hey guys dr. Berg here listen I wanted to talk  about a common mistake but a lot of people make  

was going too fast with intermittent fasting  okay so here you are you’re running your body  

on carbohydrates your whole life now we’re going  to switch to ketones so you’re going to be key to  

adapted if you’re not key to adapted yet which  takes some time then you don’t have ketones to  

run on it feel you’re just running on sugar okay  stored sugar which is called glycogen so it’s  

stored in your muscles and your liver so when  you go from one meal to the next over a period  

of time you’re not switching to fat-burning it  you’re basically going to tap out your glycogen  

Reserve and the blood sugars are going to go  lower okay as soon as it goes lower it’s going  

to activate adrenaline to raise it but in the  process adrenaline is a stress hormone so it’s  

going to activate the hypoglycemic symptoms  and this is what happens with people making  

this transition into ketosis or they’re adapting  they get lightheadedness dry mouth thirsty they  

get tired easy weak muscles craving irritable  nervous all these symptoms so cortisol will start  

increasing so we don’t want to add that stress  okay so here’s what you need to do you need to  

do it gradually so you start with three meals a  day no snacking do that until you’re comfortable  

okay you can do it easily then go three meals  within an eight-hour period okay then you go  

into two meals with an eight-hour period and  you do that for a while until you can do it  

adding fat to the meal to go longer okay but the  temptation is this to jump right in and just do  

it too fast then you end up not getting anywhere  so it’s a gradual process sometimes people take  

I don’t know maybe two weeks to two months to get  into this state where your key to adaptive where  

your body is like it can switch to fat-burning  and you’re running in your fat and you have no  

drop in blood sugars okay so now you had two  meals eight-hour period now we’re going to  

slowly go to seven hours of your window of eating  okay to have one meal seven hours later another  

meal then go six hours and then five and four  okay so you want to do it very gradually until  

you get comfortable so you don’t have this  adrenaline rush okay just an important point  

that I wanted to bring up thanks for watching  hi guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing  

evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes  your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of  

all of your symptoms the most likely cause so  take the quiz now and we’ll send you a report
