hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about why you may feel irritable on keto

okay so there’s two situations that

occur in the very beginning part as

you’re adapting you can feel pretty

funky because you’re going through this

thing called keto adaptation you’re

going you’re building new enzymes new

cellular machinery so you can now burn

fat okay so in the transition phase you

can feel kind of funky especially if

you’re low on B vitamins and low on

potassium and low on sea salt and

definitely low on vegetables so you want

to start increasing these nutritional

yeast electrolyte powder that should

actually clear that up but let’s say

you’re doing this a while and you still

feel irritable a couple things that are

happening either your blood sugars are

low in which case you want to make sure

that you have enough fat with the meal

and you have enough greens salads and

you have a moderate amount of protein so

your body can heal the insulin

resistance and go from one meal to the

next because this could be coming from

the higher levels of insulin as you’re

doing this you should improve insulin

resistance that you get better but

there’s a couple reasons why it won’t

you’re doing this incorrectly you’re not

having the right food you’re not doing

intermittent fasting at the exact same

time you’re doing multiple meals or

you’re doing intermittent fasting

without keto so intermittent fasting and

keto have to be done together because

both of those tools or actions lower

insulin and once you lower insulin you

will heal insulin resistance and this

will go away but because the brain

doesn’t have stored sugar and all that

store sugar is in the liver and then it

also goes up into the blood it depends

for its sugar on the blood so if the

blood sugar goes low boy you’re gonna

feel irritable funky not good so we

don’t want to eat more sugar we want to

get the fat to be converted to ketones

so if you’re doing this with too many

carbs and you’re not doing it 100%

you’re kind of doing it half way you’re

gonna feel really

irritable to the whole process because

you’re never going to adapt to keep

tones you’re gonna try to do in a minute

fasting without ever using ketones so

between the meals you’re gonna just feel

terrible so realize to get into ketosis

you must drop your carbs below 20 30 40

50 grams

preferably below 20 and that will really

speed things up and make you feel a lot

better but it’s not just about running

about in ketones it’s about getting

healthy so you really have to make sure

you get enough nutrients and eat the

high quality food so the other point

that’s really important is to be very

very consistent if you’re doing keto an

enema fasting every so often or not

consistently you’ll never fully adapt

into ketosis it takes a period of time

to get in here but it’s very easy to go

back to running on sugars just by the

way you do that is to start eating carbs

boom your auto ketosis so that’s why

people are feeling irritable but if you

do the combination do it correctly you

should feel euphoric you should feel

really really good alright thanks for
