As your body transitions from carbohydrate burner to fat burner, you may experience what’s known as the "keto flu," or flu-like symptoms that begin shortly after you start the diet and that eventually go away. The exact reason why people may experience the keto flu isn’t known, according to Harvard Health. It doesn’t happen to everyone, FYI. But in a study published in the March 2020 Frontiers in Nutrition that analyzed online forums where people reported their keto flu symptoms, people described 54 different symptoms of the keto flu, most commonly headache, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, GI distress, decreased energy, faintness, and changes in heartbeat, Keto by Supraketo which started within several days of beginning keto, peaked after one week, and diminished after four weeks. If you’re not prepared for this feeling, you may think something is drastically wrong and give up on the diet completely. Furthermore, you can help yourself through the transition period of low energy by planning your meals and meal prepping, says Clevenger.

She recommends eating foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and sodium, as well as hydrating to ease keto flu symptoms. There are also electrolyte rehydration drinks that can help you replenish sodium, magnesium, and potassium levels, she says. Drinking fluid and getting in these electrolytes can help ease some, but not all these symptoms, according to a book on the ketogenic diet published by StatPearls. While fat reigns supreme on the diet, don’t just turn to bacon, cheese, and cream. There are both good and bad fats on keto! When choosing yours, aim to include healthy sources such as more anti-inflammatory omega-3s, particularly EPA and DHA, the type of fat found in salmon, sardines, oysters, herring, and mussels, says Clevenger. Other healthy fats are a good choice, too \ No newline at end of file
