Many people experienced the “keto flu” in the first week or two after starting their ketogenic (keto) diet. This happened as the body adapts to the new way of getting energy, that is, transitioning from breaking carbohydrates into glucose by secreting insulin to the bloodstream to burning fats in the liver and creating ketones. The body needed time to adjust to the new environment and as a result, has led to many people experiencing symptoms, which can include headache, constipation, fatigue, etc. It is normal to experience the keto flu. However, there are ways to reduce these symptoms, such as increasing your intake of salt, electrolytes and bone broth (if you are not vegan/vegetarian). You can consult your Keto Coach or health professional on how you can reduce your keto flu symptoms.
