Hello everyone..

I have been lurking here for a bit but just started keto today. Have a bunch of questions please? Would appreciate the help..

1. Today is day 1. And I already have a headache. Is that normal?
2. How do I calculate net carbs on mfp? It shows 54 grams of carbs today and I know I didn't eat any carb heavy food.
3. Anyone looking to buddy up in this? Would be fun to have a buddy to do this with..

Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Mads

    1. It can be. Have some salt...I have 1/4 tsp in 4 oz of water with a squirt of lemon when I'm needing salt.
    2. Track your fiber and subtract the fiber contained in vegetables from your carb total.
    3. Feel free to add me. I don't post much of my own on my wall, but try to interact when friends post things.

    @aduhmads - I can't stress how much better off you will be if you start with the Launch Pad

    You can absolutely avoid the "keto flu" by following the instructions in here. I never had any issues with it at all.
