so i wanted to create this video just to  talk about how much water you should drink  

i had some previous videos that talked  about only drinking when you’re thirsty and  

that could be like one cup a day but when  you’re fasting you need to be drinking  

more water than when you’re not fasting and  the reason for that is that you’re losing  

a good amount of your glycogen especially if  you’re fasting over a period of time you’re  

doing prolonged fasting 48 72 hours you’re going  to lose your glycogen and with the glycogen loss  

which is your stored sugar you’re also going to  lose a ton of fluid and i say fluid because it’s  

not just water it’s a combination of water and  electrolytes and salts so you need to put that  

back so the amount of water that i’m going to  recommend is between two to three liters a day  

and this will also prevent kidney stones because  the cause of kidney stones is a super saturated  

urine that then you start forming this crystal out  of calcium oxalate stones but if you have enough  

fluid they won’t get that concentrated so two to  three liters of water is 8 to 12 cups of water  

so i recommend putting in electrolytes and sea  salt don’t forget the sea salt a lot of times  

people forget that and they wonder why they’re  tired you need both a good amount of potassium  

and magnesium and sea salt to prevent keto  fatigue keto flu and overall weakness now a  

lot of people are doing my electrolytes it has a  thousand milligrams of potassium and if they do  

my electrolytes without adding sea salt they  might end up with a salt deficiency and feel  

weaker so one thing i do in the morning  is i’ll take about a liter of water  

i’ll take all my supplements i’ll add a scoop  of this and i will also add some more sea salt  

probably 1/8 of a teaspoon i will dissolve it  in there now the reason why i formulated this  

with high amounts of potassium magnesium and just  a little bit of calcium with a very low amount of  

salt is because the average person starting keto  is very heavy on sodium very low in potassium so  

it helps to rebalance them but as you start doing  keto when you start eating healthy you just don’t  

want to forget about the sea salt and i do have a  sport electrolyte for more salt but the point is  

when you do fasting and keto you need to keep your  potassium and magnesium high as well as your sea  

salts and sea salts are really an electrolyte too  but i want to make a point about that because most  

people do not add enough sea salt you need between  one to one and a half teaspoons every single day  

if you work out you need a lot more so it  really depends on yours how much you sweat  

i also add a greens powder the wheatgrass juice  powder one scoop in that drink simply because  

when you’re doing fasting you  are going to become more acidic  

you’re going to be in more deeper ketosis and  the green powder tends to be more alkaline and  

offset that acidity and this is especially  important if someone’s prone to have  

gout because your uric acid levels will  go up acting as an antioxidant when you do  

fasting hey before you go real quick i have a  course entitled how to bulletproof your immune  

system it’s a free course i want you to take it  and here’s why here’s you here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over  here avoiding your environment but  

what about here what about strengthening  your immune system that’s what’s missing
