Caloric Intake During Adaptation
Hey Guys, Just finished my first week on Keto and during that time I've been reading so many resources online and watching YT videos etc to make sure I'm approaching it right.

Having trouble sleeping on LCHF
My brain just won't switch off. I get up by 7am and train hard 5-6 days per week...I'm not even consuming caffeine atm. Usually under these circumstances I would be sleeping really well - the only thing that has changed is my diet so I'm just wondering has this happened to anyone else when eating low carb? What can be done…
