I'm on day 3 and so lethargic0 -
Today I'm restarting keto. Last time I lost 24lbs in about 6 weeks. I'm really looking forward to being comfortable in my own skin again. I'd love some keto pals on here! Please add me if you'd like.0

It will pass. It's something called the keto flu that lots of people go through in the beginning. There are some tips for how to get past it quicker online. Mine luckily hit over the weekend, so I could just wait it out.0 -
I've been doing keto for about 8 weeks now and have lost nearly 28lbs. I did 2 weeks of under 20g net carbs in the beginning and have since allowed myself up to 30g net carbs daily. It's definitely something I plan to keep on doing once I get to my goal weight. Got a spiralizer and discovered a larger number of amazing recipes with cauliflower rice and spiralized veggies. 57 days in and I haven't fallen off the grain waggon yet1

I am coming up to the end of my Week 3 and have lost around 5 kgs (11 pounds). It took me around 10 days to be in a regular Ketosis state and am now powering on. The attractive part of this diet is you can still live on (real food) instead of shakes and soups etc. (If that is your thing all good, just didn't work for me). Another positive is I can't remember the last time I have had so much energy. The only negatives are you may get sugar cravings at the start, which do pass and also I felt lethargic the first week. I was also getting headaches as a part of the Keto flu which have also gone. Enjoying it so far.0

Your electrolytes are out of balance. Up your salt intake immediately. When you follow a Keto WOE, your body will require a MINIMUM of 3,000mg-5,000mg of sodium, every singe day. The easiest way to get that amount of sodium is to dissolve a bouillon cube in the appropriate amount of water and drink the resulting broth. Drink 2 cubes daily. Also drink pickle juice or olive juice and eat pickle or olives.
I suggest for all the newbies in this thread that you head on over and check out the following main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:

@LexyGetsFitUK..."Keto Flu" is completely avoidable simply by doing ones research and paying careful attention to the electrolytes one in consuming.1 -
Hi! I'm new to Keto too. So happy to have found this discussion. I think I'm doing everything correctly and lost 6 lbs in the first week. But another week down and I've actually GAINED a lb back. It makes no sense. I even dropped my calories from 1300 to 1200 to 1100. I just dropped them again today to 1000 in hopes that I can show more gains. My keto stick tells me I'm in ketosis, but the weight is not coming off. Anyone else experience this? Feel free to add me, I'm looking for some good support TIA!1

@GatorGirlKA...what is your current height and weight? Going on pure speculation here, it sounds to me as though you've possibly dropped your calorie intake far too low. 6lbs in one week is a GINORMOUS loss so be patient. Again, highly recommend the following group:

Supplement electrolytes. Pickle juice is a good bet.0 -

When first starting low carb, you will experience a lot of water weight loss as you shed glycogen. The amount of time this takes can vary widely from person to person.1 -
I'm avidly thinking about keto or some form of it, but I hear Mitochondrial Metabolic Therapy (MMT) is a bit better and ever so slightly different. Doing some general search on here I have not found any commentary on this so can anyone comment on the differences/benefits of MMT vs keto?1
