    Hello! I started on Jan 3. Down 6 pounds. Not snacking, not hungry, not missing sugar...so weird. Hopefully your symptoms will go away soon. I didn't really have any side effects. I will send a friend request, if ya like?!

    I started 1-6
    Down 4 lbs
    Not suffering the usual insane cravings/hunger pangs at all
    But yes I have had headaches on and off. But I woke up this morning feeling GREAT. Hope that lasts.

    I started 1-2 (again) after being off the last month or so... down about 6 lbs as of today, and for anyone who's been having headaches, I highly suggest taking a magnesium supplement, helps a bit w/ the headaches and if you get any muscle cramps :) + drinking lots & lots of water

    Hi there! I am not new to the keto diet, I have been on a low carb diet (with a few times falling off the wagon) since 2013. I've lost 162 lbs so far and when I feel myself starting to slip and letting more carbs and processed foods back in my diet, I will take it back to keto. One thing you can do to help with the headaches is drinking broth to replace the sodium your body will lose during the keto process. Pretty soon, the energy should kick in and you should start feeling really good! The only other suggestion I can offer is to make sure you are getting the needed fat to replace the lack of carbs and not too much protein. Good luck!!
