I wanted to create a short video to talk

about the association between fasting

and your appetite and your nutrient

levels now as soon as people start doing

fascinating their appetite goes away

they feel better less inflammation

better energy cognitive function and the

real big focus that everyone has their

attention on is weight loss the more

weight they lose the healthier they

think they are but just realize that

when you lose weight that’s just one

part of getting healthy so what happens

is you cut you down your carbs you go on

a fast you’re no longer burning up all

your stored sugar you’re actually

tapping in your fat so you’re running on

your fat fuel and because of that your

appetite is gone right so you work your

way up to one meal a day and this goes

on for months and months and months

until you achieve your goal now what I

noticed with some people is they start

dropping out the healthy version of keto

they start pretty much eating whatever

they want on that one meal a day the

problem with that is they could

potentially start developing nutritional

deficiencies not right away

but down the road now depending on what

nutrient deficiency we’re talking about

it could take longer or shorter

for example b12 could be stored up to a

year so that might not show up right

away depending on how much you have in

reserve the B vitamins for example like

be one even potassium doesn’t get stored

for very long so you can run out of

those real fast so if you’re feeling

great when you start this and then down

the road you’re getting tired

dizzy week you don’t have any endurance

you have hair loss maybe your nails are

become brittle or you start getting mood

changes or even cognitive issues suspect

that you may have a nutrient deficiency

despite losing weight and having no

appetite

so the main point on this video is I

just want to put your attention on this

when you do fasting make sure that you

do that healthy version of keto ensure

that that meal that you do consume is

really nutrient-dense whether it’s one

mil a day or

two per day or one every other day and I

would highly recommend also enhancing

your food with additional supplements

because it’s really difficult to get

your nutrients even with three meals a

day now it is true that when you go on

one meal a day the requirements go down

however just to make sure I would

recommend that you’re supplementing with

omega-3 fatty acids unless you’re doing

salmon and fatty fish maybe every other

day also you want to make sure you get

enough protein if you’re doing one meal

a day that might end up minimally eight

ounces maybe up to ten ounces maybe even

more depending on your age if you’re an

athlete and how you feel some people

just need more protein also there’s a

lot of people doing keto they’re not

doing enough vegetables so that’s the

case you better be taking minerals trace

minerals vitamin C and maybe even some

folic acid but the best thing to do is

to beef up your vegetables no pun

intended

vitamin E is also found in vegetables

and nuts some people especially women if

they’re past menopause definitely need

more vitamin E to help them with the

transition and also to minimize side

effects like hot flashes for example if

you’re going to do about them in e make

sure you find one that doesn’t just have

to cough rawls but it also has

tocotrienols which is the other part of

the vitamin E complex and vitamin D is

almost impossible to get in your diet

nowadays so I would highly recommend

taking that as an additional supplement

alright so I just wanted to bring up

this point that over a period of time if

you start feeling any of these symptoms

right here it could be a nutrient

deficiency and despite losing weight and

having no appetite there’s still issues

but I will say that if you’re low on

vitamin b12 or low in vitamin d3 that

alone could actually also create a lack

of appetite but usually if you’re doing

animal products you’re not going to have

a problem with b12 but vitamin D is

definitely a common problem for a lot of

people especially if they don’t get

enough Sun and also in the winter all

right there you have
