Keto Flu got me on Day 6 :(


(Heather Meyer) #1

100% truth… I got cocky and thought i had totally passed by the whole Keto flu thing since i had made it six days in… but then BAM! Day 6 and all of the sudden i have a raging headache and joint aches and feel like keto crud-muffins. :frowning:
So… gotta go hit the salty tea.
Keto on

Ah, you’ve done your research! Congratulations. :+1:

But everyone forgets from time to time. I can tell when my salt is slipping because I’ll start to get a migraine, or I’ll be constipated.

BTW, you probably know this already, but aim for 2-1/2 teaspoons of salt a day, and drink to thirst. KCKO! :bacon:

Just an FYI, but I’ve read that you can get this anytime, not just in the beginning. But believe I’ve also read it’s more common during the start. … Though I’ve had a few days of not feeling well, I think it was more of a head cold, and this was after a couple/few months into Keto. So I don’t believe I’ve ever had what some refer to as Keto-Flu. - But others with more information on this subject might be able to confirm or dispute this? :slight_smile:
