all right i’m back to answer another question  someone wanted to know why am i hungry in the  

morning while i’m on keto and doing intermittent  fasting i have done another video on this but  

sometimes it’s hard to find so i’m just going to  create a video on this topic and just cover all  

the different pieces of this puzzle there’s really  three reasons why you are hungry in the morning if  

you’re doing keto and intermittent fasting the  first one involves a hormone called cortisol  

so about eight o’clock in the morning and this  could actually happen at six o’clock in the  

morning up to ten so during that period of time  what happens you have a spike in cortisol cortisol  

or another name for cortisol is glucocorticoids  because it affects glucose one of the functions  

of cortisol which is made by your adrenals is to  release glucose from your stored sugar glycogen  

now in the morning if it’s going to release sugar  from your liver you’re going to get a little spike  

of sugar and then your insulin is going to come  in and bring your sugar down so when it comes down  

you’re going to be hungry now i want to just  differentiate between being hungry and having  

hypoglycemia if you’re hungry and you still feel  fine you still are strong you’re not moody you’re  

not dizzy then just ignore this symptom and just  push through it because it’s only going to last  

maybe 10 minutes 15 minutes and it’s going to go  away now the correct indication of when you should  

start eating after fasting is when you’re truly  hungry and you’re feeling weak or irritable  

and dizzy i mean you should definitely  eat you don’t want to push through that  

but if it’s some slight stomach hunger or  grumbling in your stomach just ignore that  

push through that that’s usually temporary and  usually this hunger in the morning usually occurs  

in the very beginning stages of doing ketosis and  intermittent fasting all right number two and this  

is very common the reason why you’re hungry  in the morning is what you ate the day before  

especially if it’s the night before now two things  either you ate too many carbs the night before  

or you had some snacks either right before  bed or sometime in the middle of the day and  

it could have been some healthy snacks but you’re  again you’re spiking insulin because you ain’t  

so both of those actions will spike insulin to  some degree and then create a situation where  

your blood sugars come down and you’re  mainly going to feel it the next day  

either in cravings for carbs or being hungry  and this definitely can occur when you consume  

wine the night before so just realize  that it’s not that it’s not working  

you just have to push through this and be more  consistent today so tomorrow the cravings go away  

the biggest indication to know that you’re doing  this correctly is that you have no more hunger and  

you’re not craving anything so that’s like a very  important thing all right let’s go to number three  

this is simply you haven’t done the program long  enough sometimes it takes three days to really  

get into ketosis sometimes it’s five and for some  people it could be several weeks before you really  

truly adapt and get into ketosis and your  body is very efficient at burning fat a  

couple things you can do to make this transition  more smooth is to increase more fat at the meal  

increase apple cider vinegar in water before the  meal one tablespoon and water before the each meal  

and to increase your veggies so you get more  potassium and magnesium and fiber all three  

of those things will help stabilize your blood  sugars so your hunger goes away but the most  

important thing you need to know is that you don’t  want to eat unless you’re hungry so if you’re not  

hungry in the morning even though it might be a  habit to eat skip it and go as long as you can  

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth
