No carb flu here. Just fatigue. This isn't my first rodeo - I just have never had so much fatigue, it's usually just headaches and body aches. I am taking Diamox for a condition and that also affects my potassium levels. I've actually read quite a few paleo/low carb books (I love Gary Taubes books) and follow Chris Kesser…

Wow. Okay. Thanks for responding - the last part is a bit insulting though. You may want to consider your words before posting.

I'm not taking a sodium supplement but I do add quite a bit to all my meals. Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt. I have read from two paleo/low carb doctors that potassium is the most important and it regulates sodium. Our bodies apparently don't need a ton but if we're potassium difficient then our body doesn't distribute…

Thank you! Sounds so good!

( Lol. It cut off the rest of my post. ) I'm just so ready to live the life I want and stop watching it pass me by. I'm even more excited that my Hubby has decided to join me in this process. Although he will not go super low carb right away because we are focusing on foods to heal his high blood pressure first. I'm just…

Thank you!! It's been going well. I just have an internal motivation that I haven't had in years. I just know, deep down that this is my time to make a real change. I haven't had many cravings and really haven't felt the desire to give up.

Question. How long should I continue supplementing to reduce carb flu? I'm sure there's not an exact cut off but is it when I'm fat adapted? Or is there another point in the process when I should think about removing the supplements? Thanks!

Thank you!! I love that idea. How long do you usually cook at that temp?

I'm three days in and j just want to thank you guys for the advice. So far I've only had had minimal carb flu symptoms, a mild headache and fatigue, (much different than last rim I did this) but despite drinking a ton of water my body feels really swollen like I'm retaining a ton of water and my legs and joints are achy…

Hi everyone! This seems like a great group of people. I'm happy that I joined. glossbones - I'm not sure if others found the group this way, but I found it from a forum post where someone had provided a link to the group to someone asking about LCHF eating.

Well day 1 is going well. Thanks again to everyone for their kind words!! I am really glad to finally take the plunge and start making positive changes. I also signed up for Daily Burn so I can start working in some excercise in the mornings. I have also decided to get up and move more at work - I sit at a desk typically…

Even though I'm feeling pretty crappy from drinking too much yesterday, I still went to the store to stock up on some good food - something I would typically let keep me from making a good choice. I am cooking some low carb beef stew for lunch this week; boiling some eggs and I have some bacon thawing. I do deserve to feel…

Thank you ms_smartypants and nvmomketo!! I will definitely do that - I don't think I did that in the past. I found this article: http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2013/04/16/Keto-flu-and-Sufficient-Intake-of-Electrolytes I'll go to a supplement store tomorrow to find some.
