hey guys I’m back and today we’re gonna talk about what to do if you’re losing hair when you’re doing keto and in a minute fasting okay well most of the time if you’re doing intermittent fasting in keto you’re gonna get your hair back it’s gonna grow more but if it doesn’t this is what you need to look at calories okay if you’re not consuming enough calories if you’re going on a low-calorie diet just not consuming enough you just somehow decided that you’re gonna do this with a small real small amount of food and you’re not going to have the basic nutrients to feed the proteins of the body and the nutrients that help support the proteins that’s going to also affect the thyroid gland and you could lose your hair so what you want to do is we want to make sure when you start including intermittent fasting your three meals and then your two meals okay and then you’re at one meal that you have enough food that has enough nutrients in it you want to consume nutrient-dense foods but make sure it’s bigger okay but the first nutrient you want to make sure you have enough of is protein if you’re consuming not enough protein that’s probably why you’re losing hair so if you’re doing three houses per meal then go up to 4 to 5 ounces and see if that doesn’t just handle it ok a lot of times when people start doing this their hunger goes away and so they just hardly eat they just barely eat anything and what’s going to happen is like they may start showing signs of nutrition deficiency and they have the situation where they’re just not hungry and you know you’ve watched one of my videos where I talked about don’t eat if you’re not hungry but what I want to clarify about that is that at some point in the day you’re going to have to consume some nutrients right and just increase the amount of food that you consume and make sure it had fulfills your nutrient requirement because the key thing is we want to make sure we’re not never doing a low calorie diet and the definition of that is not consuming enough calories to meet our nutritional needs so especially if you’re doing foods that are not nutrient-dense you’re going to be in trouble with that so if you start showing signs of hair loss and nail brittleness that we know and fatigue so those are really good indicators hair nails energy level are really good indicators to know that you’re getting your nutrients or not okay from your food the other thing is that when you do go through what’s called key to adaptation and you’re adapting the fad you need more of certain nutrients you need B vitamins and minerals especially potassium so if you’re not consuming those extra added supplements and you’re not consuming seven to ten cups of vegetables and you’re not consuming nutritional yeast but your body demands more of these nutrients to make the new cellular machinery that could be why you’re losing your hair so add some nutritional yeast and minerals electrolyte powder and trace minerals which is are very very important trace manners are minerals that are needed in very small amounts that help proteins form in the body so this is a very vital thing to help your hair nails collagen okay the other thing I want to mention is that your stomach acid if you have low stomach acid and you’re not able to digest the protein that could be one reason why it’s not ending up in your hair and the way that you would know if you have low stomach acids is you would have heartburn indigestion bloating and gas okay so if you have that then you need to increase more acid by apple cider vinegar you can get them in tablets or attain how to chloride or the combination of both those two work really really good so again we if you’re doing more protein you know beefed up the protein no pun intended a good formula B would be between 0. 36 grams 2. 7 grams times your body weight so if you weigh 180 pounds you would times five point three seven and that would be the very minimum that you would want to consume and then you would want to go up to 0. 7 but again I’m giving you the once’s right here because time’s the Grahams are confusing especially if you’re trying to measure the food in grams because you don’t want to calculate let’s say for example you have chicken or fish or an egg you’re not looking for the total grams of that food you’re looking for the grams of protein in that meat or animal product or product itself not that total grams big confusion in other words the grams of beef for example in protein are a lot less than the total grams of when it weighs because you have the fat in there you have the water in there which is quite a large amount of so any of the collagen and some other things too all right okay so I hope that helped and thanks for watching hey guys a lot
