hi guys I want to do a video on ketosis

after cheat day well first of all I want

to know whoever said you could actually

cheat on the program anyway I don’t know

who made that up

I mean ketosis after cheat day is very

is equivalent to marriage after a cheat

day you might end up with some problems

right because what happens is it took

you 2 to 6 weeks to get into ketosis

because your cells have to adapt your

enzymes have to adapt and you’re going

along and all of a sudden you have a

cheat day well you think you can just

like a switch and pop it right back well

if it took two weeks to get into ketosis

how many how much time you think it’s

gonna take to get back into it after you

cheat it could take anywhere between 48

to 72 hours if you’re lucky

but sometimes up to a week yeah I’m

sorry to tell you that and so there’s

some variables I want to talk about if

you’re 23 years old and you’re a guy and

you’re fairly thin you could probably

flip back and forth with no problem but

if you’re 50 or 60 year old female that

has been and diets it’s gonna be a

situation because the metabolism is

still not repaired so in other words if

you cheat just realize it’s gonna take a

long time to get you back into where you

started from

now sometimes people will when I

evaluate them I find out they haven’t

gone back to the original eating plan

it’s somewhat of a modified ketogenic

diet where their each day they’re eating

a little bit of the wrong food well

they’ll never get back into ketogenic

ketosis because the whole hallmark of

ketosis is low carbs really low carbs ok

so the variables are metabolism so

that’s gonna predict how fast you can

get back into ketosis if your metabolism

is good you could probably get back to

and fast also your age that’s important

not how long you’ve been in ketosis if

you’ve done this for several years your

system is finally efficient where you

could probably switch back and do it

pretty easy but if you’ve done this you

started last month and you you lived

your whole life on sugar it could bump

you way out of ketosis and I keep

getting this question you know I had my

cheat day and it’s I’m not back into

ketosis and it’s been

week I said well you’re not quite there

yet so and I don’t know who gave you

authorization to cheat anyway but I

never did so and then how well you’re

sticking to ketosis when you’re doing it

and then how much you cheat so if you’re

cheating the whole day versus let’s say

one meal that could be a variable as

well so I just wanted to point out that

I think your cheat should be a healthy

pleasure food that you can actually make

with these recipes I’ll put some links

below like you have the keto bombs you

can do with chocolate you can do with

almond flour and really enjoy that but

if you’re gonna just car about that

could be a problem and just have the

expectation that it’s going to take some

time to get back alright thanks for
