Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. We're going to talk about refeeding symptoms after a fast. Now, if you're just doing,

you know, in a minute fasting where you're doing you know two meals a day or one

meal a day this video is not for you this video is more about the person who does a 36 hour fast

or 48 hour fast or a 72 hour faster longer so what happens is the longer you fast the less

you need of hydrochloric acid, bile, enzymes. I mean, they're being produced,

but not in the same quantity. So they tend to adapt and shut down to some degree. And you come in there,

like I did after a long fast, and you eat this huge meal. Oh my goodness, are you going to feel

sick? You may feel arthritis, nauseous, bloating, tired. You may even get diarrhea, gas, or stomach pain.

So you don't want to do that. Very simply, you want to consume a small meal. This usually is fine, cooked or steamed veggies, and not a lot, just a little bit.

Or a small salad of leafy greens with a little olive oil and maybe some vinaigrette, maybe

a little bit of berries, okay, or a little bit of fermented vegetables and maybe some protein like one egg or a little bit

of chicken. Maybe you have a chicken wing or a chicken leg and a little bit of fish, maybe three ounces.

But that's it. Not a big meal for your first meal. So now after you started this, what's going to

happen is you're going to start producing a little more

hydrochloric acid, a little more bile, a little more enzymes. Then the next meal after this

could be a little bit bigger, and then a little bit bigger, et cetera. But the reason why vegetables

seem to be the best thing to consume is because they have enzymes already in them

to help you digest. And so anytime you eat food without enzymes, your body has to make them

if you have enough. But don't start out with that first meal having a huge Texas-style steak
