today we’re going to talk about yacon syrup  okay it’s not keto friendly if you look up yacon  

syrup on google you’ll find a lot of conflicting  information certain keto gurus will say oh yeah  

it’s fine you can have it it’s going to help you  lose weight when in fact it’s not so let’s talk  

about why it won’t help you lose weight so first  of all what is it it’s the root of the yacon plant  

okay in peru 50 of it is foss which  stands for fructo oligosaccharide it’s a  

prebiotic fiber now if you have any problem with  candida sibo leaky gut any inflammation in the gut  

and you take this it’s going to blow you up just  fyi 30 of this plant is fructose sugar now realize  

fructose is low on the glycemic index simply  because this sugar is only metabolized by your  

liver not all of your cells so they consider it  low but the truth is that it overwhelms the liver  

and eventually creates insulin resistance there’s  a lot more to it and i put a link down below for  

more information but you got to be careful with  fructose because it really will create a fatty  

liver so 30 of that is fructose and the rest is  glucose so this is the reason why you don’t want  

to add this to your keto lifestyle because it’s  going to completely block your ability to get into  

ketosis now maybe it’s a little bit better than  regular sugar but not by very much the glycemic  

index of yacon syrup is 40 that’s considered low  but again it has the fructose and the glucose so  

you want to stay away from it and that’s despite  one study that shows that it will help you lose  

weight that was performed using a low-fat or  low-calorie diet i just don’t agree with that  

study i think there’s some flaws and if you’re  doing a keto diet and you’re adding any sugar  

to your diet at all that’s going to prevent you  from tapping into your fat all right that’s a wrap  

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

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth
