I found a lot of advantages here 🧡
Dr Berg any Keto Summit on the horizon? We were at your 2019 Summit, guy with the ALS, wheelchair
💛😱❤️🙏🏼😇
I use enemas during the keto diet to prevent the keto flu symptoms. For me this routine works the best and is a LIFESAVER!
👍
Fun fact: kiwis contain more potassium than bananas
You can order potassium powder and just mix it with salt in your drink. and you’ll keep your strength through fasting
Kiwis are also amazing for many reasons including being good for blood clots.
@calholli can i use cream of tartar as potassium substitute?
No we dont
Neither can be consumed on a keto diet.
But eventually it will come back the muscle mass ?
You don’t actually lose muscle mass.. You’re just losing water weight; just keep going and you’ll lose fat very quickly and melt away. The muscle is the very last thing to go; as long as you have fat to burn, you won’t burn muscle.
@calhollithat is true on keto you won’t lose muscle, but you can definitely lose it off keto.
@Jordan Well I’ve done 6 day fasts and lost 22lbs and literally gained 5 lbs of bench in that same week. so I don’t’ understand this loss of muscle mass theory. If you’re obese and have plenty of fat and you’re 250 lbs.. You’re not going to lose muscle mass. Our bodies store fat for a reason and it knows how to use it when there’s plenty of excess.
Well I was a pretty big storage unit. Not missing the fat at all. Thank you sir.
It’s not potassium. Keto sheds water.
Wasting….!🌞
Good information 🎉❤
Thanks much!
I must be doing something right then because if anything I feel more muscular. 1 to 2 tsp of mineral salt people. Maca root gives loads of potassium. The rest I get from other sources of food. No keto flu, no muscle cramps, I’m sleeping well and I’m always in a good mood thanks to the nutritional yeast.
I buy the beats with the greens on it and put the greens in the freezer if I don’t use them right away, and then I take them out of the freezer and I don’t thaw them out. I just saute them in a little olive oil and butter they are delicious 😋 and extremely high in potassium 🎉❤🎉
Keto diet is….
So to gain back the muscle through an increase in glycogen stores, i need to increase potassium intake?
I know the liver can produce glucose when required, and I’m very well hydrated.
I feel I’m too lean (~56kg) and need to gain muscle, but it keeps getting flat too easily after frequent strength training.
I’m now even eating wild / black rice on average once a day to increase carb intake with low GI/GL index values.
Hey Dr Eric
Really nice video. Btw I was wondering if you need help with edit on your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.
Or Youtube management ?
Dr. Best way to lose weight is a balance diet and exercise. Drinking lot of water and less sugar and alcohol
Thanks for explaining my flat butt!! I need to get to the gym more I know, but I thought it was just aging and that the fat was hiding it. I actually got too thin and listless when I was trying to go carnivore. I never even succeeded in getting off fruit, let alone some veggies, but I suddenly dropped 3 extra pounds and felt awful. I added some gluten free grains just to get those 3 lb back. I have celiac and I guess I still don’t absorb like a normal person.
