hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk about why you may feel irritable on keto okay so there’s two situations that occur in the very beginning part as you’re adapting you can feel pretty funky because you’re going through this thing called keto adaptation you’re going you’re building new enzymes new cellular machinery so you can now burn fat okay so in the transition phase you can feel kind of funky especially if you’re low on B vitamins and low on potassium and low on sea salt and definitely low on vegetables so you want to start increasing these nutritional yeast electrolyte powder that should actually clear that up but let’s say you’re doing this a while and you still feel irritable a couple things that are happening either your blood sugars are low in which case you want to make sure that you have enough fat with the meal and you have enough greens salads and you have a moderate amount of protein so your body can heal the insulin resistance and go from one meal to the next because this could be coming from the higher levels of insulin as you’re doing this you should improve insulin resistance that you get better but there’s a couple reasons why it won’t you’re doing this incorrectly you’re not having the right food you’re not doing intermittent fasting at the exact same time you’re doing multiple meals or you’re doing intermittent fasting without keto so intermittent fasting and keto have to be done together because both of those tools or actions lower insulin and once you lower insulin you will heal insulin resistance and this will go away but because the brain doesn’t have stored sugar and all that store sugar is in the liver and then it also goes up into the blood it depends for its sugar on the blood so if the blood sugar goes low boy you’re gonna feel irritable funky not good so we don’t want to eat more sugar we want to get the fat to be converted to ketones so if you’re doing this with too many carbs and you’re not doing it 100% you’re kind of doing it half way you’re gonna feel really irritable to the whole process because you’re never going to adapt to keep tones you’re gonna try to do in a minute fasting without ever using ketones so between the meals you’re gonna just feel terrible so realize to get into ketosis you must drop your carbs below 20 30 40 50 grams preferably below 20 and that will really speed things up and make you feel a lot better but it’s not just about running about in ketones it’s about getting healthy so you really have to make sure you get enough nutrients and eat the high quality food so the other point that’s really important is to be very very consistent if you’re doing keto an enema fasting every so often or not consistently you’ll never fully adapt into ketosis it takes a period of time to get in here but it’s very easy to go back to running on sugars just by the way you do that is to start eating carbs boom your auto ketosis so that’s why people are feeling irritable but if you do the combination do it correctly you should feel euphoric you should feel really really good alright thanks for watching now I always love getting feedback from you on these videos so comment below and tell me what you think
