⚠ PAALALA ⚠
Take all vitamin/gamot during feasting window/time. If taking medication, wag muna mag IF, focus on LC foods.
Bawal po muna ang FASTING sa newbies. Sanayin muna ang sarili sa LOW CARB food hanggang maging FAT-ADAPTED.
Sample ng pinakamadaling fasting 12:12 or 16:8 (you can change the time depende sayo)
Kung nag eexercise/workout ka mas nirerecomend nila during fasting time to burn more calories/fats (but still its up to you)
Limit your carbohydrate intake to 20 grams per day!
Ugaliin po natin magcheck ng NUTRI FACTS & INGREDIENTS sa mga binibili natin(make sure low carbs & 0 sugar) para di masayang ang effort.
Check for hidden sugar like DEXTROSE & MALTODEXTRIN — out po yan
Guys not all LC FOODS especially gulay pwede mo kainin ng unli.. kasi we are only allowed up to 20 grams of carbs per day. Yung nababasa niyong kain as much you can, yun yung mga zero carbs like KARNE kaya dapat mas marami ang KARNE kesa gulay.
Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full.
It would be best to have your lipid profile checked before starting. Also, have a pro lowcarb/keto doctor monitor you while on this journey if taking meds or with existing medical condition.
Ingat sa pag gamit ng mga SUGAR SUBSTITUTES and LOW CALORIE SWEETENERS. Kadalasan ang mga ito ay nakakapagpalala ng cravings at may studies din tungkol sa mga negative effects ng mga ito sa ating katawan.
