Ketogenic Diet

I have just lost 46lb and am starting a keto low carb high fat diet to achieve high energy levels and reduce blood sugar fluctuations that result from eating carbs. Does anyone have any guidance for a keto diet beginner?

Join the Low Carber Daily MFP group. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group We have quite a few keto'ers there and a very detailed launch pad to read.

My advice would be to increase sodium up to 3000-5000 mg per day, or 1-2 teaspoons of salt. Water losses will lead to low electrolytes which will cause headaches, fatigue, nausea, brain fog, muscle aches and spasms. Keeping sodium high will minimize that.

Best wishes.
