there’s five reasons why you may not be losing weight

when you’re fasting now i want to clarify what this video is about

i’m not talking about intermittent fasting i’m talking about

just fasting for a longer period of time but since we’re on the topic of

intermittent fasting if you’re doing intermittent fasting and

keto and you’re not losing weight usually it’s because you’re doing too

many carbs okay i’ve done a lot of videos on this

you just have to really lower your carbs sometimes down to 10 grams

per day or less it could also be that you’re just not fasting long enough

you your metabolism is slow and you’re fasting let’s say 16 hours or 18 hours

you may need to do longer or you’re just consuming too much fat

and your body’s turning the dietary fat into ketones not your

own fat into ketones so these are the three

things to pay attention to but what this video is about

is let’s say you’re fasting for a longer period of time

two days three days and you’re not losing weight

why how can that be well there’s a couple reasons for this

being in practice for 29 years i’ve ran into certain individuals

that fasted for quite a period of time with hardly any weight loss and i’m just

going to tell you what we found with those people

they usually always had an extremely slow

metabolism so let’s say at birth you just were overweight

sometimes kids have an infection and then they are given steroids or

medication or antibiotics that then mess up their

metabolism early on and then their parents might put them on

diets after diet after diet that slows down

the metabolism that could be one reason so number one

number two constipation if you’re constipated you

could be walking around with five to seven

extra pounds of waste in your body and that could uh

act as a barrier for you to lose weight number three stress

stress activates the hormone cortisol cortisol

breaks down your own muscle protein turns in the sugar

and that sugar will raise insulin and that will keep you from losing weight so

this is a biggie right here and this also includes having an

infection so if you’re fasting and you have this

severe infection you may not lose weight why because of the high levels of

cortisol even though if you have an infection

fasting is a necessary thing because that will help your immune system

number four not sleeping this will also increase cortisol

add more stress and it will mess up your blood sugars

so this will definitely keep you from losing weight

also water retention for various reasons so that could be another reason why

you’re not losing weight there’s a couple things that i’m going

to recommend you want to always be taking nutrients

electrolytes b vitamins trace minerals vitamin d all very important

why you need to improve insulin resistance

you have to take nutrients that help insulin resistance which is behind this

thing right here that’s going to speed things up this one

right here real example i worked with this lady who

did fasting for almost three days and barely lost anything now she had

constipation and what was happening was the liver was

just all jammed up and things were not

flowing that well when you take purified bile salts on an

empty stomach of course you’re fasting so it’s going

to be an empty stomach you can just take three times a day

it tends to open up the ducts the bile ducts

the pancreatic ducts the ducts through the liver and allows drainage

not to mention bile itself helps burn fat that’s what we recommended to this

person and then things started to become

relieved with this finally they started losing weight i’m

just pointing this out because it was quite amazing

going from no weight loss to a really good weight loss

next thing is do things to increase sleep i’ll put a link down below of

what i’m going to recommend to help sleep but also

decrease stress so we want to increase sleep decrease stress

if you’re stressed out you’re not sleeping it’s going to severely affect

your ability to lose weight while you’re

fasting and lastly you just have to give it more time especially if you have a

slow metabolism all right go ahead and try

those things and comment down below before you go if

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a
