    Hi, all, just started keto diet. Would love to friend you. I have been suffering what seems to be keto flu. Feeling so weird most of the time and can’t wait for the end of it... supposedly ketosis will set in then.

    Thanks for starting the conversation.

    I described keto flu as just feeling weird!!

    But as soon as that part was over, the energy and feeling was great!!!

    Best thing for keto flu is upping electrolytes.

    We take a 250 mg magnesium daily.
    We cook with sea salt.
    And add a very light sprinkle of potassium salt substitute.

    Good luck. I think Keto is way simpler than the internet makes it out to be.

    @snha check out the 'stickies' at the very top of the forum - The Launch Pad - everything you always needed to know about starting and troubleshooting keto.

    Hi everyone! Sent a bunch of friend requests on this thread. Hope it's ok. I'm more low carb than keto (usually around 30 net carbs... sometimes higher sometimes lower) trying to refocus after a bad health issue late last year resulting in weight gain.
    Thanks Lisa

    Same here, I keep carbs and calories in a range.

    Can get into ketosis 50 or under net carbs.. So you could get into a ketogenic state!

    I started keto after a medical issue caused a lot of weight gain, also.

    So far, so good!!!

    @Emmapatterson1729 Ohhhh, yes.
    Tuna in water is icky cat food in comparison. (I'll still use it in a pesto and edamame pasta dish, or with lots of mayo & hot lime pickle in a romaine boat - it works there and is cheaper)
    My favorite brand here: https://riomare.ca/product/tuna-in-olive-oil/

    Currently Tomato Basil and Pepper Jack are my preferred choices.

    Add a fork and toss the empty can in in the empty whisp's bag and lunch is done with little to clean up. :)

    I do not like cat food style of tuna either. Since I have to go to Walmart I usually get them there but have done the Amazon thing before.
