0:00.0 | So, are you exhausted after giving up your carbs? |
0:03.3 | Now, I want to explain why this is. |
0:05.5 | I recently did a video talking about this, but I wanted to create one video just on this |
0:09.3 | one point, because I think it's really, really important, okay? |
0:13.8 | In your body, you have something called the mitochondria. |
0:16.0 | The mitochondria is where all the energy is created in your body. |
0:21.0 | And you have food that converts into energy. |
0:23.8 | In order to do that, you need all these different chemical reactions that occur. |

1:02.1 | The enzyme is what's doing the work in the spark plug, okay? |
1:06.1 | But these two are essential to make this activated. |

1:17.9 | So our bodies need a lot of B1 and magnesium, especially if we have a history of doing |
1:22.6 | high carb diets, okay? |
1:24.6 | And then we do ketosis, okay, we get off the carbs, we develop new machinery to actually |
1:29.6 | burn fat. |
1:30.6 | Well, you actually now need also a good amount of these. |
