Do you want to learn how to make keto and extended fasting easier?

In this podcast, I interview Jimmy Moore and we talk about how to make keto and extended fasting easier. Jimmy is the creator of the show LivinLaVidaLowCarb and is an inspiration to us all. He is also an international best-selling author and an inspiring speaker who is a highly sought-after lecturer worldwide. In this podcast, we start by talking about keto and then finish the rest of the episode by talking about "how Jimmy can get me past four days of fasting." Overall in the episode, he gives tips on making keto easy and how to get through challenges with fasting.

Keep keto simple

Do not count net carbs.

Overall, Jimmy is an advocate of keeping keto simple. He discusses his theory on keeping total carbs 20 or less, especially when first starting a ketogenic diet. When doing keto, he says that it is best to look at total carbs versus net carbs. His newest book, Keto Clarity, helps explain this concept and the other powerful therapeutic effects of a ketogenic diet.

Increase carb intake one week before your period

According to Jimmy, it is okay to increase your carbs one week before your period if you are a menstruating woman. However, once you start your period, decrease your carb intake to what it was before your premenstrual time. Let me give you an example. Let's say that you've been doing 20 total carbs per day, but now you are in your PMS time(7 days before you start bleeding).

Right now, due to PMS hormones, you are craving bread, sugar, and potato chips. Even though you may feel like it, do not give in to these carb-laden foods. However, you can increase your total carbs from 20 to maybe 30 or even 40(or higher if you can get away with it) temporarily until you start bleeding. Once you start your period, go back to 20 total carbs to help with bleeding and cramping.

Learn how to prepare for an extended fast and get tips for hunger

Keep your goals in mind, and meditation

In the podcast, Jimmy also goes through several ways to successfully prepare for your fast and deal with those times of hunger. He says that when choosing a prolonged fast, it is essential to keep your goals in mind. I could not agree more with this concept! If we have the insight of our goal in mind, then we are more apt to complete it. For example, one of my goals is to get through a four-day fast eventually. Once I visualize this goal and hold it close, I will do it!

Whether your goal with fasting is to lose weight or detox your body, you should always stick to that. On the show, Jimmy also talks about he is all about meditation when it comes to fasting. I feel like this, too is another crucial intervention to help comply with a fast.

Purchase Jimmy and Dr. Jason Fung's Book

Another good way to prepare for an extended fast is to get Jimmy's book on fasting that he wrote with Dr. Jason Fung. The book's name is called, The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting. I have referred to this book repeatedly when I fast because it gives me a lot of motivation.

Why the keto diet for diabetes?

There are numerous reasons to do the Keto diet if you have Type 1 Diabetes! Not only will you prolong your life and experience less complications, you can save money on insulin. Recently, there has been an advent in the increase in drug prices and unfortunately this will make it a lot harder for people to afford to purchase insulin.
