hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk about keto-adaptation symptoms and

solutions when you start the ketogenic diet you may have any one of these

symptoms okay in this video we’re going to show you what to do okay so muscle

cramps that’s usually a low potassium situation so you need to increase your

potassium levels palpitations or heart arrhythmias increase more potassium

because as you lose the glycogen Reserve because you’re not going to use as much

of it anymore you lose a lot of water and with the water comes the

electrolytes so the need for potassium will go way up so we want to increase

potassium here if you feel weak that usually means you need more sodium sea

salt would handle that bad breath means you’re consuming too much protein cut

down the protein maybe add a little apple cider vinegar for digestion dizzy

that can mean three things but when we’re doing keto it usually means that

you need to increase your sodium because you’re losing more fluid and the blood

pressures going to low so salt retains water so you just need more sea salt and

water for that okay then we have fatigue okay you need to up your b1 and b5

nutritional yeast works great for that if you feel more cold especially and in

intermittent fasting take some iodine sea kelp you can also do sea vegetables as

well but you may just need to go with the sea kelp a high quality would be

really good for that ok not satisfied after a meal that means you need more

fat okay when your body adapts to ketosis and you actually start healing

insulin resistance the need for fat goes down because your body can now run on

your own fat but when you’re first starting out you’re not as satisfied

increase the fat apple cider vinegar that would be good now if you have right

shoulder pain that means you’re consuming too much fat or too many nuts

which is irritating the gallbladder there’s a nerve that goes to the right

shoulder it could be going up to your neck or jaw or head or even a headache

right over here do you have those symptoms cut back the fat and nuts and

that should completely go away constipation okay you want to avoid too

much cheese cheese can constipate people too much meat could constipate a person

increase the vegetables increase your potassium if you’re already doing that

you’re going to a lot of vegetables you can become

constipated from consuming too much of the type of vegetables that you’re not

used to so if you’re doing the Kal sakes or large quantities of vegetables then

you might need to cut down and consume more fermented vegetables to handle this

so you always want to look back to what happened just before you got constipated

did you start introducing something new that will give you a clue on what’s

causing it okay low back pain or abdominal pain could mean you have a

little stone developing in the kidney in which case you need to really

dramatically increase your potassium levels you I would recommend a potassium

citrate like an electrolyte powder with a lot of water that will greatly help

you in combination with a lot more citrus so get some lemon juice in pour

about three to four ounces in a glass and start consuming that that will

actually be really good to counteract the stones and they’re usually uric acid

stones they’re not always oxalate stones okay

they’re the dreams that means you’re low in b1 nutritional yeast would help you or

sunflower seeds bloated okay cut down the amount of fat increase apple cider

vinegar maybe get some support with bile salts like in the gall bladder formula

that might help to if you have a rash that could either mean you need more B

vitamins from nutritional yeast or the liver is dumping toxins so you want to

make sure your vegetables are very very high okay headaches means that you’re

going too fast okay so you want to cut it back so if you’re doing intermittent

fasting two meals go to three meals if you’re doing one meal go to two meals so

just go a little slower because this could be a blood sugar situation if

you’re nervous have anxiety that means you need B vitamins so nutritional yeast
