Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hi guys, I had another question from someone who has zero appetite, okay, the doing

intermittent fasting, they're doing keto and they have no appetite, okay, and in some

of the videos I've done before, I say don't eat if you're not hungry, okay, so they're

just not eating. So with appetite, you have to have common sense because the definition

of food really has two purposes. One is to provide fuel, so here you are running your body

of fat to burn and you're feeling fine, okay, but the other purpose of food is to provide

nutrients. So if you go longer than a day without eating and you are nutritionally deficient,

which a lot of people are, especially electrolytes, you could end up having some problems passing

need to eat at least once a day, even if they have no appetite, okay, and some people that

don't want to lose weight should consume two meals a day, even if they don't have an appetite.

So let's say for example, you are a little hungry and it's 12 o'clock, okay, and you eat,

but after that you're not hungry and you can go the whole day into the next day without eating

because you have no appetite. I'm going to recommend you wait four hours and you eat again,

even if you're not hungry. That's for the scenario of someone that doesn't want to lose

any more weight. They just want to maintain your weight because we want to make sure we're

getting all of our nutrients, but you don't have to consume a very, very large meal. You can

have a nice-sized salad with a small amount of protein, a little bit of fat, because your stomach

will shrink if you do intermittent fasting, and that means that the requirement for food will
