I wanted to create a short video to talk about the association between fasting and your appetite and your nutrient levels now as soon as people start doing fascinating their appetite goes away they feel better less inflammation better energy cognitive function and the real big focus that everyone has their attention on is weight loss the more weight they lose the healthier they think they are but just realize that when you lose weight that’s just one part of getting healthy so what happens is you cut you down your carbs you go on a fast you’re no longer burning up all your stored sugar you’re actually tapping in your fat so you’re running on your fat fuel and because of that your appetite is gone right so you work your way up to one meal a day and this goes on for months and months and months until you achieve your goal now what I noticed with some people is they start dropping out the healthy version of keto they start pretty much eating whatever they want on that one meal a day the problem with that is they could potentially start developing nutritional deficiencies not right away but down the road now depending on what nutrient deficiency we’re talking about it could take longer or shorter for example b12 could be stored up to a year so that might not show up right away depending on how much you have in reserve the B vitamins for example like be one even potassium doesn’t get stored for very long so you can run out of those real fast so if you’re feeling great when you start this and then down the road you’re getting tired dizzy week you don’t have any endurance you have hair loss maybe your nails are become brittle or you start getting mood changes or even cognitive issues suspect that you may have a nutrient deficiency despite losing weight and having no appetite so the main point on this video is I just want to put your attention on this when you do fasting make sure that you do that healthy version of keto ensure that that meal that you do consume is really nutrient-dense whether it’s one mil a day or two per day or one every other day and I would highly recommend also enhancing your food with additional supplements because it’s really difficult to get your nutrients even with three meals a day now it is true that when you go on one meal a day the requirements go down however just to make sure I would recommend that you’re supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids unless you’re doing salmon and fatty fish maybe every other day also you want to make sure you get enough protein if you’re doing one meal a day that might end up minimally eight ounces maybe up to ten ounces maybe even more depending on your age if you’re an athlete and how you feel some people just need more protein also there’s a lot of people doing keto they’re not doing enough vegetables so that’s the case you better be taking minerals trace minerals vitamin C and maybe even some folic acid but the best thing to do is to beef up your vegetables no pun intended vitamin E is also found in vegetables and nuts some people especially women if they’re past menopause definitely need more vitamin E to help them with the transition and also to minimize side effects like hot flashes for example if you’re going to do about them in e make sure you find one that doesn’t just have to cough rawls but it also has tocotrienols which is the other part of the vitamin E complex and vitamin D is almost impossible to get in your diet nowadays so I would highly recommend taking that as an additional supplement alright so I just wanted to bring up this point that over a period of time if you start feeling any of these symptoms right here it could be a nutrient deficiency and despite losing weight and having no appetite there’s still issues but I will say that if you’re low on vitamin b12 or low in vitamin d3 that alone could actually also create a lack of appetite but usually if you’re doing animal products you’re not going to have a problem with b12 but vitamin D is definitely a common problem for a lot of people especially if they don’t get enough Sun and also in the winter all right there you have thank you for watching so if you want more knowledge on how to create a healthy body subscribe now and get daily notifications
