so you have two scenarios you have one scenario  where someone will go on keto and drop four  

pounds in one day and they are so excited and they  think it’s fat loss and then a couple days later  

completely shuts down they get discouraged and  they quit they think it’s not working anymore the  

other scenario is when someone goes off keto and  they gain four pounds in one day and they’re very  

depressed and they think oh there’s no way i can  stay consistent with this it’s not going to work  

in both scenarios what you have to realize is that  rapid weight gain is merely fluid it’s not fat  

okay so there’s no way you can gain that much  fat or lose that much fat in such a little time  

what is normal if you’re lucky one to two pounds  okay so that’s per week not per day and if you’re  

going on and off keto back and forth every  time you go off keto now you have to kind of  

reset and it takes like could take three days  before you actually get into a good amount of  

ketosis to start getting in there so if you’re  kind of going off the program every third day  

you’re going to be very frustrating now one gram  of glucose will retain three grams of water so  

when your body stores glucose as glycogen you’re  really like a fluid-filled sponge okay you’re just  

holding water not just that but high-carb diets  cause you to retain sodium and the extra sodium  

causes a lot more retention of water in the  extracellular area which you’re going to see in  

your ankles in your feet so if you see people with  a lot of fluid retention their ankles or their  

feet you know their carbs are just too high and  so the best indicator to know that it’s working  

it’s normal and you just have to give it more  time is your cravings going away are you less  

hungry between meals the hunger is one of the  best indicators to know that you’re on the right  

plan if you’re hungry too much and you can’t  go for a period of time without eating then  

chances are you’re not doing it correctly and you  need to find out how to do it correctly and i’ll  

put some links down below and the other indicator  that’s really good is if is your stomach shrinking  

okay forget about weight loss is your stomach  shrinking as you get healthy to lose weight  

all sorts of things happen you may start to gain  more muscle mass because you’re getting more of  

a pair of proteins and that might not show up in  weight loss right away a ketone really does act  

as a diuretic it gets rid of fluid there’s other  things you can take like dandelion greens you can  

put in your salad you can take it as a supplement  yuva yurc is another herb and horsetail is a herb  

that you can take to help get rid of fluid celery  will really help you get rid of fluid and high  

potassium foods as well as potassium supplements  will all push the fluid out but these won’t work  

unless your carbs are low hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here  

avoiding your environment but what about here  what about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
