are you on keto but you’re not losing

weight would you like to know what

you’re doing wrong this is a very common

question okay

here’s what you need to know as the most

important thing fat is only used up

burnt as fuel in the absence of glucose

it’s the hidden carbs that really keep

people from tapping into ketosis and

losing weight they’re consuming a lot of

the products like slimfast now has a

whole line of keto friendly products

loaded with multiple dextran for example

so you might be doing that maybe you’re

not doing in a minute fasting you’re

just focusing on ketosis okay but you’re

having snacks between the meal and those

snacks potentially have hidden carbs so

you want to make sure you’re not

consuming any multi dextran tapioca

starch so start really evaluating your

carbohydrates you want to bring your

carbs down to 10 or less now there are

other reasons as well let’s say for

example you are bloating a lot or you’re

constipated that could be a huge huge

barrier it could be because you’re

eating so frequently and I’ll get to

that in a second within a minute fasting

but frequent eating creates a lot of

bloating and that could prevent you from

losing weight because every time you eat

you spike insulin and insulin creates

all sorts of visceral fat around the gut

so even though you’re eating healthy the

fact that you’re eating does raise

insulin to certain degree and insulin is

what really keeps you from losing weight

let’s say for example you’re on social

media and you’re finding all these great

desserts like with sugar alcohols and

almond flour so a lot of times when you

start keto you want to make it enjoyable

so you’re making all these keto friendly

desserts which is great but a lot of

people have sensitivities to these sugar

alcohols and they get a lot of bloating

the bloating will keep you from losing

weight because you’re retaining fluid

all right too many nuts or too much

peanut butter it’s actually a go-to food

for many people they’re constantly

eating peanut butter through the day or

a lot of nuts and this can irritate the

gall bladder and just prevent you from

getting into a deep state of ketosis or

are you doing too much cheese very

constipating for certain people they

might have allergies and both of both

nuts and cheese can really blow a person

certain vegetables especially if you

have digestive issues like SIBO small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth where

you have all these microbes in your

small intestine and you just gassed out

all the time then you need to cut down

your vegetables I have a video on that

down below if you may have an issue with

too many vegetables

okay so bloating is another barrier and

then number three you’re just eating too

frequently there is a large percent of

the population especially over the age

of 40 50 and 60 who have a very slow

metabolism and they’re going to need to

do one meal a day you want to work up to

it I have a lot of videos on this I put

a link down below but not until you hit

this one meal a day will you start

seeing the real real benefits so if I

were you I would bite the bullet try

this out because this is like probably

the second most important thing once you

make sure there’s no hidden carbs so now

there’s exercise act Rafi especially

after menopause looks like fat when you

go through menopause or premenopause you

get this spike of cortisol cortisol

destroys the muscles and you start

getting this flabby tissue it looks like

that but it’s actually a loss of muscle

so if you’re doing keto you’re not going

to necessarily grow your muscles back

right away you’re going to need to do

exercise unfortunately it could take

some time it could take up to one to two

to three years to get those muscles back

but I do recommend everyone have an

exercise program and start getting into

that at your level next point is time

the whole philosophy that I teach is you

have to get healthy to lose weight not

lose weight to get healthy if you focus

on the health not necessarily the weight

loss you’ll be more successful and I’m

talking about energy levels no cravings

your hunger goes away your cognitive

function is better your sleep is better

your stress tolerance is better that

means it’s working but let’s say your

weight loss isn’t is not happening well

you just got to give it time because in

the process of healing I

your body will focus on certain things

first and other things later so it may

take time especially if you have a

history of severe insulin resistance

which the majority population has a

problem with so to fix this it does take

time and you just have to give it time

so look at all the benefits not just

weight loss and then protein I noticed

that when people do a keto program a lot

of times they might consume too much

protein and that can raise insulin so

you want to moderate amount of protein

usually for an average person it’s going

to be between three to six ounces

sometimes seven maybe even eight ounces

but don’t go over that alright guys

there you have it these are the main

reasons why people are not experiencing

weight loss on keto thanks for watching
