Need Support/ Low carb/keto friends

Hello, Cindy here. I myself started the keto 11 day ago. I lost 9 pounds!! However I've fallen off a couple times. Ive done my research, and no its not dangerous. So i encourage you to keep going, dont give up, stay strong💪 .

yes any diet can be dangerous. keto can be IF you eat too little calories due to being satiated by high amounts of fat and low carb. it can be dangerous for people like me who have familial hyperchoelesterolemia and for those who dont properly monitor and care for their diabetes(those who need meds but dont take them or dont take the right dose,etc.

the weight will come off fast at first because you are depleting glycogen stores and losing water which can lead to whats called the keto flu which is basically an electrolyte imbalance which the imbalance can be dangerous too which is why its recommended to get 3000-5000 mg of sodium a day along with getting enough magnesium and potassium to prevent that from happening.

as for those thinking its dangerous otherwise many think ketosis means ketoacidosis which it doesnt. you can eat whatever you want and lose weight if you are in a deficit of calories and keto works the same way as any other way of eating. if you overeat doing keto you will gain weight. its not a special way to lose weight. but it can help with several health issues.
