hey guys I want to answer this one

question that a person had relating to

being on keto okay and then once you

fully adapt and you’re actually in fat

burning and you plateau in another video

I mentioned you on the lower your

dietary fat to force your body to burn

its own fat okay and so the follow-up

question that this person had was this

if I cut back on fat won’t my calories

be too low okay so that’s the question

and we’re going we’re gonna answer take

a look at this you you were burning

sugar now you want a keto you’re doing

it a minute fasting and now you have

been converted to fat okay so you’re

burning fat and it’s been maybe one to

two months and you you’ve adapted so

your hunger scone and your cravings are

down and everything is smooth but let’s

say your metabolism is a little bit slow

and things are sluggish and you’re just

not you’re not losing as much as you’d

like

so if you start to lower your dietary

fat down to about 75 grams maybe a

little bit less this forces your own

body to use your own stored fat now

think about it an average skinny person

has about between eighty to a hundred

thousand store calories of fat on their

body so that’s a lot of fat to run off

of so when you’re doing keto and in a

minute fasting you’re dropping your

carbs and you’re forcing your body to

burn fat which is a very good thing

that’s a natural thing but if you’re

doing in a minute fasting at one meal or

two meals per day then you reduce your

fat what does that leave you with three

to six ounces of protein and vegetables

is this gonna be enough well hopefully

you’re doing larger quantities of

vegetables here’s the missing piece of

the puzzle yes these are small amount of

calories the main thing is to get your

nutrients God is the key so you want to

go high quality with this 75 grams like

some salmon while caught beef things

like that and maybe some fish oil and

then high quality vegetables so you get

your nutrients so yes three to six

ounces of protein and a big salad if

you’re doing one meal a day is

not gonna add up to that many calories

let’s say it’s 900 calories but realize

that a good portion of the calories that

you’re burning and the energy that

you’re getting is from your body fat

calories okay so the calories are not

just 900 it’s more and this is why you

can go from meal to meal without being

hungry too much okay because your body

is being fed it’s just not being fed by

the diet it’s being fed by the stored

fat so if you plateaued and you’re at

one the two meals a day probably one mil

a day and you cut back on your fat don’t

really worry about the calories worry

about the nutrients focus on increasing

the nutrients nutrient-dense foods and

realize that you’re not going to starve

because your body’s burning up its own

stored fat okay and those definitely

count as the total calories that you’re

burning so just don’t omit the body fat
