RiverRes's Journal, 10 February 2018

Day 13 of Keto. I feel different. Ketosis tested for and achieved on day 10. I am not sure how to go into all that I have noticed, but I will try.
1.) No more headaches, but I drink a LOT of water!
2.) Leg cramps, but not as bad as I had last summer. This happened after a day with less water than usual.
3.) Energy levels. Here is where I am confused. At times, I feel more energetic. While working out, not so much. It feels more labored. I also don't get the "High" I used to get after working out. I could just as much nap as anything else!
4.) Mood - better most days, but that may be because I am focused on my personal goals. Regardless, I feel more empowered right now and so I will say mood is right on target.
5.) First week's drop was all water. This week, I actually feel that the weight is body, not water.
6.) I worked out five days this week. Five days of a minimum half hour on the elliptical per day. Total work out time: Four hours, 15 minutes.

All in all, not bad. I am not hungry. I am not craving things as I had in the past. But, I also feel more accountable - like one french fry will send my body into fat storage rather than fat burning mode.

Great job!! I originally suffered headaches and muscle cramps with Keto due to low sodium and potassium. Upping my sodium and potassium has really helped = no “Keto flu.”

I also was going to mention be sure you have your electrolytes covered especially when exercising - you are doing great!

Full keto adaptation takes a couple of months. Early on, your muscle glycogen will be low, but your body will adjust and get back to normal levels.

You are making good progress. If the leg cramps persist you might want to talk with your doctor about your electrolytes or you might need to supplement your magnesium.
