I want to talk about the difference between fasting and keto and which one

is better I had this question come up underneath one of the descriptions in my

youtube videos so I’m going to just talk about it so when we talk about keto

we’re talking about low-carb now you could do keto with zero carbs you could

do that but most people have just a small amount of carb they might have it

between 20 and 50 grams but when you’re doing fasting you’re bringing it down to no

carbs because you’re not eating anything okay so just for the fact that you have

no carbs means that you’re gonna have way more ketones than when you do

actually do keto if you compare them together now with keto you’re gonna be

eating at a certain frequency and every time you eat regardless of what you eat

if there’s any any significance of calories you’re gonna stimulate

something called GIP okay that’s in the small intestine that triggers a spike in

insulin so even though you’re consuming low carbohydrates you are stimulating

insulin when you eat to a certain degree but over here when you’re fasting

there’s no GIP stimulated so you’re gonna have a lot lower insulin and a lot

more ketones that are generated all right next thing is that when you

actually are in ketones you will stimulate certain genes that will help

you in various ways but when you’re fasting you actually enhance even

additional genes that have to do with survival and definitely have to do with

anti-aging and longevity which will help the brain become more focused and the

heart to become more efficient and those ketones that are generated for both will

actually increase more oxygen in the body and less co2 and ketones in general

act as antioxidants now with fasting you’re going to get much more autophagy

and that is a condition where your body is recycling old damaged proteins and

turning them into new tissue now with ketosis you are going to get some

autophagy but not nearly as much so just by looking at these two alone you can

see that fasting has a much more powerful impact

on your health than just ketosis now I recommend you combine them together

because they will have a compounded effect the benefits will be enhanced

because doing one will help the other doing this will help that it’ll be

easier to do because when you’re doing fasting and then you eat if you actually

eat keto less carbs your cravings will be diminished you won’t be hungry

as much but if you’re doing fasting and doing higher carbohydrates you may find

that number one it’s gonna bump you out of ketosis for longer and you’re gonna

be actually craving for more carbs so that’s one little issue with that so

eating keto makes fasting easier now when you’re doing keto and not doing

intermittent fasting you may not see the benefits that you would especially with

weight loss anti-aging cognitive effects especially if you’re doing keto

with keto snacks so you’re doing three meals with a snack in the morning lunch

and at night you’re probably going to really diminish your results so if

you’re trying to lose weight and you’re doing keto but not IF and you have a

slow metabolism you may find that you’re gonna actually stall or plateau sooner

or later so combining both of these will definitely allow you to achieve your

health goals much faster now if you’re new to my channel and you’re not sure

how to do it I’m gonna recommend doing what’s called the healthy version of

keto as well as intermittent fasting and I put a link down below of exactly where

to get that plan so I wanted to say thank you so much
