i had a question from someone that wanted to know  why am i so tired when i do intermittent fasting so this video is on that topic now when you  originally start keto and you go from a high carb to a low carb there’s going to be a transition  period it’s called keto adaptation and some of the common symptoms are keto fatigue so  you’re not just going to be tired when you’re eating you’re going to be tired when you’re doing  intermittent fasting between the meals as well that could be just because you haven’t adapted  the fat and it could also be because your carbs aren’t low enough so if you keep your carbs a  little bit higher it’s going to be more difficult to adapt to fat because fat birding is all about  depriving your carbohydrates that’s what induces ketosis which is the byproduct of  burning fat also it does take some time to adapt to fat burning and it could  take anywhere between three days to a week sometimes even longer if you have  severe insulin resistance or diabetes so if you’ve just started keto give it more time make  sure your carbs are low number two more potassium you have billions and billions of these little  pumps called sodium potassium pumps that generate energy electrical current like a battery to  power your muscles and your nervous system and so if your diet does not have enough potassium  because you don’t like vegetables you’re not going to generate energy magnesium is also required to  make the energy currency in the body called atp and mainly you’re going to get it in leafy  greens big salads but the one that i want to emphasize is when you do keto sometimes you can be  b1 deficient let me explain when you do high carbs your body requires a tremendous amount of b1 the  more carbohydrate you consume the more b1 you need and if you’re not getting enough b1 you’re going  to be deficient but when you switch over to keto you’re typically not going to need as much  b1 as you did doing high carb however you’re still going to need b1 and if you are doing  higher amounts of fat that are not necessarily mixed with protein for example let’s say you’re  adding mct oil or butter or keto bombs or coconut oil where you’re having these fats out of the  normal complex realize that fat does not contain b1 and so as you’re metabolizing that you  need b1 to metabolize it and break it down it could be drawing from your reserves so if you  are doing a good amount of fat without the b1 that can create more of a b1 deficiency or at  least aggravate that deficiency and give you some of the b1 symptoms which are fatigue  and nervousness and the inability to relax like you’re feeling stressed now there’s several  other things that people do when they start a ketogenic diet they tend to drink more coffee  and sometimes tea both of these will deplete b1 and that could end up making you tired if  you’re doing keto and you’re doing wine i know certain programs are okay with you doing the keto  friendly wine in my program i don’t recommend it but if you’re doing wine wine has two things  one is alcohol and the other is sulphites as a preservative both of those items will deplete  you of b1 also if you eat just all cooked foods that’s going to deplete your b1 as well  so that’s why i recommend a good amount of raw vegetables things like that now raw fish like  in sushi could also create a b1 deficiency and let’s say you’re also a diabetic and you’re trying  keto and you’re still in metformin metformin also depletes b1 big time this is one of the reasons  why um people that are on metformin could have a serious side effect called lactic acidosis that’s  a b1 deficiency so anyway if you are tired on keto these are the three things that are going on  don’t forget about b1 i would always recommend taking b1 in the form of nutritional yeast 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 u. s  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
