i thought that fasting is supposed to give you a lot of energy

right why am i fatigued someone mentioned that in the comments section

of one of my youtube videos i’m going to explain

why that is there’s actually only two reasons so if you’re tired while you’re

doing fasting these are the two reasons very very

simple fasting and doing keto is supposed to

take you from burning sugar stored sugar it’s called

glycogen over here to fat burning where you’re

burning fatty acids and you’re burning ketones okay so that’s the goal here

most people have a lot more of this to burn and when you fully

are adapted to ketosis you’re supposed to feel good

have tons of energy but if you don’t it could be you’re not at a full fat

burning capacity okay realize the conversion from here to

here takes between three to seven days so if

it’s the second day and you’re wondering why i don’t have

energy well that’s just because you haven’t converted over yet

to do this as fast as possible you need to keep your carbs low if

you’re trying to convert over but your carbs are too high

you’ll never get there so the carbs have to be down there at least below

i’d say 40 grams per day some people say 50 grams a day but

sometimes if you have severe insulin resistance it could has to be below

20 grams a day or less to speed things up

so the carbs have to be low fasting even though it’s not necessary i always

recommend it because that’ll speed things

up especially if you’re doing snacks for the day keto bombs

so-called things that are friendly but you have very

severe insulin resistance it’s going to take a long time

okay so carbs low fast two meals a day even better yet one meal

a day if you could do it but these two should get you over here

relatively fast now if you have severe insulin resistance

it could actually be a little bit longer and

you may need to in the meantime to jump start things

actually just take things that can give you ketones right away

just to make things a little bit smoother so you could add some mct oil

a tablespoon once in the morning once in the evening

should do it and then you’ll start having energy right away because you’re

having ketones there to supply the brain and the tissues you can also

take something called exogenous ketones which are called ketone

salts you can buy those and take those and you should start having energy

this is one reason right here you haven’t given enough time

usually the other reason is this in order for

the ketones or fatty acids to be burned in the energy factory called the

mitochondria it needs helper nutrients they’re called

cofactors and that would include vitamin b5

b6 b1 potassium sodium and i forgot one magnesium

okay so you need a combination of the b vitamins and you need minerals those two

right here and if you’re deficient in these

going into this keto program you may find you have what’s called keto fatigue

but it’s very simple nutritional yeast a good mineral blend will give you

energy almost within hours so i just wanted to

point out if you’re tired doing intermittent

fasting it’s going to be either this process right here

or you need some cofactors to make this work

all right thanks for watching
