<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the most frequent issues Dr. Nguyen encounters in her practice is disruptive fasting schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to her, a haphazard approach to fasting obstructs ketosis, which can lead to reduced fat burning and frequent setbacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s simple \u2013 you\u2019re either in ketosis or you\u2019re not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least that\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re just fasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why combining IF with keto is so beneficial \u2013 you can sustain ketosis through nutrition as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, that means you have to stay on track with both. I\u2019ve consulted patients who struggled with weight fluctuations until they adopted a more structured routine suited for both diets,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy patients who have embraced a structured routine, especially over a period of three months or more, often see up to a 30% improvement in their weight loss results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have observed this with patients who stick to a 3-month or longer plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Nguyen\u2019s advice: <\/strong>\u201cDon\u2019t try to do it all on your own. You will just burn out. People often struggle to stick to one regimen, let alone find the mental energy to combine two. I will always recommend a structured program that is designed specifically to ease the burden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Nguyen often sees clients struggle with nutritional imbalances when supplementing IF with keto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe allure of quick results can lead to extreme restriction sometimes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my practice, I\u2019ve witnessed cases where this led to deficiencies, impacting not just physical health but also mental well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you over-restrict, there is a risk of missing essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This can counteract the benefits of weight loss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I recall a patient who tried a DIY approach \u2013 strictly following keto and fasting. However, since he\u2019s not a keto expert nor a cook, his meals were often repetitive\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the worst part was that this approach caused some nutritional deficiencies, leading to fatigue and digestive issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention that every day on his self-designed regimen felt like a chore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n He came to me asking to help with diversifying his meal plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His symptoms improved, he\u2019s happier, and his weight loss continued.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Nguyen\u2019s advice: <\/strong>\u201cHave variety in your keto diet. You\u2019re already fasting \u2013 give yourself the go-ahead to actually enjoy a treat, even if it\u2019s keto!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, a common oversight Dr. Nguyen encounters is individuals adopting keto and fasting without considering if it\u2019s the right fit for their health profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKeto and fasting are powerful tools, but they\u2019re not universally suitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, individuals with certain medical conditions or dietary restrictions might find these approaches more harmful than beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Nguyen shares, \u201cI had a client who was enthusiastic about starting keto and fasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, after a thorough health assessment, we discovered that her hypoglycemic tendencies would be exacerbated by this regimen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, we worked on a modified plan that suited her condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Nguyen\u2019s advice<\/strong>: \u201cPlease have your individual needs assessed. This will not only lead to better outcomes, but also make sure you\u2019re not biting off more than you can chew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution is a personalized keto + fasting diet that takes your age, physical shape, food preferences and medical conditions into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t have access to a nutritionist service, this is the next best thing\u201d, says Dr. Nguyen. \u201cIt will have all the difficult parts figured out for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In less than a couple of minutes, you can receive a personalized keto meal plan and access to a fasting tracker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How\u2019s that for getting you into a state of fat-burning ketosis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, simply follow your personalized plan for at least 28 days\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll start seeing fantastic results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the whole time you will experience increased energy, fewer food cravings, and a better mood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adopting a ketogenic diet together with intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a highly effective approach for rapid weight loss.
