Once you’re a week in full ketosis, I woke up like a new born human. However the flunctuation of carbs can offset that on days you eat a little bit kore carbs. To counteract that I’ve always taken a ketone supplement on those days to bring me back to level

I usually go keto for 6 weeks, and follow a low carb high protein diet for another 2-3 months. While I do keto, I’ll occasionally have cheat carb days and eat around 50-75 grams followed with some ketone supplements I usually never fall off cycle.

I remember having a lot of insomnia in the beginning. Make sure you are keeping up with your magnesium (and other electrolytes), especially if you are also working out.

Too sleepy or not sleeping well enough???

I started 4 weeks ago. I’ve been waking up early in the morning (5 or 6 am) feeling full of energy. Took probably 2 weeks to get there.

Perfect. OMAD. As long as I get enough sleep. It lasts all day without highs and lows that driven by glucose up and down.
