Keto?

Question

I’ve just started the Keto Diet yesterday, and I’m already struggling with low energy and feeling very weak. Has anyone who’s been on the Keto Diet for an extended period of time got any tips me to get through the first week or so, I’d super appreciate it!!

Answer

My friends husband did it and lost about 40lbs. He said if you can make it through the “Keto flu phase” you can do it! Basically your body is trying to use fat as energy instead of carbs so for up to two weeks you’re going to feel crappy and exhausted. But don’t give into any cravings because you’ll take your body out of ketosis! There’s an awesome video on YouTube explaining what your body is doing, although I know that wasn’t your question. My advice is stick with it and make sure you’re doing it right or else you’ll gain weight from all the extra fat (like my husband 😅🙄)

Answer

Please be careful with keto. Aside from keto flu, crotch, and breath. You can also end up with blood pressure and cholesterol issues, constipation etc. It’s not meant for long term just to jump start a diet. Yes you can lose weight but at what cost. Do it the right way exercise and calorie deficit. I lost 87 pounds in a year just walking and eating better. High protein high fiber and low sugar low salt and mostly granola for bread carbs. Be careful and be safe.

Answer

I never experienced the keto flu when I did keto for 7 months. I immediately felt super energetic and my normal digestion problems disappeared within a week. The change in electrolytes and nutrients that most people don’t account for is what causes that keto flu so make sure your electrolytes are balanced and take vitamins for what you’re now probably lacking by changing your diet.

I personally can’t do keto it’s to hard for me since the food restriction is so much even tho it does help you lose a bunch of weight pretty fast but I also do low calorie you get more food choices just less intake and you lean more toward the healthier choices without actually cutting out any food, my pa ya do keto and they often eat a lot a lot of meat to keep there energy up of if it’s a a few slices of lunch meat rolled up every few hours snacking. Healthy often is important in any diet
