Keto buzz?


(Mandy) #1

Hi all,

Into week 2 for me. Around the end of last week, I started feeling something I can only equate to a small buzz. It’s a very weird sense of well being mixed with a slight feeling that that my head might come off of my body. I feel very … hmm…is amped the right word?? I only have one cup of joe in the mornings, so its not a caffeine high. Is this a normal feeling and does this last forever on keto?

Thanks for reading.

Very normal, though usually takes a bit longer for most to kick in. Its the ketones and having access to your body fat for fuel.

Personally I’m unsure if it has lasted forever… I’ve been keto now for 11 months and don’t notice it unless I supplement with MCT / Coconut oil.

Thank you allan…I was almost alarmed as its such an unknown feeling for me. Here’s hoping it lasts a while longer! :slight_smile:

It has also been called mental clarity, I have experienced it as a warm glow of happiness, and I’ve heard others talk about it in different ways.

Does it last? I think the feeling fades as you get used to living on fat. It just becomes normal. Normal but good!! KCKO.

The new normal is great! :wink:

For me, the natural high of the keto diet lasted a good 4 months, maybe more. I moved house and within 24 hrs of moving into my new house I had unpacked every single box. Energy was through the roof

@allan that’s awesome! Maybe I need to do some spring cleaning while the buzz is still around!
