Day 2 Ketosis


(Surendra Balu) #1

Hello Folks,

Today is my second day in Ketosis. I tested the ketone levels using strips and the result is excellent but having few problems.

1.) Headache
2.) Nauseous
3.) Bloating
4.) Diarrhea

Feeling to give up this. If someone felt like same, how many days will it take to get rid of these symposium.

Thanks
Surendra

Keep up your electrolytes: sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

Most keto flu (carb withdrawal) symptoms are from lack of sodium of water. Shoot for 2+ teaspoons (8 grams) of sodium and up to 8 cups (2 liters) of water per day. These should be spread out over the course of your day and should get you as right as rain in no time.

Welcome,

“Day 2” - doesn’t sound like you are in ketosis yet though. It takes about 48 hours to get rid of stored glycogen from muscles and liver … unless you are very active. Otherwise day 3 maybe…

Diarrhoea is a symptom of dehydration.

As Carl and others said, get plenty of water and salt. Daily.
