let’s talk about the mistakes within a

minute fasting that can really affect

your results number one and you’re going

too fast

fasting and your body has not adapted

yet some people like to jump right in

and sometimes you can just go too fast

so let’s say for example you just start

out and you’ve been doing the standard

American diet for years and now you’re

gonna start fasting so you’re doing this

on top of a blood sugar issue and you

haven’t given it the normal three days

to adapt you jump from zero to 90 miles

an hour so you’re right at one meal a

day typically what’s gonna happen is

you’re gonna be very highly irritated

you’re gonna be extremely hungry and

you’re probably gonna cheat and then

you’re gonna say you know this isn’t

right for me and give up when in fact if

you did it correctly at the right level

you’ll work with the body and it would

work for you all right next one is

you’re eating too many carbs without

even realizing that you’re eating too

many carbs so sometimes this is called

sorta keto because when I talk to people

they’ll tell me that I’m doing the

ketogenic diet and sometimes they’ll

tell me it’s not working and then I’ll

ask them what they’re eating and then

they didn’t really realize that fruits

are carbohydrates or rice is a

carbohydrate or are sweet potatoes are

carbohydrates they don’t realize the

impact that just a little bit of carbs

can have on your ability to stay in

ketosis a little bit of carb can knock

you out for two sometimes even three

days and I’m talking about knocking you

out of ketosis it takes a while to get

into ketosis and all it takes is a

little carb to knock you out

if you’re doing this a couple times a

week it could be the reason why you’re

not seeing any results

alright the five and to plan okay and

this plan you’re pretty much eating

whatever you want for five days okay and

then in two days usually the weekend

you’re bringing your calories down to

500 calories per day now the problem is

twofold one is all week long you’re

pretty much eating what you want and

then in the weekend you’re gonna eat a

smaller meal this is not enough time to

fully adapt to the state of ketosis

you’re going to be struggling with this

it’s going to be very painful

it’s not gonna be comfortable you’re not

gonna want to do it and of course you’re

gonna probably cheat and say this is not

right for me and give up so if you’re

gonna fast I would recommend actually

fasting not try to do this with 500

calories and think you’re really gonna

adapt it’s just not gonna work all right

number four you’re doing fasting but

when you’re eating you’re not having

enough calories to provide enough

nutrients now here’s the thing when

you’re actually lowering your calories

you’re gonna have to at the same time

increase the nutrient density of that

food or enhance it with other

supplements to make sure you’re getting

your nutrients because the purpose of

food is twofold one is fuel the other is

nutrients so when you’re fasting you’re

tapping into your fat fuel but at some

point you need nutrients so if you’re

not consuming enough calories usually

you’re not gonna have the nutrients not

first nothing’s gonna happen but down

the road let’s say some weeks or even

months all of a sudden your hair is

falling out you’re noticing other

problems with your teeth are loose

bleeding gums all sorts of things so I

really wouldn’t necessarily worry about

calories but really focus on getting

your foods nutrient-dense all right

number five consuming low-quality

ingredients so let’s say you’re fasting

and then when you eat you’re consuming

this powdered soy protein isolate

mixture okay that is very very low

quality and it’s in a lot of different

products what’s gonna happen with those

low quality ingredients is you’re not

gonna look healthy now I’m not saying

that you’re gonna completely look like a

crack head but you may sort of look like

a crack head all right next one is

number six you’re not consuming enough

potassium and B vitamins and even trace

minerals to make sure your body has all

the requirements now think about this

we’re doing fascinating to improve our

health so all sorts of genes are kicking

in anti-aging genes genes that help

reduce inflammation that help her grow

your brain tissue and if you don’t have

the reserve of nutrients and you’re

fasting and then when you eat you’re

consuming regular foods you may end up

being deficient and run into

issues other than looking like a

crackhead heart palpitations hair

falling out you’re gonna be totally fun

alright number seven if you’re vegan and

you’re doing keto make sure you take b12

DHA zinc and probably iron as well

simply because you’re not going to get

these unless you consume animal products

alright number eight you’re doing it um

in fasting and then when you eat you’re

doing keto but you’re doing it low fat

some people still have this fat phobia

and they’re gonna keep their fats really

really low so if you keep your carbs low

and keep your fats low something has to

go up and that’s going to be protein so

too much protein can create problems as

well so when you cut fats you’re also

going to cut fat soluble vitamins you’re

gonna cut omega-3 fatty acids all sorts

of very essential things with your fat

alright guys thanks for watching

and check out this next video on other

keto mistakes that a lot of people make

but they’re not realizing that they’re

making them
