In this short video, the speaker outlines a practical approach for using a ketogenic diet as a strategic pre‑fasting tool. They recommend shifting to a very low‑carbohydrate, high‑fat, moderate‑protein regimen at least three days—and ideally a week—before beginning a fast. This pre‑transition eases the body into a fasted state. The speaker also highlights a common pitfall: electrolyte deficiency during keto or fasting. To mitigate this, they suggest consuming high‑sodium bouillon or adding salt to water, and they advocate for the use of ketone salts, which provide both electrolytes and a source of ketone‑derived energy without breaking the fast.

This is an example of when I would use a ketogenic diet strategically. So I would transition to the higher fat, very low carb, moderate protein diet, maybe at least 3 days before, ideally a week before or so. It makes it easier to transition into the fasted state. I would say also consider maybe even adding ketone salts to your routine because One of the biggest pitfalls and difficulties people have with a ketogenic diet in general, or fasting specifically, is inadequate electrolytes. And so oftentimes people say have bouillon, make soup out of this very high sodium bouillon, or take supplements or just add salt to water. But I like the hack of using the ketone salts because those are literally ketones that are giving you some energy. It's not breaking the fast and you're getting the salts.
