Dr. Eric Berg explains that the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting should theoretically increase energy, but some people feel tired instead. There are several common reasons behind this, not necessarily a wrong diet, but rather that the body has not adapted and the nutrients have not been adequately replenished.

🔄 Initial transition period: Sugar → Fat fuel
- It takes about 3 days for the body to adapt when it switches from burning sugar to burning fat.
- Initially, triglycerides are released for energy, but ketosis is not yet fully established.
- If you consume "hidden sugars" or snacks, or consume excessive protein, your blood sugar will fluctuate , hindering the entry into ketosis and resulting in insufficient energy .
📱 Electromagnetic fields ( EMF ) affect energy
- Prolonged exposure to computers, mobile phones, Wi-Fi , and electrical wires inside walls can lead to electromagnetic interference with the brain.
- Decreased sleep quality → mental fatigue
- It is recommended to reduce the use of electronic devices before bed and improve the sleep environment.
🧬 Nutrient deficiency leads to ketosis
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
- Support adrenal function and energy production
- It is recommended to supplement with nutritional yeast .
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
- A lack of it can lead to fatigue, anxiety, and leg cramps.
- Similarly, it can be supplemented through nutritional yeast.
🧂 Sodium + potassium deficiency: Cell battery failure
- Ketosis combined with fasting causes the body to lose more water → mineral loss.
- Sodium (sea salt) + potassium (vegetables) are key to maintaining intracellular and extracellular electrolyte balance.
- The sodium-potassium pump requires both to function → to support nerve and muscle function.
🔸 Recommended daily intake:
- 7–10 cups of vegetables (potassium)
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt (sodium)
🧲 Magnesium deficiency: Impaired ATP energy production
- Magnesium is an essential element for the production of ATP (the body's energy currency).
- Vegetables contain magnesium, and electrolyte powder can also be added as an extra supplement.
- Replenishing can immediately improve fatigue.
🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "ketosis equals energy." Knowing how to supplement your nutrition is key to truly having energy.
The ketogenic diet plus fasting isn't something everyone adapts to well at first. The body needs time to adjust its fuel system and requires sufficient nutritional support. Starting today, a spoonful of sea salt, a cup of nutritional yeast, and a dish of dark green vegetables will lay the foundation for your energy system!
Don't be misled by the myth that "ketosis equals instant power." True health comes from knowing how to supplement minerals, avoid distractions, and adjust your lifestyle! 💪⚡🥬
