so is your appetite going away you’re

not hunger anymore and you’re on keto

you’re doing in a minute fasting but you

feel weak this video is for you one of

the best indicators to know that you’re

in ketosis is the hunger goes away you

lose your appetite but at the same time

you should have energy so if you feel

weak or tired its most likely related to

nutrient deficiencies now relating to

weakness it could be three different

things you could have muscle weakness

which could be a deficiency of vitamin E

okay in which case you need to consume

maybe some seeds nuts leafy greens or

even take vitamin E but make sure if

you’re taking vitamin E it’s the whole

complex so you want the Dakar oils and

the tocotrienols okay together in a

complex you don’t want to get synthetic

alpha tocopheryl for example also it

could be low sodium okay because you

need more sea salt when you do keto and

in a minute fasting and the low sodium

is probably more common than vitamin E

so don’t forget to take more salt at

least one teaspoon per day you just salt

your food and that should do it you can

even get sea salt tablets take them as

well and that should handle the weakness

and the muscle now if you have brain fog

most likely there’s an insulin

resistance problem and it’s taking a

while for your body to adapt to ketosis

especially if you’re a diabetic or a

pre-diabetic a lot of people have

insulin resistance and it really messes

up the brain and it takes a while for a

person to adapt in which case you can

speed up the process by giving the brain

ketones there could be a situation in

the blood-brain barrier in which you

have insulin resistance so what

determines how much ketone feeds the

brain is how much ketone is in your

blood so if you’re having a transition

period that’s taking a bit too long you

could just take some MCT oil to get pure

keytones right up to the brain real fast

and handle the brain fog because the

machinery is already in place you just

need to bump up to ketones

and then over time as your body adapts

to ketosis because you’re you’re getting

rid of this and an insulin resistance

you will need less and less of it over

time now vitamin D will also help brain

fog as well there’s certain parts of the

brain that need vitamin D and if you’re

deficient it can create brain fog as

well as insomnia then we get to just

fatigue overall fatigue that is usually

going to boil down to a vitamin b1

deficiency or a b5 deficiency now if

you’re watching my videos or reading my

books

you already know nutritional yeast is

probably the best source of your B

vitamins and you can just take some and

that will help you another cause of a

Teague would be low potassium you need

potassium to generate energy now you

could also need magnesium as well

because magnesium actually will help

increase the ATP in the mitochondria

which is energy factory but the

electrolytes in general specifically

potassium and sometimes magnesium will

help energy and this could be because

you just don’t take electrolyte so

you’re not consuming enough vegetable

okay so this is why you might be weak

now there’s another situation let’s say

you’re not in ketosis okay you’re not

doing it correct but you’re trying to do

it

but you’re not even in ketosis you

haven’t used the urine testing strips to

see if you’re in ketosis or even the

blood test so a loss of appetite by

itself could be a symptom of several

things so it could be a negative thing

especially if you’re not in ketosis

it could be a magnesium deficiency b12

deficiency

iron deficiency vitamin D deficiency or

an infection usually viral in nature so

a simple way to differentiate is just to

get a test to see if you’re in ketosis

and if you’re not maybe you want to

check some of these things right here

but definitely isolate which problem you

have and address it based on these right
