the more people that tell you a lie does

that ever make it a truth what about if

that lie was on credible websites would

that make it more likely to be true so

today we’re going to talk about

carbohydrate lies because if you look up

symptoms and signs of carbohydrate

deficiencies you’re going to find

information that not only is untrue but

it’s the complete opposite of what

really happens you’ll be told that our

brain and our muscles need carbohydrate

to function you’ll be told that glucose

is the primary fuel that our body

prefers and that when you start cutting

out one of the major food groups

carbohydrates all sorts of very bad

things happen like craving junk food

like crazy and craved carbohydrates

because you’re cutting out carbohydrates

you’ll be hungry all the time which is

not good if you’re trying to lose weight

you’ll start experiencing brain fog and

fatigue because you’re going to starve

your brain of its fuel that it really

needs you may experience mood swings

irritability

hypoglycemic symptoms when you exercise

your performance will be terrible

because you’re depleting all of the

glycogen the stored sugar in your

muscles and unless you start consuming

things like Gatorade or sugar boy you’re

going to be tired and the more that you

start cutting out these carbs the more

constipation because you’re cutting out

fiber and of course you might experience

headaches and bad breath it’s called

keto breath and yes you may experience

some temporary weight loss but you’re

really just losing water weight and with

water weight loss comes a loss of

electrolytes and you may start

experiencing palpitations and

arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation that

could lead to Strokes having a

carbohydrate deficiency apparently it’s

very dangerous in fact you may even end

up with a disease to talk about the

disease being lactic acidosis right well

first of all that oh only will occur if

you’re a type 1 diabetic and you don’t

take your insulin lactic acidosis that

comes from ketoacidosis is not even

similar to being in ketosis okay there

are two different things completely

different one is pathogenic and one is

super healthy and then they might relate

to ketosis to starvation because if you

starve your body you go into ketosis and

because starvation is bad ketosis is bad

what about intermittent fasting that’s

different than starvation starvation

occurs after you lose all your fat which

can take months okay and then you’re

breaking down your muscles but fasting

is really different

when you do fasting for once you finally

are able to tap in to your own fact but

you’ll never tap in the fat unless you

have a carbohydrate deficiency so let’s

talk about the true benefits in a

carbohydrate deficiency which is the

opposite of what they say Okay number

one you’re not going to have any more

Cravings okay number two you’re going to

lose your appetite you’re no longer

going to be hungry number three you’re

going to have wonderful cognitive

improvements your brain is going to work

better next thing is your mood’s going

to be better if you had depression if

you had anxiety now as far as your

performance for exercise

you’re going to be able to tap into fat

fuel which is going to allow you to have

a better steady energy and your exercise

is going to be much much better it is

true that you will lose glycogen while

you’re on a lower carbohydrate diet and

with a loss of glycogen comes a loss of

fluids okay and with that comes a loss

of electrolytes especially salt so if

you’re deficient in salt your

performance with exercise is going to be

greatly diminished but all you have to

do is take more sea salt and take

electrolytes and any type of fatigue

problems or lack of performance will be

dramatically improved your brain is

going to work better you’re going to

have less headaches and as far as bad

breath personally I have never had bad

breath going on the ketogenic diet I’ve

talked to tens of thousands of people

and it’s very rare to have bad breath if

you’re doing keto correctly now it is

true that if you do the dirty version of

Keto which basically is you’re not

paying attention to the quality of food

so you know at a fast food place or

whatever yes you may have some bad

breath and when you initially adapt to

the ketogenic diet you may also have

some bad breath but it’s so temporary as

soon as your body starts burning more

ketones and starts to utilize these

ketones more efficiently this is why the

tests that they use to measure ketones

from your breath and the urine are not

going to work once you really get into

keto adaptation so if you’re new to keto

this is what you need to know you have

to bring the carbs way down to roughly

between 30 to 50 grams per day now let’s

compare that to what’s recommended by

all of these websites okay the amount of

carbohydrates that is normally

recommended by the majority of experts

is between now are you sitting for this

225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates every

single day that’s more than 10 times the

amount than what you really need to get

into ketosis it’s kind of like lowering

your carbs a little bit but not enough

to really tap into your fat so you are

going to feel crummy you are going to

have hypoglycemia you are going to have

a lot of problems so you must reduce the

carbs

way down to about 30 to 50 grams okay to

be able to have this all work and you

must also give it a little bit of time

usually between two to three days at the

very most but once your body converts

over wow you will experience benefits

that you’ve never experienced before any

carbohydrate that your brain requires

can be made from

non-carbohydrate sources okay and the

term for this is called gluco neo

genesis glucose meaning sugar Neo

meaning new genesis meaning the creation

of or making of something you’re making

new sugar out of fat ketones or protein

you don’t need carbs there’s no such

thing as an essential carbohydrate but

there is an essential fatty acid in fact

there’s really no study that shows or

proves that a carbohydrate deficiency

leads to anything bad at all in fact

it’s just the opposite when you restrict

your carbohydrates all sorts of

wonderful things happen especially if

you do the healthy version of the

ketogenic diet now if you’re new to keto

and you want to know how to do it

healthily I put that video up right here
