off the program

temporarily because you know you have a

big reserve alright thanks for watching
