Summer's been an absolute mess and it's time for me to get my act together. A couple of friends suggested I try a keto diet and I figured, why not. So second day in and I'm going through carb withdrawals complete with headaches. Hopefully, I'll get through this transition period soon enough. I am surprised at my lack of hunger.

Add more salt. The headaches are from the withdrawal from glucose and flushing water. Salt will help. I like the Knorr Caldo de Pollo with a little butter in it.

It takes about a week for your body to adjust to no carbs. It WILL get better, the Keto flu usually only lasts a few days. 9 days in and I feel A LOT better already.

Keto flu - that certainly describes how I'm feeling. I need to read up a bit more on this. Meanwhile, I'm going to try the additional salt idea. Many thanks for all the positive feedback and wonderful support!

Welcome to keto. I hope you adapt quickly.

Keep in mind, carbs are what give you energy. Keeping a balance between carbs, fat, and protein and incorporating resistance training 3 days a week and cardio training twice a week may give you better results than a strict keto diet.
