so i get this question quite frequently how much weight

can a person actually lose when they’re fasting now i just want to mention the

difference between doing the ketogenic diet okay and you have

fasting over here and if you combine them it’s a whole

different thing but if you’re just doing the ketogenic diet alone where you’re

lowering your carbs the most that you can lose per week is

about two pounds of fat per week if you’re healthy but

what if you’re fasting every day how much can you lose

you potentially could lose a lot more you can lose

a half a pound a day and that would be 0.227 kilograms for those Europeans

or that comes out to three and a half pounds loss per week

or 1.58 kilograms per week now just realize that this is

the best case scenario you’re not going to lose more than this

you have to have a really healthy metabolism

to be able to lose that much now if you’re just starting out you’re

probably going to lose anywhere between 7 to 15 pounds for the first week and

that’s pretty much going to happen on just about any diet that you do that

lowers the carbs why because you’re going to lose a ton

of water weight where is the water weight coming from

it’s coming from the stored glucose as glycogen so

there’s 3 to 3.8 grams of water in every gram of glucose if it’s stored

as glycogen so glycogen which is stored glucose and

your liver and your muscles is like a fluid-filled sponge

and when you’re doing fasting you’re going to use up the glycogen in your

liver not your muscles but in the liver and some other places to the point where

you’re not going to have very much glycogen in your liver and you’re going

to dump a lot of water i think most people knew

that but if you didn’t that’s what it is now there are all

sorts of variables that go along with this depending on

your age if you’re 18 years old you’re going to lose a heck of a lot more than

a 65 year old so you have your activity level your

exercise level if you’re male or female females have more estrogen it makes it

more difficult to lose weight you have how strong your metabolism is

how healthy you are and then you have what you eat when you break the fast

i think that’s really important and also your stress level

so these are the variables that will determine if you’re going to

lose this much or that much depending on if you’re fasting

or just doing the ketogenic diet or a combination of both

before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto
