hi guys so you plateaued and you’re

stuck and you’re you want to squeeze out

more results I created this little chart

to kind of give you some ideas of what

to look at and what could be missing

because when you evaluate someone and

they’re telling you I’m not getting

results I’ve done Kido I’ve done in them

and fasting it’s not working for me

well I can’t evaluate that unless I have

more information well instead of me

consulting you what I’m gonna do is I’m

gonna show you all the common points

that always come up with people that are

kind of stuck alright so here you are

you’re doing a lot of different meals in

the very beginning and this is what

people do is they’re grazing every hour

and a half they have to eat if to eat

you have to eat and this is where I was

that’s a certain point so what I didn’t

know and what a lot of people don’t know

is every time you spike insulin so we

have a lot of insulin or so the person

has a high level of insulin going on in

their blood even in a fasting state they

don’t know it because they’ve never been

tested the doctors never even focused on

it and the blood sugars usually are

normal because that comes later because

the high levels of insulin will keep the

blood sugars down right so it won’t go

up yet so they have severe insulin

resistance okay or you may have severe

insulin resistance and that’s what

you’re up against so the goal is to get

healthy insulin that should be your goal

okay and then that’s what you should

research so what you want to do first is

learn all about it get it enough

information don’t just do this half way

because you can’t it doesn’t work doing

it half way you have to fully understand

all the details because one little thing

could mess you up and you have to commit

to all or nothing because doing it

partial like if you do keto with that

mmm fasting it won’t work if you do them

and fasting without keto it doesn’t work

so there’s certain guidelines that you

need to know understand learn about and

then you jump in and do it like you’re

supposed to like people ask about cheat

days well that’s just going to throw you

off for several days so you just want to

start off knowing what to do okay so the

step one is the three meals okay you’re

probably already doing that no snacks

okay so to be able to go from one meal

to the next you need more fat that’ll

help you it’s more

fine you need more salad and greens so

that’ll give you a potassium to heal in

for the resistance and speed things up

okay so what happens between three meals

and two meals is that’s when you’re

really doing a key to adaptation you’re

adapting to fat in that process you’re

usually going to need more of certain

nutrients you’re going to need more

potassium and b1

I recommend electrolyte powder or

potassium citrate that’s in it or

nutritional yeast that’ll speed things

up so you won’t get the side effects so

you’re gonna go from here to here you’re

gonna push your breakfast forward into

the point where you have two meals a day

it shouldn’t be that bad so most people

can do this so now they’re at two meals

a day no snacks everything’s cool

now but here’s the thing if you still

have cravings if you’re still hungry

between the meals like excessively

you’re not fully adapted so either you

got to cut your carbs lower okay keep

the carbs lower there’s some hidden

carbs somewhere or you’re not consuming

enough greens okay or your protein is

off a little bit so let me just kind of

quickly explain protein you know if

you’re doing three meals you’re doing

like maybe an average of four ounces of

protein per meal if you’re doing two

meals it’s like five ounces of protein

per meal if doing one meal it’s about

eight ounces of protein per meal some

people want to know about calories and

grams it’s extremely confusing I’m going

to tell you why but I will explain it if

you want to know so let’s say for

example you have some beef okay and you

have four ounces of beef which comes out

to a hundred in 13 grams and you’re

thinking oh wow

so I need 113 grams of protein per meal

no no no no this gram is for the total

weight of everything in that beef

because half of the beef is protein and

half of it is fat or maybe it’s like not

exactly half and half but the point is

that this is the total the actual amount

of protein

be something like I don’t know 32 grams

okay and as you look at these

nutritional facts as you if you wanted

to study it you’re gonna go away wait a

second I’m counting the grams of protein

and grams of fat but they don’t equal to

total what else is what else am I

missing here well what they don’t

usually write in the Supplemental facts

is water water makes a big portion of

that hundred thirteen grams so in other

words don’t ever look at the total grams

it’s gonna confuse you okay just look at

the total grams of protein the other

thing that you can do this is a little

formula the very minimum amount of

protein you want to consume per day of

actual protein is 0.36 times your body

weight okay that will give you the

amount of protein that you need if you

really wanted to know specifically but I

don’t know why you’d want because I’m

just giving you the ounces right here

but you can go between point three six

two point seven grams now per kilogram

that’s a whole different unit but per

pound so you you’d multiply let’s say

you weighed 200 pounds to a hundred

times point seven and that would give

you the total number of grams of protein

and that is per day not per meal okay so

it’s a little confusing because we’re

measuring the keto formula for certain

macronutrients and in a minute of

fasting and what’s confusing for that is

as we consume less food then the amount

of protein per day is going to decrease

simply because our body’s going to adapt

to conserving proteins it’s going to be

more conservative of retaining more

nutrients and you’re not going to need

as much food and you’re gonna be fine

you’re not going to become nutritionally

deficient okay but I just wanted to give

you this formula if you wanted to know

that but the point is that you could

increase or decrease your protein

depending on how you feel as well like

sometimes people feel like I had enough

protein for the day they just know they

have enough or you know what I need a

little more protein but this is kind of

like the range I would recommend now in

the very beginning when you’re doing

three meals a day you’re doing more fat

and you’re trying to get your body in

fat-burning but I mean the goal is

really to get your body to burn its own

fat so if there’s too much dietary fat

available in the diet body’s not going

to necessarily go after your reserve as

much it’ll go after the diet so what

does that mean it means that as you go

to two meals in one meal and you want to

lower the amount of extra of fat so I

would basically at this point if you

want to lose weight cut down the amount

of fat not by him consuming lean protein

but just don’t add more fat into the

meal just keep your fat within the

protein that you normally that normally

comes with the fat and then you’re going

to be okay but too much fat can slow

down your progress now the other thing

is if you’re what determines whether you

go to two meals to one meal that really

has to do with your goal do you want to

lose more weight yes

okay but my metabolism is slow and it’s

not working at two meals we’ll just go

to one one meal that’s going to really

speed things up for you to heal insulin

resistance and you’re gonna see a lot

more progress because you’re up against

yours of maybe a sluggish metabolism and

hormonal issues and so you’re gonna have

to do something so this would be very

very important slow metabolism go to one

meal a day the other thing is you can

start focusing and reducing your stress

okay there’s certain nutrients you can

take your acupressure you can go for

long walks change your environment

increase more sleep that’s also gonna

help take more nutrients add more

exercise these are all things are gonna

speed things up and also look for other

body issues that you have that you can

improve for example if you have a

thyroid issue or a polycystic ovarian

syndrome or really bad cycles or

inflammatory conditions or constipation

fix the weak link okay and then that

will actually speed things up so this is

kind of my overall one chart

troubleshooter if you sort of speak to

kind of get an eyeball of what you might

be missing that you need to plug in to

achieve your goal all right
