Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

There's five reasons why you may not be losing weight when you're fasting.

Now I want to clarify what this video is about.

I'm not talking about intermittent fasting.

I'm talking about just fasting for a longer period of time.

Since we're on the topic of intermittent fasting, if you're doing intermittent fasting in keto and you're not losing weight,

usually it's because you're doing too many carbs.

I've done a lot of videos on this.

You just have to really low your carbs, sometimes down to 10 grams per day or less.

It could also be that you're just not fasting long enough.

Your metabolism is slow and you're fasting, let's say, 16 hours or 18 hours.

You may need to do longer.

Or you're just consuming too much fat.

And your body's turning the dietary fat into ketones, not your own fat into ketones.

So these are the three things to pay attention to.

But what this video is about is let's say you're fasting for a longer period of time, two days, three days, and you're not losing weight.

Why? How can that be?

Well, there's a couple reasons for this.

Being in practice for 29 years, I've ran into certain individuals that fasted for quite a period of time with hardly any weight loss.

And I'm just going to tell you what we found with those people.
