Episode notes

How much should you eat? Should you increase your carb intake? And if you’re eating six eggs for breakfast, but getting hunger pains by noon, then what is that a sign of? I cover all these questions and more in today’s breather episode dedicated to answering some awesome inquiries sent in from listeners.

Most of the questions I’ll cover today center around fitness, food, and fasting. First up is a question from a listener, Tim, who’s now at the half-way point of his Keto reset Mastery course (congrats!), and has found that he’s actually lost too much weight. I advise him to double his carb intake, as well as increase fat, in order to regain a few of the (many) pounds he’s lost.

Up next is a question from a listener who is an active and healthy 32-year-old mother of two. She’s kept up with her running, does marathons, and eats very clean, nutrient-dense food. But she’s struggling with the fact that, after her breakfast of six eggs, she’ll still get super hungry by noon. She’s feeling frustrated by this as she would prefer to just eat in a smaller window, but there is no reason to get discouraged or frustrated. Listen to your body! When your hunger calls, go make yourself a healthy, nutritious meal. If you’re craving sweet potatoes, eat them! If you’re craving protein, go for that - just pay attention to what your body is telling you. Especially if you are breast-feeding, you will definitely need the extra calories and nutrients, not just for you, but for your growing baby!

Here’s a great question: is it possible to effectively train for a 5K, while eating a keto diet? Sure, but you do need to train sensibly in order to support your ketogenic diet goals. Otherwise, it’ll be too much stress on your body.

We wrap up with a wonderful, thoughtful message from Kristin, a listener who’s been tuning in to the podcast during her long commute to work. She shares the exciting news that she has been able to get off Nexium after 16 years of taking it! Turns out, acid reflux can easily be taken care of through diet, not medication. Kristin and her husband started a total lifestyle transformation after reading The Keto Reset Diet. They completely changed their diet, monitored their screen exposure, got on a great sleep schedule, and dropped 34 pounds combined! And all of this happened because Kristin’s husband just happened upon the book: “I think the moment he decided to purchase that book would be one of those explosive, random events that Art de Vany refers to...it certainly radically altered the course of our lives.” That’s huge, so congrats Kristin, and thanks so much for writing in.

That’s all for today - I love reading your thought-provoking questions, so keep ‘em coming, and enjoy your life man!
