Today we’re going to talk about what to do if you stopped doing keto and intermittent fasting during quarantine and how to get back on track.

Along with social distancing, you may also want to try carb distancing. Some people think that to get back on keto, they should do a sugar detox. But, there’s really no such thing as sugar detoxification.

When you stop doing keto and intermittent fasting, the brain starts using glucose as fuel again. But, now you want to get back on track, and you stop consuming carbs and sugar again. Your brain doesn’t have any stored sugar though, so you’re going to feel cognitive changes, such as:

• Sugar cravings

• Stress

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Irritability

• Fatigue

These are not symptoms of sugar detoxification. They are symptoms of lacking fuel. Changing over your fuel system from glucose to fat takes some time. The brain prefers ketones over sugar. This means that you want to get into ketosis as fast as possible.

Things that can help get you back in ketosis fast:

1. MCT oil

2. Consume protein

3. Lower your carbs

4. Increase foods high in potassium (vegetables)

1:38.0	And so the first place to feel it is the brain, because the brain has been using glucose as its primary fuel and now
1:46.7	you stop consuming the carbs. Well the brain doesn't have any stored sugar.
1:53.4	It gets its sugar from other places in the body,
1:57.1	but not in the brain.
1:58.6	So you're going to tap it out pretty fast.
