so are you fine you’re getting water attention weight gain on keto this video is for you okay there’s several scenarios okay it could be that you’re low in vitamin b1 vitamin b1 deficiencies will create fluid retention in edema and your ankles actually little hold water so you just need more nutritional yeast okay next one low potassium okay so this is interesting because if you’re not consuming enough vegetables you’re not going to get enough potassium okay but if you’re consuming a lot of vegetables okay and you’re getting water retention it could be you can’t digest all that fiber it’s too much for the microorganisms that you have and there’s two types of fiber soluble and insoluble and both of these types will retain fluid and water and this is why sometimes when you eat a salad you’re thirsty I mean it’s kind of weird like there’s not a lot of salt and salad but you consume the cell and also now you have to drink a lot of water why is that because the fiber retains fluid and your body will just will get thirsty because it’s demanding that fluid to then bulk up to make the stool form and go through the system so fiber is a hidden source of fluid attention and let’s say you don’t have enough microbes to digest this fiber and you get constipated okay in fact that can even increase your weight by 3 4 even 5 pounds but it’s just water weight okay it’s just water it’s not fat so if you get bloated or constipated after introducing all this vegetable then you need to cut it back because you’re not ready to digest all those vegetables so cut it back to a small amount and start consuming that for a while and slowly build up so you can actually gain water retention by doing a low potassium diet by not consuming enough vegetables or by consuming too many vegetable so you’re gonna have to test out and see what is going to work for you if you can digest these vegetables in the fiber and you have enough microbes then that’s what you want to do but you might have to work up to it because we really want the potassium from the leafy greens big potassium pushes out the fluid okay so you could always take a potassium supplement as well or electrolyte with high in potassium if you’re doing a lot of salt and no potassium that’s another way that you can retain fluid and of course if you’re consuming too many hidden carbs because carbohydrates retain fluid a low carbohydrate diet gets rid of fluid but if you’re doing carbs you’re actually like a fluid-filled sponge you’re just retaining a ton of fluid okay so these are the factors you’re not going to gain actual fat on keto it’s just going to be mainly water light all right thanks for watching so we’ve been getting a lot of success stories but I don’t have your success story yet so click the link down below and upload you before-and-after I want to actually hear about your success story I want to see your before-and-afters and every week we do featured success stories so click the link down below and share your success
