hi guys I want to do a video on ketosis after cheat day well first of all I want to know whoever said you could actually cheat on the program anyway I don’t know who made that up I mean ketosis after cheat day is very is equivalent to marriage after a cheat day you you might end up with some problems right because what happens is it took you two to six weeks to get into ketosis because your cells have to adapt your uh enzymes have to adapt and you’re going along and s you have a cheat day well you think you can just like a switch and pop it right back well if it took 2 weeks to get into ketosis how many how much time you think it’s going to take to get back into it after you cheat it could take anywhere between 48 to 72 hours if you’re lucky but sometimes up to a week yeah I’m sorry to tell you that and so there’s some variables I want to talk about um if you’re 23 years old and you’re a guy and you’re fairly thin you could probably flip back and forth with no problem but if you’re or sixy old female that has Ben in diets it’s going to be a situation because the metabolism is still not repaired so in other words if you cheat just realize it’s going to take a long time to get you back into where you started from now sometimes people will when I evaluate them I find out they haven’t gone back to the original eating plan it’s somewhat of a modified ketogenic diet where they’re each day they’re eating a little bit of the wrong food well they’ll never get back into ketogenic uh ketosis because the whole Hallmark of ketosis is low carbs really low carbs okay so the variables are metabolism so that’s going to predict how fast you can get back into ketosis if your metabolism is good you could probably get back to and fast also your age that’s important and how long you’ve been in ketosis if you’ve done this for several years your system is finally efficient where you could probably switch back and do it pretty easy but if you’ve done this you started last month and you you lived your whole life on sugar it could bump you uh way out of ketosis and I keep getting this question you know I had my cheat day and it’s I’m not back in the ketosis and it’s been a week I said well you’re not quite there yet so and I don’t know who gave you authorization to cheat anyway but I never did uh so and then how well you’re sticking to ketosis when you’re doing it and then how much you cheat so if you’re cheating a whole day versus let’s say one meal that could be a variable as well so I just wanted to point I out that I think your cheat should be a healthy uh pleasure food that you can actually make with these recipes I’ll put some links below like you have the keto boms you can do with chocolate you can do with almond flour and really enjoy that but if you’re going to just carb out um that could be a problem and just have the expectation that it’s going to take some time to get back all right thanks for watching
