Keto Crash after Weeks of Feeling Amazing


#1

Hello ketofans. Since about 6 weeks ago, I’ve been converted - by going lowcarb I got my energy back, my headaches are gone, and I’m feeling amazing all around.

Now something strange happened this week. Firstly my appetite went away. I chew food and then swallowing it is a chore. Then I started feeling low again, like I have for years. My blood ketone levels are going up to 7 mmol/L, which is higher than usual. And I regained back 2-3 kilograms over three days - a this point I can only assume in water-weight. What’s going on?

Could I have eaten something bad? We made some fried chicken the night before this whole ordeal started. But it’s just oil and chicken…

Any thoughts?

Oil? hope not seed oil.
Possibly too few calories - you are not calorie restricting, I hope?
Enough salt and hydration?
