Have you ever wondered, “why am I craving carbs?” Well, in this video, I’m going to give you the three reasons why, as well as how to stop craving carbs on keto.  

3 reasons why you're craving carbs on keto:  

1. Insulin resistance  Consuming a high carb diet raises insulin and keeps your blood sugars low, so you keep wanting carbs. In this situation, you will eventually develop insulin resistance. Your cells will be hungry and craving carbs all day long. The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting will help with this issue.  

2. Low Fats Fats are necessary to allow you to be satisfied, especially when you're doing intermittent fasting.  

3. Low micronutrients Micronutrients are incredibly important, especially when it comes to getting rid of cravings and hunger. If you consume all of the nutrients that your body requires each day, you will be satisfied and healthy.    

If you’re consuming the ketogenic diet without nutrients, your diet may be keto-friendly, but you may still feel hungry. The foods that you see over and over on the list below are nutrient-dense and will satisfy your nutrient deficiencies.   

As you fix insulin resistance, you have plenty of healthy fats, and you have plenty of micronutrients—you should get rid of carb cravings.

Insulin resistance, consuming a high-carb diet, raises insulin, keeps your blood sugars low, and you keep wanting carbohydrates over and over,

0:56.0

and eventually you'll develop insulin resistance where the insulin no longer connects to the cell.
