We're going to talk about the seven reasons why you might be tired on keto and when you're

0:25.4

doing it in a fasting. Number one, it could be that you need more B vitamins, specifically B1

0:31.8

and B5. Those two vitamins are crucial in your metabolism and your ability to make energy,

0:38.3

okay? I recommend getting your B vitamins from nutritional yeast, that's a natural form,

0:43.4

you can get it in a powder or a tablet form, make sure it's unfortified because you don't want to

0:49.1

use synthetics. The only time I'd recommend B vitamins in a synthetic form is when you're doing

0:54.5

some type of detoxification, okay? But synthetics are made from petroleum, so it's not the same

1:01.8

as natural, so nutritional yeast. Secondly, increase potassium. That would be large quantities

1:09.5

of vegetables, so make sure you're doing that if you're not, that could be the reason. If you

1:14.0

can't seem to consume the quantity of vegetables that you need, then enhance it with something like

1:18.7

Alpocytobinigrid is a really good way to enhance the acids, but also the potassium from the greens

1:43.7

will actually help you make hydrochloric acid. Also, sea salt, sodium chloride, the chlorides help

1:50.7

make HCL hydrochloric acid. We'll also help do this, but you can also get Alpocytobinigrid in a

1:56.6

tablet form, and if that doesn't work, add another thing called Betaine Hydrochloride, okay? That's

2:03.4

an acidifier, and that will help increase the energy, especially if your energy is tired after

2:09.1

you eat, okay? Number four, hidden carbohydrates. This is a big one, too. If you're doing keto,

2:17.0

and you're not doing it correctly, let's say you're adding potato chips with your protein,

2:22.6

or adding a little bit of sugar or something like that, that combination will really make you tired,

2:28.4

big time. So, look out for that, and then number five, decrease blood sugars. So, if your blood
