After dabbling ineffectively for a month or so, I'm on Day 4 of really doing it and feeling that flu. I did keto a couple years ago and didn't have the flu symptoms until I stopped.....

I’m sure you know this, but make sure you’re getting enough electrolytes. That really helped me on week 2 (after suffering for a week)

When i had the keto flu, it was the worst headache of my life and terrible brain fog. Happened on day 3 but only lasted two days. I drank pickle juice to help with that and the leg cramps. Also, electrolytes are your friend. I even drank some Powerade Zero (yes, Keto police it has artificial sugars) but it was the only thing available that helped me push through. Switched to Ultima when i had the strength to go buy some.

It is bad — but it won’t be long and then your energy will be amazing afterwards. Keep on ketoing....

Cool, I have that stuff maybe need to tinker with amounts. Good advice!
