Hey guys in this video we’re going to talk about intermittent fasting and

ketosis Q and A there’s a lot of little questions I want to create one video to

explain everything so the first question people keep asking is can I chew gum on

a ketogenic diet that’s not going to be significant at all it’s so small and I

also recommend you do the xylitol gum not the aspartate aspartame type gum

that everyone else does so yes you can do some gum lemon water is that okay

totally fine lemon juice is not a big factor at all

so tart but there’s not a lot of sugar wheatgrass juice powder I do wheatgrass

juice powder during the fast not a problem

it’s my multi vitamin mineral everything okay

protein powders only with a meal because it’s protein so that will spike insulin

especially if it’s low fat protein or whey protein you want to add some fat to

it and then also have it after the meal or during the meal but not as a snack a

cheat day well I already have a video on that but no there’s no such thing as a

cheat day on my program but because here’s the thing when you would do a

cheat day you pretty much are bumped out of this ketosis for a period of time

because it takes a while to get into ketosis it’s going to take a while to

get back to ketosis so on some people it’s going to take three days to get

back on others it could even take a week I’m not kidding so that could be a long

time so that could explain why you may not be losing weight because you might

be doing a cheat day twice a week nullifying everything it really depends

how much you cheat calories and two meals like how do you fit in all your

calories into two meals or even one meal well there’s a kind of a balance you

don’t want to stuff yourself to then this huge meal where you’re stuffed all

day you want to eat a really good healthy meal make sure the food is

really nutrient dense the kale shakes I always recommend because that has more

nutrition than other types of greens and make sure it’s like salmon that’s a

higher quality than chicken and then you may have to enhance with certain types

of nutrients but we’re not necessarily trying to stuff ourselves we’re trying

to have two big meals and just till you’re satisfied and

or not the body will adapt to that many calories there’s a confusion that people

think that if they have less meals than they’re starving and it’s going to slow

the metabolism that is not true because you’re doing nutrient-dense

meals if you do a small meal and you’re still hungry and it’s like empty

calories or like five small meals of n2k empty calories with sugar you’re

definitely going to create kind of a situation where you’re going to be

hungry and craving all the time and your metabolism will slow down simply because

you’re cutting the calories that you’re covering the nutrients so the real key

is the nutrients so those meals that you consume have to be robust large very

very complete there’s I’ve created other videos just on that one topic okay keto

rash now typically it’s either two situations either the liver is dumping

something and usually the reason for that is that you’re losing a lot of fat

a lot of the toxins in your body is stored in the fat so a lot of times

those toxins can come out of the fat circulate to the blood to the lymphatic

system and come out as a rash so one thing the combat that is to consume a

large quantity of vegetables make sure that’s very high to kind of offset some

of the other fat burning that’s occurring but also bentonite clay you

can consume them on an empty stomach bentonite clay is interesting because

it’s like a little piece of clay that does adsorption which is kind of like it

absorbs on the outside of the particle 20 no it’s 2,000 times its weight so

it’s like a very powerful magnet for toxins or a sponge that will pull these

toxins so they don’t leach out into the tissues

okay bentonite clay okay apple cider vinegar and lemon drink not a problem on

this on times of fasting go ahead and consume that is not going to be an issue

will my cholesterol go up on some people yes simply because the fat cell is

composed of cholesterol and triglycerides

so your body can only burn the triglycerides it doesn’t burn

cholesterol so what happens some people especially losing a lot of weight like

50 or 60 pounds and they have a lot of weight to lose they could have a higher

level of cholesterol but I put a link down below for you to get the complete

scoop on LDL HDL and total cholesterol because you don’t really have to worry

about it if you’re doing this correctly and you’re doing a lot of vegetables

that’s just the excess cholesterol coming out of the fat cell that has to

come out has to go to the liver and be dismantled to the gallbladder now the

keto flu or keto fatigue is basically a situation where you’re missing you’re

depleting potassium and B vitamins so if you were to put those back in either an

electrolyte powder or you can do nutritional yeast that should handle it

like that other things that can happen too which I don’t want to get into that

detailed like you could have an issue with more chance for a kidney stone for

example right well potassium citrate will totally handle that and that’s

that’s only if you’re not consuming enough potassium from the vegetables

which I know is not the case because you you know your vegetables do I recommend

either one of these during breastfeeding not really because you don’t want to do

a diet or you don’t want to try to lose weight when you’re breastfeeding you

want to make sure max maximize the the food there and not worry about doing too

much fasting especially since you have a lot of stuff coming out from the fat

cell same thing with pregnancy don’t

recommend it just eat really healthy during pregnancy and don’t worry about

trying to lose weight or maintain your weight the key thing with pregnancy and

this is the side note is make sure you get take cod liver oil or some grass-fed

liver and I’m going to tell you why because if you consume the right amount

of vitamin A not from a pill but from food you can prevent a lot of issues

with dental arch problems overbite under bite so you want your child to come out

so he or she does not get braces but has good bone structure that’s all the fat

soluble vitamins in the trace minerals so make sure you can

trace minerals and fat fiber vitamins I like cod liver oil and sea kelp is a

good one or a plant-based trace minerals okay for kids can kids do this well if a

child is really overweight I probably would put them on this but if they’re

not I would put them on a version of this and I actually recommend maybe some

fruit not this the extra sweet stuff but I wouldn’t be worried about berries

maybe bananas would be fine but yeah that’s maybe eat sweet potatoes

yams would be okay but other than that if their their metabolism is so fast

they’re going to need some type of starch we’re also going to get really

really skinny okay bulletproof coffee question keeps coming out but sure that

can I do that well some people just have it in the morning to sustain them and

that’s not a problem but it is kind of like a meal if you’re adding fat or

coconut oil it is considered a meal and it could potentially spike instant a

little bit so my whole point with this is try it out and see if you’re happy

with your results with weight loss try it out for a week and then don’t try it

for a week and see how it effects your weight some people do really good some

people do not and I’ll just make one change maybe I’ll cut down the butter

they put in there the coconut and bam they just start really losing weight so

experiment on that but make sure you don’t do a lot of coffee simply because

it stimulates the adrenal so 1:00 in the morning would be perfect now start as

milk if you want to put some organic milk just a little bit it’s not a big

deal okay kombucha tea if you’re going to do kombucha tea for most people it’s

fine it does have ranges from two grams of sugar up to like 10 grams of sugar

make sure it has no more than two grams of sugar and make sure that’s one

serving size and also that’s another one where it could potentially bump you out

of ketosis but it may not so experiment but people that want to a

substitute for alcohol this is what I would recommend drinking a champagne

glass is carbonated has the texture of beer it will relax you but you don’t

need much just do a little bit if you do too much it can actually make you even

too acidic and it can throw off your ph where your breathing is awful

little bit to keep you up at night okay a lot of information just wanted to

cover these questions and let me know what you think below put your comments
