okay let’s talk about juicing while you’re doing keto or while you’re

doing fasting is it okay is it not okay now if you’re doing keto

or intermittent fasting you’re just not seeing results that you would like

or you have some type of problem with that let’s say for example you just have

cravings like crazy well then we have to evaluate

what you are eating during the fast and what you’re eating when you’re doing

keto so typically when you fast you shouldn’t be eating anything

except you’re drinking water but i recommend doing supplements

i don’t recommend doing any juice at all on occasion

if you’re doing a prolonged fast i think it’s okay to do the whole

vegetable let’s say you’re doing celery or maybe even kale because you’re having

the fiber but not necessarily just the juice

because the phytonutrients in these vegetables can actually help

enhance the benefit of your intermittent fasting but when it

comes down to juicing here’s a couple things you need to know

let’s say for example you were to juice celery and i’m going to take one cup for

each one of these now if you’re from some european country

like germany for example and you are not using cups as your measurements

you’re going to have to look them up and specifically i’m talking to the

gentleman named dennis who asks who brought up the point i should have

my own conversion tables but in this video

you’re going to have to do your own conversions dennis okay

all right so take a look at this celery one cup

3.5 grams of carbs okay so now we have carrots

9.5 grams of carbs and then kale 6.7 grams of carbs so you can see

carrots have the most carbs now you’re not consuming

the fiber so you can’t deduct the fiber from the total carbs let me explain what

i’m talking about normally what you would do if you were

going to consume celery or carrot or kale

is you take the total carb and minus the fiber

because even though the fiber is a carb you don’t count it into your

calculations you deduct it and you get the net carb

and this is the figure that you’re looking at

if you’re consuming the fiber with it the whole thing

but because we’re juicing we don’t get to calculate

in this fiber part right here we don’t get to

minus it so if we take a look at the celery which is pretty low and

carrot is pretty high 9.5 grams of carbs but realize we’re

taking a cup of carrots and we’re juicing it which we’re going

to get a lot less than that cup probably just going to get

a small amount because we’re going to take all the fiber away from it so

but i’m just using this as a kind of a standard example so if you’re going to

juice you’re probably going to get more than

9.5 grams but the point is that i wanted to show

you the difference between these net carbs if you consume the whole

thing look at that 1.9 grams it’s pretty low

this is totally fine carrot six grams it’s a little too high

and then kale which is surprising you would think it

would have a lot more fiber it doesn’t that would give you a 5.4

grams net carb so the carbs and kale you know are are not zero so here’s the

point that i’m trying to make i might be confusing people you don’t

want to do juicing unless you’re doing some type of

juice powder concentrate or some type of green

juice that doesn’t have these other vegetables that are a little too

high celery juice is is a really good one to look at you’re

going to have to look through different vegetables to find which one

would give you the least amount of carbs if you’re going to do the juice

but i don’t recommend doing the juice while you’re fasting

but as a part of your meal i think that would be fine unless you do the

calculations and it comes down to a very very small amount

i wouldn’t recommend it you may not get into full ketosis if you’re doing it

each day and you may start craving carbs

so anytime someone is doing fasting or keto and they’re still craving i always

look at what they’re eating when they’re fasting and what they’re eating when

they stop fasting and we really look at

all the potential areas that you might have carbs

and this is a hidden area that could keep you

from fully getting the benefits of keto to the point where you you’re just going

to crave and then what’s going to happen is you’re going to go off the program

eat carbs and then start again and do the whole cycle back and forth

so if you wanted to get rid of the cravings and completely do this right

get rid of the juicing okay and you can also

take inositol inositol is a type of b vitamin which is a sugar alcohol your

body makes it so it’s natural

and it has some really interesting effects it’s

really good for your blood sugars and addressing insulin resistance

in fact there’s certain studies that show that it can work almost

the same as metformin which is for type 2

diabetes so it helps to improve that insulin resistance situation

and anything that’s connected to that which is cravings to carbohydrates

it can also increase your serotonin which if you have a serotonin deficiency

you might feel stressed and craving carbs so serotonin as a hormone can help

you reduce cravings to carbs so you could take some

of this each day and also if they come in the tablet you

can suck on them because they’re actually sweet but

they’re not sugar i used to do this in my practice a lot

when someone craved carbs i would have them take this and then through the

day just suck on them and it gave them the feeling that they were

eating sugar but they weren’t eating sugar

and it really helped them in other ways one last point

when you consume food and you’re not satisfied

and you still have the need to eat after you eat

it could be that you need bile salts in which case

you can get them take them with the meal and you’ll extract more of the fatty

acids from that food to signal the brain

to completely turn off the appetite and feel like you’re satisfied because if

you’re deficient in bile salts and that fat is not being fully digested

and absorbed that could be another reason why you keep craving things

all right thanks for watching before you go
