In this video, I'm going to cover the five reasons why you aren't losing weight when fasting. I'm not talking about intermittent fasting. I'm talking about fasting for a longer period of time.
If you're doing intermittent fasting and keto, and you're not losing weight, it may be because:
• You're consuming too many carbs (you may need to go down to 10g or less per day)
• You're eating too frequently
• You're consuming too much fat
But let's say you're fasting for a longer period of time, like 2-3 days, and you still haven't lost weight. Why could this happen?
Fasting with no weight loss could be caused by:
1. A very slow metabolism
2. Constipation
3. Stress (high cortisol)
4. Not sleeping
5. Water retention
What you could do:
• Take nutrients that help with insulin resistance (electrolytes, B vitamins, trace minerals, and vitamin D)
• Take bile salts 3 times per day
• Increase sleep and decrease stress
• Give it more time
