Hi ya
I'm struggling at the moment with lack of energy and tiredness . I kinda know I'm doing it wrong by not eating enough fat. Are there any uk ketoers that are happy to share their diary with me to help me get on the right track? thanks x

    My guess is low electrolytes versus not enough fat in regards to the lack of energy and tiredness. If you don't have a medical reason to limit sodium you should likely have intake of 3000 to 5000 mg per day. Ketogenic diets generally cause the kidneys to dump fluid and with it goes the electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium).

    If your calorie deficit is too steep that can cause lethargy also.

    Thanks so much for your reply. Iv been putting lo salt in my bpc, taking magnesium at night and pink salt in my water..however iv not been measuring the salt out. I'm going to start tracking all foods from now on,not just the carbs. I really want to feel the energy and mental clarity iv been reading about.
