hi guys I want to answer the question that someone  presented to me and they felt they wanted to know  

why they felt so sick when going on a ketogenic  diet and it doesn’t seem to be getting better  

okay so we’re going to talk about that this video  you know you can call it the keto flu you can call  

it being nauseous but here’s really the big reason  why you would get sick on a ketogenic diet there’s  

several factors okay one there’s really actually  only two factors now there’s three one is you’re  

introducing more fats into the diet okay now  if you don’t have a gallbladder if you don’t  

have enough bile and you add too much fat that’s  going to overload the liver in the gallbladder and  

you’re going to feel more nauseousness in loading  and right shoulder pain okay so that’s that okay  

so if you don’t have those symptoms we’ll put  those over here the next reason why you would  

feel sick is that the ketogenic diet does tend  to deplete certain requires certain nutrients  

because you’re switching from sugar burning into  fat burning so you in this fat burning machine  

in the cells you’re requiring more vitamin b5  vitamin b6 b1 from other B vitamins potassium  

you’re requiring more of these nutrients that you  weren’t necessarily requiring over here and if  

you’re deficient in these nutrients you’re going  to feel kind of funky ok so that could be why  

you’re feeling like that so you want to increase  either some electrolytes potassium magnesium and  

even sodium okay and then the B vitamins and  that should handle it if that doesn’t handle  

it then we’re left with the third reason which  is basically you’ve been running your whole body  

on sugar your whole life ok and now we’re trying  to convert over to a completely different machine  

with new enzymes and you’re not used to and for  some people they can switch from sugar burning the  

fat burning like that other people especially are  if they’re pre diabetic or have insulin resistance  

it could take a while ok now there’s two ways  you can do this you can either bite the bullet  

and go cold turkey and just switch over and just  go through this transition period which shouldn’t  

be more than three days to a week okay of feeling  kind of funky and then you’ll start feeling better  

or you can do it more on a gradient a gradual  amount where you’re doing the ketogenic diet  

but you’re adding in maybe some other things on  the transition okay so now that’s what I want to  

talk about what you would you add in there so it’s  not to create a problem I think you should start  

number one just eliminating all refined sugars  okay and grains okay so that would be step one  

but you also have in there you’re eating some  fruits okay so that’s your transition you should  

not feel pretty feel too bad from that so you’re  doing this ketogenic diet with some fruits maybe  

a baked potato maybe like a yam sweet potato or  a yam or maybe some quinoa something like that  

okay but you’re not doing any wheats you’re not  doing crackers you’re not doing chips you’re not  

doing actual sugar of a candy okay and you do  that for a while so your body can kind of get  

used to it and then you slowly start taking away  the fruit a little bit more and more and more and  

then you take away the yams or sweet potato and I  think for some people that’s the way they should  

do it so they don’t feel sick but again this is  not the majority it’s for a select few that just  

their system is not kicking over fast enough so  number one make sure you don’t go crazy with the  

fats number two put the B vitamins electrolytes in  number three cut back this this high-level change  

and go gradual okay by keeping in some fruits  definitely berries would be the best I wouldn’t  

do apples but try to do something maybe pineapple  something like that alright thanks for watching
