okay let’s talk about juicing while you’re doing keto or while you’re doing fasting is it okay is it not okay now if you’re doing keto or intermittent fasting you’re just not seeing results that you would like or you have some type of problem with that let’s say for example you just have cravings like crazy well then we have to evaluate what you are eating during the fast and what you’re eating when you’re doing keto so typically when you fast you shouldn’t be eating anything except you’re drinking water but i recommend doing supplements i don’t recommend doing any juice at all on occasion if you’re doing a prolonged fast i think it’s okay to do the whole vegetable let’s say you’re doing celery or maybe even kale because you’re having the fiber but not necessarily just the juice because the phytonutrients in these vegetables can actually help enhance the benefit of your intermittent fasting but when it comes down to juicing here’s a couple things you need to know let’s say for example you were to juice celery and i’m going to take one cup for each one of these now if you’re from some european country like germany for example and you are not using cups as your measurements you’re going to have to look them up and specifically i’m talking to the gentleman named dennis who asks who brought up the point i should have my own conversion tables but in this video you’re going to have to do your own conversions dennis okay all right so take a look at this celery one cup 3. 5 grams of carbs okay so now we have carrots 9. 5 grams of carbs and then kale 6. 7 grams of carbs so you can see carrots have the most carbs now you’re not consuming the fiber so you can’t deduct the fiber from the total carbs let me explain what i’m talking about normally what you would do if you were going to consume celery or carrot or kale is you take the total carb and minus the fiber because even though the fiber is a carb you don’t count it into your calculations you deduct it and you get the net carb and this is the figure that you’re looking at if you’re consuming the fiber with it the whole thing but because we’re juicing we don’t get to calculate in this fiber part right here we don’t get to minus it so if we take a look at the celery which is pretty low and carrot is pretty high 9. 5 grams of carbs but realize we’re taking a cup of carrots and we’re juicing it which we’re going to get a lot less than that cup probably just going to get a small amount because we’re going to take all the fiber away from it so but i’m just using this as a kind of a standard example so if you’re going to juice you’re probably going to get more than 9.

5 grams but the point is that i wanted to show you the difference between these net carbs if you consume the whole thing look at that 1. 9 grams it’s pretty low this is totally fine carrot six grams it’s a little too high and then kale which is surprising you would think it would have a lot more fiber it doesn’t that would give you a 5. 4 grams net carb so the carbs and kale you know are are not zero so here’s the point that i’m trying to make i might be confusing people you don’t want to do juicing unless you’re doing some type of juice powder concentrate or some type of green juice that doesn’t have these other vegetables that are a little too high celery juice is is a really good one to look at you’re going to have to look through different vegetables to find which one would give you the least amount of carbs if you’re going to do the juice but i don’t recommend doing the juice while you’re fasting but as a part of your meal i think that would be fine unless you do the calculations and it comes down to a very very small amount i wouldn’t recommend it you may not get into full ketosis if you’re doing it each day and you may start craving carbs so anytime someone is doing fasting or keto and they’re still craving i always look at what they’re eating when they’re fasting and what they’re eating when they stop fasting and we really look at all the potential areas that you might have carbs and this is a hidden area that could keep you from fully getting the benefits of keto to the point where you you’re just going to crave and then what’s going to happen is you’re going to go off the program eat carbs and then start again and do the whole cycle back and forth so if you wanted to get rid of the cravings and completely do this right get rid of the juicing okay and you can also take inositol inositol is a type of b vitamin which is a sugar alcohol your body makes it so it’s natural and it has some really interesting effects it’s really good for your blood sugars and addressing insulin resistance in fact there’s certain studies that show that it can work almost the same as metformin which is for type 2 diabetes so it helps to improve that insulin resistance situation and anything that’s connected to that which is cravings to carbohydrates it can also increase your serotonin which if you have a serotonin deficiency you might feel stressed and craving carbs so serotonin as a hormone can help you reduce cravings to carbs so you could take some of this each day and also if they come in the tablet you can suck on them because they’re actually sweet but they’re not sugar i used to do this in my practice a lot when someone craved carbs i would have them take this and then through the day just suck on them and it gave them the feeling that they were eating sugar but they weren’t eating sugar and it really helped them in other ways one last point when you consume food and you’re not satisfied and you still have the need to eat after you eat it could be that you need bile salts in which case you can get them take them with the meal and you’ll extract more of the fatty acids from that food to signal the brain to completely turn off the appetite and feel like you’re satisfied because if you’re deficient in bile salts and that fat is not being fully digested and absorbed that could be another reason why you keep craving things all right thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
