Keto is very good if you can get past the "keto flu" in the beginning.

(Googles keto flu) that may explain my headache today! Or a coincidence

I am 6 weeks in on Keto and yes had the flu a bit. 2x since I knocked myself out of Ketosis once with carbs.

Great info in this 1hr video over on bodybuilder.com

You went over your 20 g of carbs and it knocked you out? I need to do some more reading I suppose! Thanks for the links

No the: 2x is meant as: two times, not 20 g of carbs. It was over 150 I am guessing. I test my ketones now with test strips. So I know a good general area of how well I am doing for ketosis.

Hi,

You don't have to suffer with the keto flu: adding salt is the answer. Generally, you need to stay under 40-60grams of net carbs to stay in ketosis but it takes some time to get your body to a point where is happily can stay in ketosis or return to it easily. Or so my understanding goes.

Lots of friends, knowledgeable people who have been successful at this for some time, as well as newcomers at:
