so today we’re gonna talk about these

seven reasons for bloating especially

when you’re on a ketogenic plan okay now

the first point I’m going to bring up is

this hormone called insulin and of

course when you’re starting keto usually

you’re gonna have high insulin and it’s

gonna go low but I just wanted to

include this because as you do keto

insulin should go down if you do it

correctly and healthily and you’re gonna

have less of a bloated stomach but when

insulin spikes you start developing a

visceral fat and the first thing that

happens is your liver starts getting

fatty and it spills over into spaces

around the organs and even in other

organs okay and mainly it’s gonna go

right in the midsection right here so if

your belly is distended

chances are you have high insulin okay

also you have the top role so you see

people with this fat roll right at the

top

okay that’s a fatty liver but it’s

coming from insulin then you have people

that have a distended stomach just just

coming out like this they could have a

sagging belly that’s insulin because

there’s so much visceral fat deep

underneath the layers that is just

sticking the stomach out your stomach is

a really good indicator to know what’s

happening with insulin if the stomach is

flat you have low insulin if it’s

distended you have higher levels of

insulin and by the way they rarely ever

check insulin they check blood glucose

levels a good test if you wanted to test

your insulin is called Homa - i are you

can get that test down and find out if

your insulin is high

it measures insulin resistance okay if

you have love handles okay so if you

have fat on the outside or back fat

that’s coming from insulin also realize

if you’re consuming a lot of fruit that

can raise your insulin the fiber and the

fruit buffers it a little bit but still

even for myself when I was consuming

apples I my insulin level is pretty high

and apples like like

22 grams of sugar even for a medium

Apple alright number two cortisol

cortisol is a stress hormone and it’s

made by the adrenal glands and what

happens is that cortisol raises insulin

and then causes the visceral fat

cortisol turns protein into glucose

but cortisol will raise insulin that is

why one of the side effects of cortisol

is diabetes okay because it raises the

blood sugar it keeps raising insulin you

developments and resistance and then you

become a diabetic because you can’t

control your blood Sugar’s because no

longer is the insulin suppressing the

blood sugar so it’s weakened and then

the blood sugars go up despite your body

producing a lot more insulin number

three the liver if the liver is really

damaged you can develop a condition

called ascites and what that is is a

situation where you have fluid that’s

leaking from your liver into a sac

around your midsection so you usually

see this on men that are very thin but

they had this potbelly it’s like a

basketball in their stomach that’s a

really bad liver and by the way as I go

through these I’m gonna list down

specific videos for each one if you want

to get more information about it okay

and before fiber now when you’re in keto

there’s a lot of different fibers in

keto of snacks and keto foods gar gum

corn fiber chicory root inulin there’s a

whole these different fibers and a lot

of people get bloating from those fibers

also if you’re consuming certain types

of vegetables that you’re not used to

that can also blow you out in which case

you need to switch up your vegetables to

some vegetables that you can digest then

we have SIBO small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth this is a situation where the

bacteria that should be in the large

intestine is in the small intestine so

if you’re getting fermentation in the

wrong place and so you’re gonna get a

lot of gas

you’re gonna go up you’re going to get a

lot of bloating so what you don’t want

to do is consume a probiotic why because

you have too much bacteria in that area

and or a prebiotic which is fiber I have

an entire video on this specifically but

this condition will probably blow you

the most especially like after eating

all right number six sugar alcohols okay

you go on a keto plan you want to still

consume sweet things and there’s all

these sugar alcohols like a wreath wrote

all salat all some people are really

sensitive to them some people don’t

realize when we recommend these sugar

alcohols we always recommend a small

amount not a lot and so you consume a

lot of it and you start getting bloating

because your digestive system handle

these differently and it can really

create gas diarrhea constipation so just

realize that your bloating may be coming

from these right here that’s why I

always recommend read the ingredients

and really in the beginning when you’re

doing a keto plan track what you’re

eating so you can go back and find out

what caused the bloating and lastly

frequent eating will cause bloating now

normally the food that goes through your

stomach takes between four to five hours

to get through okay that’s a long time

how often do people normally eat every

three hours this is what we recommend

when you dookied oh you also do

intermittent fasting with it because of

this right here it takes a long time for

your your food to actually go through

the system if you’re constantly cramming

food when there’s incomplete digestion

happening

you’re gonna bloat and that’s basically

just overwhelming your digestive system

and then in the small intestine it could

take between five and six hours to get

through the large intestine could take

between 10 and 40 hours depending on

what you just ate so if you’re eating

every three hours you’re gonna get

bloated and this is why we recommend

going to the two meals a day for most

people and then some people one meal a

day and that’s gonna really help your

bloating because you will no longer be

overwhelming your digestive tract with

food you allow it to go through you’ll

get more digestion you’ll take a huge

stress off the digestive organs alright

guys there you have it

there’s seven reasons for bloating

especially on a keto plan hey before you
