so you’re still craving sweets on the

ketogenic diet well here are the

possibilities number one you are still

in a transition phase from sugar burning

to fat burning it takes sometimes three

days up to two weeks sometimes up to a

month or more because your body is

building new enzymes new machinery to

actually burn fat and then that

situation if you’ve never been burning

fat your whole life have been living on

sugar like I was then that means that

it’s going to take some time alright so

give it more time number two you need

more potassium potassium is the key

mineral to decrease the need for insulin

it also helps you store glucose in the

liver and the muscles so it really cuts

down the sugar cravings okay so you can

either get that from vegetables or as a

supplement okay in between if you create

chocolate you need magnesium so just get

it as a supplement or have some

chocolate but make sure that it’s not

right before bed and make sure it’s

sugar-free all right if you crave the

bread or the pasta that could mean that

you need more B vitamins so nutritional

yeast I like to put that in almond

butter or it could be just a habit that

you just see this incredible dessert and

you just are so used to eating it maybe

you might not crave it you just want it

because it gives you pleasure so there’s

a difference between craving have to

have it versus oh I would really enjoy

that if I ate that right now

okay so you have to distinguish because

this could be a habit because you’ve

been doing it for a long time

the last one is liver dysfunction if the

liver is either fatty or has cirrhosis

scar tissue it’s going to affect the

blood sugars because you don’t have the

capacity to hold the stored sugar

between meals you don’t have the

capacity to make the igf number one

that’s insulin-like growth factor number

one which is a hormone that helps

regulate sugar between the meals and it

also helps you mobilize fat you might

need to build up that liver so you want

to support the liver with certain

nutrition I think I’m going to put a

link down below and the nutrients that

you need to support the liver are the

same nutrients that support in

Linda’s function okay so go ahead and

put some attention and then if you need

to and put your comments below
