okay so recently had another question

from someone that wanted to know why

weren’t they losing much weight after

doing keto for an entire month I think

they lost like five pounds okay and

their husband lost a lot more okay so

let’s just kind of cover that because if

that comes up for you this may help you

the key or essence of how to get results

within a minute fasting and keto is to

decrease insulin that’s the most

important thing you need to focus on and

that would be two things one is lower

your carbs number two decrease the

frequency of eating so if you’re doing

three meals a day you gotta go to two

meals a day if you’re doing two meals a

day and let’s say you’re 50 years old

and you’re menopausal and your hormones

are slow you got to graduate to one meal

a day it might take some time but that’s

what you’re going to need simply because

there could be an underlying problem

with insulin that’s so stubborn insulin

resistance that it’s just not going to

happen unless you really cut down the

frequency of consuming food now the

other point I want to make is adjusting

your fats people have this idea that the

ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet and

you need to consume more fat like that’s

gonna help you burn fat not necessarily

there’s two types of fat you have your

your fat on your body that you want to

get rid of and then you got the dietary

fat the more you increase your dietary

fat well guess what the less that you’re

probably going to burn on your own

body’s reserve okay now fat is helpful

and necessary for a couple reasons

number one you need it for all the

cellular membranes for all the hormones

for your brain your nervous system so we

need that for structural purposes we

also need it

to help you be satisfied so you can go

long periods of time without eating

other than that you don’t really need it

so in the beginning when you’re doing in

a minute fasting it’s very helpful but

as you adapt and you’re not hungry

between meals and you’re not craving the

need for dietary fat goes down why

because we want to force your body to

focus on burning off your reserve so I

wouldn’t add any extra fat other than

the

that’s already in the proteins that

you’re consuming okay

and that’s gonna help you so in other

words cut down the dietary fat that

you’re doing if things if you want to

speed things up the other point I wanna

make is that how is your waist your

clothes okay are you losing inches if

you are then you know it’s working vs.

the scale simply because a lot of people

start building a muscle mass and that

does have a heavier weight it has less

volume so you’re going to shrink in size

but maybe not in weight because you’re

building muscle at the same time as

you’re losing and that’s just a factor

you need to look at okay and now your

clothes feelin looser just realize

that’s a really good indicator that is

working in your mind you may be thinking

that you need to be losing at least two

pounds a week to know that it’s working

when in fact that’s not true okay at all

if you’re losing inches especially in

the beginning that means it is working

the last thing I want you to do is give

up when in fact it’s working when you

think it’s not working and stop the

progress okay so that’s actually very

common by the way so you just have to

understand about the scale and that

scale is only one indicator that it’s

working you have other indicators inches

lost energy level cravings going away

less hungry skin improved look at the

whole picture because it’s about getting

healthy first the other thing you want

to do is focus on your sleep quantity

and quality there are things that you

can do with videos that you can watch

that I’ve done on increasing your sleep

quality and the amount of sleep that’s

going to actually speed things up

tremendously also reducing your stress

because of the high cortisol if you’re

worrying about losing weight 24/7

believe it or not that could have the

potential despite cortisol a little bit

more than it should and that can slow

you down so you almost want to do the

program not worry about it not think

about it now obsess about it and just

let the body do its thing but it does

take a little time that’s why we call

you a patient and that’s in fact well we

have a waiting room

you didn’t know that yeah that’s why all
