Thomas i want to ask something ,before 2 months i was 106 kg . I do calorice deficit diet and go to gym 93 kg ,before 7 days i start intermittent fasting i go 91 kg but i notice my heartbeat in this 2 months drop from 65-75 to 48-55 on relax time ,its normal?or i need a doctor

I’m doing if low carb for about 7 months and man my energy is always full!!! Everyone ask me aren’t you tired ?? I’m like no I can stay busy all day and not tired I love the lifestyle
Your videos have changed my life, having Crohn's disease I thought I was just going to be in pain the rest of my life but now all symptoms have nearly disappeared, I haven't felt this good in 25 years, thank you so much!
Me too! Started keto years ago and lost 140lbs lbs felt good, but after Thomas's videos, I feel great. Inflammation is down so much and pain too. Migraines, fibromyalgia, sciatic pain, arthritis and more. It is truly amazing!
That's interesting, I've heard Crohn's goes with the carnivore diet which naturally is a keto diet, I'm assuming you're doing a more typical keto diet and having similar results - great!
Thanks Thomas! I needed this video. I have been on Keto & following you since Apr. 2021. I have lost 40# dropping to 200# over this time. but recently the loss has slowed and I have plateaued at 1-2 pounds a week loss. Still good but not great. More important than the loss I have reversed type 2 diabetes and avoided medication. I was becoming frustrated with myself for the slowing of loss. But after listening to you this morning I have recognized some lapses in behavior I shall correct and feel I can get the loss moving again at a few more pounds a week. But a lot of what you say did make good sense and I appreciate your ongoing advice and videos. And I appreciate you not taking the information to a pay for platform.
If you are extra obese, there may be some interference to fat burning which may be caused by the obese status. To me it seemed like once I got going to a certain point, it clicked in. It required patience, persistence and pragmatism. It took a little longer than I wanted it to but when it did, I started losing weight past any point I ever previously achieved.

Thank you for this video, Thomas. This helps explain the waves of hunger I experience frequently. Since mid-February my diet is a combo of keto/low carb/no carb/high fat and no snacking - lost 31 pounds and feel good. Financially going to to gym isn't an option. I run a dog sanctuary and care for 92 dogs - so they keep me active from morning till night. I'll definitely try more Macha tea with fingers crossed the hunger pangs subside. Thanks, Thomas.
If you're looking to curb hunger if it keeps coming up I suggest drinks with stevia in them, it's a fantastic appetite suppressant. I'll have decaf coffee with tons of heavy cream and stevia next thing I know I feel full.
Thomas you are my keto guru!!!! You have opened my world so much and have really helped me achieve being the best healthy version of myself! All the science you break down in normal person terms, has really done so much for me and how I look at my body. Keep making these amazing videos and thank you for giving us information that actually resignates! I have been off and on keto since 2018, done so much research and never felt like I was getting it from a solid source...until i found you. Thanks Thomas!
My average glucose is 84 and ketones 0.5. Ending week 4. Main benefit has been reduced anxiety. Not much weight loss. Very fatigued and low energy. Very hungry, seems like my body is craving more beneficial fats and the higher nutrition keto is providing. I’m overweight at 173 lbs, 5’6, 51 yrs old. Most of it from Covid gym closure, I was 150 lbs prior to Covid, got to 160 lbs working out last summer but then fell off exercise. Green tea and Yerba mate do help curb appetite. To follow your advice, I will add more cruciferous veggies busy work day got in the way of that and my main meals were eggs +yeast for one meal and grass fed beef franks with mustard and sauerkraut for the other meal. Avocado and meat stick for snacks. Is fat adapted more common at 3 months or 2 months for most people?? Thx for all your work!😊
I'm 48 hours into a 72 hour fast. Feeling really good right now. Been mostly keto/low carb for 2 years, with at least an 18 hour fasting window most days, with only 2 meals. I have to do 3 day fasts to get into ketosis.I so often have that tired n hungry feelin...not sure if it's really hunger or craving. Hope my body gets better at adapting! I'm 5'10'' and 160 lbs...skinny fat.
I have the same problem. I think I may have fasted too much in the past as I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago and was fully fat adapted for at least 9 months. I fell off the wagon for a few years and now I’m loosing weight but it takes me minimum 2-3 days to get into ketosis. My problem is I do max 5 day fasts at a time or minimum 18 hour daily fasts, so I’m always kicking myself out of ketosis and then have to start the journey again. I actually drink green tea and play a lot of soccer, so it’s quite confusing to me why I can’t get fat adapted again.
@@cmead010 Still. Wouldn't the weight loss be the main thing here? I never measure them so I just assume it works but as long as I am going down I am happy :). Lauer, Ekberg and Berg have helped me a lot with that.
Dear Thomas, I watch you constantly and am more confused with each video. Am I fat adapted? Am I in ketosis? Am I insulin resistant? Am I fasting too much, too little? Am I getting enough nutrients? Is it ok that I eat my vegetables raw? Do I eat too much dairy? Where can I go to get these questions answered?
this is really helpful i started at 297.4 feb 1st of this year and just hit my first 41.2 lbs of weight loss which is 25% of my loss goal ish of 167 lbs ish all the ish is i am leaving final goals open for muscle gain and those variables
@@thakraken6995i don't know what you're getting at, but I'm gonna keep on watching his videos, and you can't tell me that what he says hasn't changed my diet for the better because it has. At the end you believe whatever you want to believe if you want to disagree or whatsoever i understand it. Just like they say "one side does not fit all"...
@@marcusmaunula5018 I listen to a few people and I take whatever I believe is the best for me... Thanks to that my diet has matured to the point that i still don't believe that reaching this level was possible for me to be honest...
I've been on this train for ever🤦♀️ I just can't seem to get it right.... One of these days I'll get it😂 another amazing video as always, Thomas... I don't comment much but I'm one of your number 1 fans... If you can have more then 1 😂😂😂
We are all unique so it's just possible that you need to adapt it to your needs. Lauer gives the general guidelines. Just be patient, it will work out. By dropping junk food and eating better you have already won :).

Thank you ! I actually tried the green tea, and the hunger went away. I was going crazy , just ate 300g ground beef and ruccola and was hungrier than before. The green tea calmed the hunger down. thanks ♥
Very true. It took me about 2 weeks to feel full. Now, I get VERY full and I can't eat all the food I make. I have no sugar cravings nor do I want to snack at night.
@@AlotofStuffChannel Yes. No yogurt yet. But yes to butters, cream cheese, cheeses, eggs. Heavy whipping cream is my Friday treat in my morning -drive coffee. I usually use butter, coconut oil and coconut milk in my coffee. There are probably other dairy products I consume but I can't think of them all at the moment.
I went to the caribbean for a month and lived on rum, jerk anything and Rice and peas. Getting re-adapted is taking a while. Never new I could store up so much sugar.
Thank you for these tips. I did experience that ravenous hunger. It is something I have dealt with for most of my life. I found that drinking Aloe Vera juice (pure, unadulterated) and putting tumeric in the pink sea salt blend I make to season my food helped allot with the pangs. Not sure if they helped at all with the whole Fat adaptive thing, but at the time; I was just trying to get over the pangs. But I'll incorporate these timps into my regimen.
I was getting so exhausted that I felt faint. Then I stumbled on some of Thomas' videos about electrolytes. I started taking magnesium malate supplements (MagSRT from Jigsaw) and adding a pinch of Redmond Real Salt and 1/8 teaspoon of potassium chloride to my water. Within 4 days the fatigue was starting to improve.
I meant boost..but any way I have been following both THOMAS and Berg but yes like that comment .We must check here and there something is missing or should be increased.potassium ,magnesium, vitamin D3/K2, salt,berberine and choline ,specially that because it remove fat,adrenal control so our energy is well spread up in the Morning and reducing to induce sleep desires. Taking ginger,cinnamon, and lavender, get help sleep better because it can help to burn fat as you sleep. I work hard on all those things.
You mentioned Dr. Berg. Well I take his electrolytes which are high in potassium and I got some of the LMNT from Thomas' previous video and I combine the two into a larger volume and keep that handy. That fixed my energy problems in general. Previously I ate all the time. Now I do OMAD and I find the Mg, K and Na boost is very helpful.
Er... sounds like eating fermented foods is the solution. As for tea, sounds like an ingredient for breaking grease... so vinegar can do, right? Like ACV. Or any range of tea.
I'm opposite - can i get fat adapted too fast (2-3days)?. 120kg (265 pounds) and after eating full day of meat onlydishes i've decided to try keto (first diet in my life). After constantly eating snacks, potato chips, pizzas - all junk food and sweet things + sodas 24/7 (+ tons of sweet fruits) i've went 2days meat (i know u need a balanced diet- thats how i got into keto). Third day instead of feeling constant hunger when i saw a cookie i felt nothing, same as if i was looking at book or other item. Instantly went to I-fasting cause i wasn't hungry most of time, doing 16h:8h split. Im 4rd week on Keto, adapted most of healthy guidelines (high q meats, fishes, tons of vegies some berries and alot of different seeds). Thing is: it still looks too easy, 10-15 years of eating junk food and sweets and gaining like 40kg (i was slim for like 25years, eating home made foods and meat/fruits from own village plantation). 10-15y of constant cravings, having easy access to instant available in a city carb junk food, eating from morning to midnight - and after 2-3 days keto, i dont ever feel really hungry and when i look at pizza or freshly baked cake i feel 0 cravings. Also didnt have any low mood/energy or any problems. Woke up 3rd day with no carbs and was feeling full of energy all day.
A glucose monitor and testing 1 hr after every meal will help people find the triggers that spike their blood sugar (everyone is different). For me it was “sugar free” popsicles before bed that actually have maltodextrin - spiked me worse than sugar. Read your labels. Glucose monitor is a must for starting keto imo. Walmart has one for $11 ($20 for monitor, strips and lancets).
I'm a female with extremely low body fat, so I figure that's why I can't get fat-adapted, but he says the opposite. I don't feel hungry at all, but I'm stuck in the other symptoms, and I'm on day 13 of about 95% carnivore diet and literally eating big spoonfuls of butter.
Dear Thomas , I still insanely sweat excessive amount of ammonia during my practice session. Despite of , not consuming deliberate amount of protein last couple days ! Kindly, advice. Much love and respect 🙏🏼
After my cardio / circuit workout I feel completely drained and sick for rest of the day. Don’t feel like eating anything literally just eating to keep my calories at a reasonable amount
I can recommend a combo of Sten Ekberg, Dr Berg and Lauer videos. They explain this process very well. Also dietdoctor (who is an actual Nutrionist MD).
i feel like our bodies are trying to tell us this thing, and i mean our basic sense of taste. you love the taste of one thing in a salad but you dont want all of the same taste, you want a variety.
Hey guys, just finished my first ever video on my experience with keto so far. Check it out if you’d like and leave me some feedback or tell me about your keto experience. Thank you if you take the time to do so😀
Does decaf green tea work? Or does it have to be caf? I am overweight and have been intermittent fasting since mid-April. I fast 16/8 most days, do OMAD twice a week, and fast 48 hours once a month. I eat paleo, not keto, but my carbs are usually under 20 grams a day. I lost an initial 6 pounds in April, water weight, I'm sure. But I've been yoyoing up and down 2 pounds ever since. I'm 61. Any advice?
Sometimes if you are not eating enough calories and nutrients in your eating window, your body assumes you are starving and it will shut down metabolism
The Green and Macha I have are both decaf, I also have a great Ayurveda Tea from Sikkim I can recommend. It is superb before sleep. Sikkim is special since they banned all pesticides in Tea. Someone wrote that fasting hinders fat adaption but it certainly have helped fix my bad metabolism. I only did 48 hour and IF(always).
@@RoyaDani Thanks! I'd been wondering if that might be the problem. On the16/8 days, I can usually only manage 1600 calories. And on the OMAD days, it's more like 1000. The thing is that I now don't get hungry in the mornings, and I've been reluctant to force myself to eat when I'm wanting to lose weight. Bottom line is that I think all this is harder when one is 61. I maintained a weight of 135 through my 40s with no trouble at all, but then the fat started creeping on through my 50s. I wish I'd known about intermittent fasting sooner. But I'm going to keep trying.
@@j.m.ney-grimm3029 I remember hearing in one of the RUclips videos that if you fast almost every day your body gets used to the stress and it won't have the effect as if you only fasted once in a while. It might be good to go off fasting and just eat normally but healthy for 2-3 weeks and then do fasting again to shock your body to lose weight.

I was/am. I even cheat a bit. But yeah, I started to smell different. Does anyone have any info, advice, or clues. I think it is my visceral fat being burned. Is this possible or true? I can can tell I smell different.
My question isn't related to this, but it is never covered in anyone's channel.... ? If you are on medications to treat whatever your issue is, and begin (any) type of diet or "life style", when does one realize that the (program) one has chosen has/is correcting thier medical issue, i.e. high blood pressure, T2 diabetes, etc.. So they can begin to wean off the meds to live "drug" free.... If it's possible...
My sister connected with virtahealth dot com and apparently they are real MDs doing that sort of thing. They take her insurance. You have to develop a relationship with a doctor that will help you off meds but that is assuming you seriously change your diet and lifestyle. People (like Thomas) who are not doctors cannot give you medical advice (legally) or advise you to discontinue prescribed medications, even if he are guiding you in that direction. And I think some doctors are not inclined to try this sort of thing. I have a dim view of that type.

Super helpful. Not overweight but have a couple of inches/pounds to lose, plus looking to get ultra healthy. I get close to ketosis and then blow it. I think it’s the snacking before my ‘real meal.’ At least I’ve eliminated junk carbs and cleaned up what I’m eating (cooking again). Some good lifestyle changes. Thomas, your info is great.
Is it worth sticking to keto for any other reason than weight loss(as a healthy individual)?. Is a balanced diet plan, that includes only healthy carbs that you are usually talking about less healthy than a keto diet?
Try adding more ruminat meat fat like tallow or butter/ ghee into your diet. Make sure you’re adding salt to everything and keep giving it time. Took me 1 month to lose the hunger, tired, brain fog. Now better than ever
“Get there FASTer “ … the answer is right there in front of you …. Experiencing the senses that come with “fat adaptation” is worth the effort. One can only achieve this through discipline, willpower …… and then one must believe in a higher power ….. no different from the alcoholic anonymous prescription ……. Nothing new really …. Good luck to all the warriors and worries …
i am having trouble, not fat adapted and my tummy is bloated and i gained a pound last night, never mind NOT losing any weight on keto... that green tea site has so many kinds of green tea and i don't know what to buy
The green tea issue is easily solvable. Just pick one that sounds good to you and buy that one. get it home. Try it. If you like it then you need not look any further. If it sucks, then give it away and start over with another product. Or, if you're like me; buy one of a few different ones and have a party. I haven't met an authenitc green tea I didn't like. Good luck.
@@40bpaula thanks for the help, my brain is a bit off the train too... i have no energy to the point i'm wondering if i'm getting sick... my tummy is still super bloated and such... i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, maybe not enuff veggies
I'm working up to that. 48 hrs into my 3rd 72 hr. I learned from my first 72, so now, days 2 and 3, I do the 'fast mimicking diet', where I eat 2 salads a day to keep me regular.
Doing IF and 48 hour and that works quite well. The 48 helps accelerate since I have slow metabolism. Someone said it slows fat adaption but it helps metabolism and that is my main thing.
I thought this was a great video. I'm not exactly sure if I'm fat adapted. I'm super lean up on top I'm having such a hard time to lose fat in my lower body. Gotta change things up I think.
@@estellaramirez3643 sorry, you're misunderstanding what I was saying. Thomas did a video some time ago where he was explaining research that showed that exercising in a fasted state can improve fat reduction in the area(s) used by up to 10% more than fat is reduced in other areas. It's not much, but it's something and the closest thing we have to spot reduction for fat loss. So I was just throwing out that suggestion as something you could try. (If you want, I can try to find that video. I think I remember which one it is, but I just can't look it up right now.)

Okay I am going to try this. I just started drinking green tea in the past month. I have noticed when I do drink green tea my crab cravings go away for hours.
You're gonna have to do better than just green tea. Full system shock plan, man. I've been trying to live on keto since August 2018. Fell off & got back on the wagon plenty of times. I've gotta lose weight BEFORE a lot of cardio; it needs to melt outta me without breaking my legs, knees, butt. More than green tea, Thomas.
Totally agree. All this working out stuff is not for me and neither is green tea ( tastes vile and literally makes me gag) yet I've still managed to lose 35lbs in the last 3 months. You can't beat the old idea of cutting out snacks / sugar and high calorie junk, plus alcohol ( empty calories). That's basically all I did.
Me too. My brain just won't process all this scientific stuff (it doesn't work in that way....I was always bad at sciences at school) I have my own way of doing thngs that's worked well enough for me to lose 35lbs in the last 3 months, so I'll just carry on in my own way. Just wish these videos would stop randomly popping up....just too confusing for me so I shouldn't watch them, and hence cause more to pop up.

I'm 5'10'' and 160 lbs...skinny fat.
I have the same problem. I think I may have fasted too much in the past as I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago and was fully fat adapted for at least 9 months. I fell off the wagon for a few years and now I’m loosing weight but it takes me minimum 2-3 days to get into ketosis. My problem is I do max 5 day fasts at a time or minimum 18 hour daily fasts, so I’m always kicking myself out of ketosis and then have to start the journey again. I actually drink green tea and play a lot of soccer, so it’s quite confusing to me why I can’t get fat adapted again.
@@cmead010 Still. Wouldn't the weight loss be the main thing here? I never measure them so I just assume it works but as long as I am going down I am happy :). Lauer, Ekberg and Berg have helped me a lot with that.
You need to do dry fasting
Dear Thomas, I watch you constantly and am more confused with each video. Am I fat adapted? Am I in ketosis? Am I insulin resistant? Am I fasting too much, too little? Am I getting enough nutrients? Is it ok that I eat my vegetables raw? Do I eat too much dairy? Where can I go to get these questions answered?
I love this SO MUCH... definitely gonna try ALL of these tips! Thx for supporting us in our journey💛
this is really helpful i started at 297.4 feb 1st of this year and just hit my first 41.2 lbs of weight loss which is 25% of my loss goal ish of 167 lbs ish all the ish is i am leaving final goals open for muscle gain and those variables
Your microbiome advices are a life-changer... Thank you!!
Unfounded for the most part. Life changing for those who don't actually look at the studies he references
@@thakraken6995 Well everyone is free to read them and make up their own mind, just like any other study.
@@thakraken6995i don't know what you're getting at, but I'm gonna keep on watching his videos, and you can't tell me that what he says hasn't changed my diet for the better because it has. At the end you believe whatever you want to believe if you want to disagree or whatsoever i understand it. Just like they say "one side does not fit all"...
@@marcusmaunula5018 I listen to a few people and I take whatever I believe is the best for me... Thanks to that my diet has matured to the point that i still don't believe that reaching this level was possible for me to be honest...
@@elphi9445 at least we've established a placebo effect is a thing
I've been on this train for ever🤦♀️ I just can't seem to get it right.... One of these days I'll get it😂 another amazing video as always, Thomas... I don't comment much but I'm one of your number 1 fans... If you can have more then 1 😂😂😂
We are all unique so it's just possible that you need to adapt it to your needs. Lauer gives the general guidelines. Just be patient, it will work out. By dropping junk food and eating better you have already won :).

Hey Thomas that looks like a pretty sweet Brunswick pool table in the background ?? Haha I actually sell them for a living , cool stuff 💪🏻👍
Thank you ! I actually tried the green tea, and the hunger went away. I was going crazy , just ate 300g ground beef and ruccola and was hungrier than before. The green tea calmed the hunger down. thanks ♥
Thanks for the video Thomas!
This is really good information! I really like this video. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this 🙌🏽
Very true. It took me about 2 weeks to feel full. Now, I get VERY full and I can't eat all the food I make. I have no sugar cravings nor do I want to snack at night.
Well done! Do you still eat dairy, heavy cream? Yoghurt? Berry´s?
@@AlotofStuffChannel Yes. No yogurt yet. But yes to butters, cream cheese, cheeses, eggs. Heavy whipping cream is my Friday treat in my morning -drive coffee. I usually use butter, coconut oil and coconut milk in my coffee. There are probably other dairy products I consume but I can't think of them all at the moment.
I do my workout and cardio about three hours after lunch and its workout good for me. I eat nothing after lunch, only water
Sometimes I feel like Thomas talks slower than usual so I just increase the speed by 1.25
and everything feels normal again
You must have ADHD too😄
I went to the caribbean for a month and lived on rum, jerk anything and Rice and peas. Getting re-adapted is taking a while. Never new I could store up so much sugar.
Great, informative video! Thank you!
Great video, PPR-Alpha vs Pyruvate dehydrogenate
Hey hey have you looked into moringa? It’s super anti inflammatory and super nutritious
Thank you for these tips. I did experience that ravenous hunger. It is something I have dealt with for most of my life. I found that drinking Aloe Vera juice (pure, unadulterated) and putting tumeric in the pink sea salt blend I make to season my food helped allot with the pangs. Not sure if they helped at all with the whole Fat adaptive thing, but at the time; I was just trying to get over the pangs. But I'll incorporate these timps into my regimen.
I'm not hungry but I'm really missing out on that "energy boost". I fight exhaustion daily.
Add ,pink salt,macha tea and enzymes in your intake it should give you a bust.
I was getting so exhausted that I felt faint. Then I stumbled on some of Thomas' videos about electrolytes. I started taking magnesium malate supplements (MagSRT from Jigsaw) and adding a pinch of Redmond Real Salt and 1/8 teaspoon of potassium chloride to my water. Within 4 days the fatigue was starting to improve.
I meant boost..but any way I have been following both THOMAS and Berg but yes like that comment .We must check here and there something is missing or should be increased.potassium ,magnesium, vitamin D3/K2, salt,berberine and choline ,specially that because it remove fat,adrenal control so our energy is well spread up in the Morning and reducing to induce sleep desires. Taking ginger,cinnamon, and lavender, get help sleep better because it can help to burn fat as you sleep. I work hard on all those things.
You mentioned Dr. Berg. Well I take his electrolytes which are high in potassium and I got some of the LMNT from Thomas' previous video and I combine the two into a larger volume and keep that handy. That fixed my energy problems in general. Previously I ate all the time. Now I do OMAD and I find the Mg, K and Na boost is very helpful.
add electrolytes or drink completely less water.
Oh Thomas! Can you just come to my house and cook for me and my hubby🤣♥️
I know i am fat adapted, anything i eat goes straight to my hips.
🤣
Lol. I think that would be more like Fat Reacted.
Er... sounds like eating fermented foods is the solution. As for tea, sounds like an ingredient for breaking grease... so vinegar can do, right? Like ACV. Or any range of tea.
Why are fermented foods rhe solution to not being fat adapted?
I'm opposite - can i get fat adapted too fast (2-3days)?. 120kg (265 pounds) and after eating full day of meat onlydishes i've decided to try keto (first diet in my life). After constantly eating snacks, potato chips, pizzas - all junk food and sweet things + sodas 24/7 (+ tons of sweet fruits) i've went 2days meat (i know u need a balanced diet- thats how i got into keto). Third day instead of feeling constant hunger when i saw a cookie i felt nothing, same as if i was looking at book or other item. Instantly went to I-fasting cause i wasn't hungry most of time, doing 16h:8h split.
Im 4rd week on Keto, adapted most of healthy guidelines (high q meats, fishes, tons of vegies some berries and alot of different seeds).
Thing is: it still looks too easy, 10-15 years of eating junk food and sweets and gaining like 40kg (i was slim for like 25years, eating home made foods and meat/fruits from own village plantation).
10-15y of constant cravings, having easy access to instant available in a city carb junk food, eating from morning to midnight - and after 2-3 days keto, i dont ever feel really hungry and when i look at pizza or freshly baked cake i feel 0 cravings.
Also didnt have any low mood/energy or any problems. Woke up 3rd day with no carbs and was feeling full of energy all day.
How long should we wait between meals, your item 2 in reasons why might be working
A glucose monitor and testing 1 hr after every meal will help people find the triggers that spike their blood sugar (everyone is different). For me it was “sugar free” popsicles before bed that actually have maltodextrin - spiked me worse than sugar. Read your labels. Glucose monitor is a must for starting keto imo. Walmart has one for $11 ($20 for monitor, strips and lancets).
I'm a female with extremely low body fat, so I figure that's why I can't get fat-adapted, but he says the opposite. I don't feel hungry at all, but I'm stuck in the other symptoms, and I'm on day 13 of about 95% carnivore diet and literally eating big spoonfuls of butter.
Dear Thomas ,
I still insanely sweat excessive amount of ammonia during my practice session.
Despite of , not consuming deliberate amount of protein last couple days !
Kindly, advice.
Much love and respect 🙏🏼
How far apart do you recommend spacing out your meals during the day? I'm sure you've said it a million times so I apologize upfront! :)
Im extremely built now!!!!! No im not working out either!!!! 48 and built like im 25!!???? Hmmmmm!!!??? Thanks thomas!!!!!
How long does fat adaptation take to work for you?
After my cardio / circuit workout I feel completely drained and sick for rest of the day. Don’t feel like eating anything literally just eating to keep my calories at a reasonable amount
Maria emmerich says how can I burn fat if I’m eating a lot of it ? I’m so confused over this. Can u explain ?
I can recommend a combo of Sten Ekberg, Dr Berg and Lauer videos. They explain this process very well. Also dietdoctor (who is an actual Nutrionist MD).
i feel like our bodies are trying to tell us this thing, and i mean our basic sense of taste. you love the taste of one thing in a salad but you dont want all of the same taste, you want a variety.
I wish you'd just give a weekly plan food/exercise/fast. One week of ideal all of it.
Same
Day 9 of keto and IF ( 22 hour fast- 2 hour eating) and its been a diarrhea party over here even a oil slick, this is fucked 😬😩
Hot
I was wondering do you still sell the powder that tastes like apple pie?
Belgium is watching 😉
I become nauseated when I drink green tea unless I add ginger.
That Mocha has calories. How does one use it during a fast?
The presence of fructose. Fructose tells the brain dont burn fat. Insulin does this also.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids do that.
And it's not in your brain, it's in your fat cells.
@@googlespies
Can't seem to find a source to support that claim. Do u have a link?
@@thakraken6995 ruclips.net/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/видео.html
@@googlespies his lecture seem to be in reference to seed oils though not polyunsaturated fats themselves
@@thakraken6995 They're in seed oils.
Hey guys, just finished my first ever video on my experience with keto so far. Check it out if you’d like and leave me some feedback or tell me about your keto experience.
Thank you if you take the time to do so😀
Does decaf green tea work? Or does it have to be caf? I am overweight and have been intermittent fasting since mid-April. I fast 16/8 most days, do OMAD twice a week, and fast 48 hours once a month. I eat paleo, not keto, but my carbs are usually under 20 grams a day. I lost an initial 6 pounds in April, water weight, I'm sure. But I've been yoyoing up and down 2 pounds ever since. I'm 61. Any advice?
Sometimes if you are not eating enough calories and nutrients in your eating window, your body assumes you are starving and it will shut down metabolism
The Green and Macha I have are both decaf, I also have a great Ayurveda Tea from Sikkim I can recommend. It is superb before sleep. Sikkim is special since they banned all pesticides in Tea. Someone wrote that fasting hinders fat adaption but it certainly have helped fix my bad metabolism. I only did 48 hour and IF(always).
@@RoyaDani Thanks! I'd been wondering if that might be the problem. On the16/8 days, I can usually only manage 1600 calories. And on the OMAD days, it's more like 1000. The thing is that I now don't get hungry in the mornings, and I've been reluctant to force myself to eat when I'm wanting to lose weight. Bottom line is that I think all this is harder when one is 61. I maintained a weight of 135 through my 40s with no trouble at all, but then the fat started creeping on through my 50s. I wish I'd known about intermittent fasting sooner. But I'm going to keep trying.
@@j.m.ney-grimm3029 I remember hearing in one of the RUclips videos that if you fast almost every day your body gets used to the stress and it won't have the effect as if you only fasted once in a while. It might be good to go off fasting and just eat normally but healthy for 2-3 weeks and then do fasting again to shock your body to lose weight.

Does the green tea need to have caffeine?
I was/am. I even cheat a bit. But yeah, I started to smell different. Does anyone have any info, advice, or clues. I think it is my visceral fat being burned. Is this possible or true?
I can can tell I smell different.
Try chlorophyll. It’s a natural deodorizer.
My question isn't related to this, but it is never covered in anyone's channel....
? If you are on medications to treat whatever your issue is, and begin (any) type of diet or "life style", when does one realize that the (program) one has chosen has/is correcting thier medical issue, i.e. high blood pressure, T2 diabetes, etc.. So they can begin to wean off the meds to live "drug" free.... If it's possible...
My sister connected with virtahealth dot com and apparently they are real MDs doing that sort of thing. They take her insurance. You have to develop a relationship with a doctor that will help you off meds but that is assuming you seriously change your diet and lifestyle. People (like Thomas) who are not doctors cannot give you medical advice (legally) or advise you to discontinue prescribed medications, even if he are guiding you in that direction. And I think some doctors are not inclined to try this sort of thing. I have a dim view of that type.

Video is a year old. Why captions not working? Being mostly deaf, I kinda need captions on videos.
My family eats a lot of wild game. Are there “rules” for this? Are there certain meats that are better than others or any that we should avoid? I have not seen any videos, from anyone, on this topic.

Wild game is totally fine, just make sure you are adding enough fat to your meals as wild game is pretty lean.
Super helpful. Not overweight but have a couple of inches/pounds to lose, plus looking to get ultra healthy. I get close to ketosis and then blow it. I think it’s the snacking before my ‘real meal.’ At least I’ve eliminated junk carbs and cleaned up what I’m eating (cooking again). Some good lifestyle changes. Thomas, your info is great.
Is it worth sticking to keto for any other reason than weight loss(as a healthy individual)?. Is a balanced diet plan, that includes only healthy carbs that you are usually talking about less healthy than a keto diet?
Thnkx alot...from morocco
I am on the carnivore and am feeling low energie after a week still and thats is comming from keto.
Try adding more ruminat meat fat like tallow or butter/ ghee into your diet. Make sure you’re adding salt to everything and keep giving it time. Took me 1 month to lose the hunger, tired, brain fog. Now better than ever
Also keep drinking lots of water
There is a chance you are not getting enough salts. I take electrolytes in water and generally that fixed my energy weirdness.
“Get there FASTer “ … the answer is right there in front of you ….
Experiencing the senses that come with “fat adaptation” is worth the effort.
One can only achieve this through discipline, willpower …… and then one must believe in a higher power ….. no different from the alcoholic anonymous prescription ……. Nothing new really ….
Good luck to all the warriors and worries …
I cant get the matcha since Im from the UK
You can find it in Asian Shops. I have seen a few in UK ;). I am fairly sure Sainsbury has it too.
Love it!
i am having trouble, not fat adapted and my tummy is bloated and i gained a pound last night, never mind NOT losing any weight on keto... that green tea site has so many kinds of green tea and i don't know what to buy
The green tea issue is easily solvable. Just pick one that sounds good to you and buy that one. get it home. Try it. If you like it then you need not look any further. If it sucks, then give it away and start over with another product. Or, if you're like me; buy one of a few different ones and have a party. I haven't met an authenitc green tea I didn't like. Good luck.

My sister keeps insisting that I need to eat Avocados, But I hate Avocados 🥑 💥
I seem to have a sensitivity to avocados. They make me sick to my stomach, every time I try to eat them. Oil, whole mixed with stuff or by itself.
Don't worry, everyone has something they can't stand or allergic to. You can always replace Avocados with other fats.
I am glad that I like avocados! What I never liked was pasta…. Made Keto easy for me.
Thanks for the shorter vid. I skip many of yours as I simply don't have the time.
Thomas, what is the best definition of being Fat Adapted and how can one know definitively that one is Fat Adapted with no ambiguity?
72 hr fasts with 1 day of eating keto inbetween for a few cycles works wonders
I'm working up to that. 48 hrs into my 3rd 72 hr. I learned from my first 72, so now, days 2 and 3, I do the 'fast mimicking diet', where I eat 2 salads a day to keep me regular.
Doing IF and 48 hour and that works quite well. The 48 helps accelerate since I have slow metabolism. Someone said it slows fat adaption but it helps metabolism and that is my main thing.
Just do one 36 hour dry fast once a week
@@staceykersting705 I think the salad breaks the fast
@@almoment2728 Did u look up 'fast mimicking diet"? Lots of research behind it.
Thanks 🔥💪👍👏🏅🙌💯🏅🥇🏆🌟🙏💰💰💰😁
I thought this was a great video. I'm not exactly sure if I'm fat adapted. I'm super lean up on top I'm having such a hard time to lose fat in my lower body. Gotta change things up I think.
Have you tried lower body exercises while in a fasted state?
@@mimked what??? Ummm could be, but then why would my upper body be so lean.
@@estellaramirez3643 sorry, you're misunderstanding what I was saying.
Thomas did a video some time ago where he was explaining research that showed that exercising in a fasted state can improve fat reduction in the area(s) used by up to 10% more than fat is reduced in other areas. It's not much, but it's something and the closest thing we have to spot reduction for fat loss.
So I was just throwing out that suggestion as something you could try.
(If you want, I can try to find that video. I think I remember which one it is, but I just can't look it up right now.)

THANKS THOMAS! Reading the prior comments.... you can tell who is still eating sugar!
Fats make me tired and I feel like crap. Carbs helped me lose weight and stay full.
Fasting is not the answer to fat adaptive success !
Okay I am going to try this. I just started drinking green tea in the past month. I have noticed when I do drink green tea my crab cravings go away for hours.
👍
Fasting succeeds where keto does not... ADF few baby
❤️
I feel like I'm dieing.
You're gonna have to do better than just green tea. Full system shock plan, man. I've been trying to live on keto since August 2018. Fell off & got back on the wagon plenty of times.
I've gotta lose weight BEFORE a lot of cardio; it needs to melt outta me without breaking my legs, knees, butt.
More than green tea, Thomas.
Totally agree. All this working out stuff is not for me and neither is green tea ( tastes vile and literally makes me gag) yet I've still managed to lose 35lbs in the last 3 months. You can't beat the old idea of cutting out snacks / sugar and high calorie junk, plus alcohol ( empty calories). That's basically all I did.
I lose weight fast.i think it's because my bad liver
Do you know your fat adapted when your urine keto stick comes up negative ❓❓❓
English please.
😁🖖👍👌✌😎
so many theories , i'm tired of all this .
Me too. My brain just won't process all this scientific stuff (it doesn't work in that way....I was always bad at sciences at school) I have my own way of doing thngs that's worked well enough for me to lose 35lbs in the last 3 months, so I'll just carry on in my own way. Just wish these videos would stop randomly popping up....just too confusing for me so I shouldn't watch them, and hence cause more to pop up.
1st!
Just take cardarine
People who are fat-adapted are just built differently.
Ketones are superior
just being sarcastic here guys
;)
