0:00.0 | Hey guys, I recently had a question from someone that wanted to know, why am I getting diarrhea |
0:03.7 | when I'm doing ketosis, okay? |
0:05.4 | Well, there's usually two reasons. |
0:07.1 | Number one is you're not used to digesting that amount of saturated fat, okay? |

1:17.5 | And stick with just regular green lettuce, cucumber, tomato, zucchini, bell pepper, |

1:28.6 | You can also consume more fermented vegetables and even spinach could be a problem. |
1:34.2 | So when you're consuming lettuce, for example, a lot of times it comes in a container or a bag, |
