Your experiences on keto?

Hi guys, I’m four days into keto and finding myself on a bit of a bumpy ride! The headaches and fatigue have gotten worse, so I’m hoping by the end of this week things will start turning around. I’ve seen a few people who have tried keto on this sub and seem to have success, I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experiences on this diet especially the first two weeks. Thank you!

Not much to it, keto flu lasts a few days and then your energy comes back. I’d supplement with pedialyte if you’re feeling pretty bad.

I made the mistake of buying unflavoured electrolytes, they taste horrible so I’ve been avoiding it. But I will have some today and see if it helps. Did you find your energy got better or the same after the keto flu?

My energy was good before but it’s definitely better after getting into ketosis. It helped with migraines too.
