hey guys I wanted to answer the question do women need more carbs on a keto and intimate fasting plan okay this is a common question a lot of women have because when they eat carbs they feel better so naturally they meet carbs right makes total logical sense because when they don’t do carbs they feel like crap let’s let’s let’s explain that when the blood Sugar’s drop down to low when you do in a minute fasting especially the first place for the body to notice it is in the brain why because the brain doesn’t store sugar it gets its fuel from the blood if there’s low sugar in the blood there’s going to be low sugar in the brain and the brain is going to suffer it’s gonna feel very funky you’re gonna get moody irritable and not feel very good brain fog memory issues all these symptoms okay and then you eat carbs and wow man you just feel so much better but but look what’s happening deeper you have a situation where your cells are resistant to insulin that means insolence not working that well okay that’s behind this blood sugar problem because what happens if insulin is not working it’s not being absorbed the cell send a signal back to the origin the pancreas saying you know what we’re not getting the message we’re not getting that hormone so then the pancreas makes a heck of a lot more the pancreas will make seven to five to seven times more insulin than it should ok so now we have a lot of insulin going on guess what that’s going to keep your blood Sugar’s this because insulin lowers blood sugar it’s gonna push it down even harder so we have a combination of high insulin and intermittent fasting it’s gonna crash those blood sugars you’re not going to feel very good but what you need to understand is what’s really happening okay we need to fix this because if you start adding more carbs this problem never goes away it continues why because what causes the resistance is high levels of insulin because you’re snacking or too frequently or you’re eating carbs carbs increase insulin see the problem so we want to get rid of this problem we don’t want to continue it so how do you do this correctly what you do is you heal insulin resistance by not adding carbs okay because you have it once you fully adapt to fat over here we want you to burn fat we don’t want you to run on the sugar thing anymore to burn fat takes time takes two to six weeks yeah to do that you have to add a lot of greens B vitamins and add fat to the meal to go longer but maybe you don’t want to do this too long maybe you want to do it kind of like three meals per Y I’ll get used to it and then down to two meals slowly okay so you don’t so your brain doesn’t have a problem let’s say for example that’s overwhelming and you can’t even do with that then instead of adding the carb what you could add is protein at least protein is better than a car okay because the protein will also make you feel better for other reasons I’m not going to get into but but not adding carbs so women don’t need more carbs on keto and then they’re fasting all they have to do is understand what’s happening do it more gradual okay do it correctly so we can eventually get rid of this because I’m telling you once you get into a full keto DAP tation you’re gonna feel incredible you’re gonna have a lot of endurance but it does take some time and patience that’s why we call you a patient right that’s what I’ll actually put you in a waiting room so you know I’m just kidding all right well thanks for watching hey tell me what you think about this video go ahead and comment below and give me your feedback
