    Remedies for the “Keto Flu”

    You might be wonder what the Keto Flu is. Well let me tell you the Keto Flu is a group of symptoms that may appear two to seven days after starting a ketogenic diet. Headache, foggy brain, fatigue, irritability, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and constipation are just some of the symptoms of this condition.

    Here are some remedies.

    Drink a Ton of Water :

    When you go keto, your body initially loses quite a bit of water weight; This is because stored carbohydrates in your body hold onto water, and when you reduce the amount of carbs in your diet, the water is released. So Drinking water regularly is very important.

    Replace Electrolytes:

    It’s important to increase your intake of certain minerals when starting keto, to ensure you get enough. In particular, you’ll want to get more sodium, potassium and magnesium.

    Make Sure You’re Getting Enough Fat: The reason you increase your fat so drastically on keto, is because it can help you reduce cravings and feel more satisfied. Plus, when you eat more fat along with moderate protein, your blood sugar stays balanced, which can also help reduce keto flu symptoms.
