So I’ve read up on everything and have of course heard of keto flu and have definitely experienced some of the symptoms. I seem to have gotten a cold along the way. I just started this week and it seems this cold came out of nowhere and hit hard. Only 2 days into the cold and blowing green snot. This is not a normal cold at all! Could it be keto flu? I feel like ketosis somehow kicked free a virus that was dormant. What are your thoughts?
Keto flu? Green snot

You have healthy snot

“…When you get sick, your mucus eventually starts to thicken. … Green mucus is a sign that your body’s immune system is at work. The color comes from a type of infection-fighting white blood cell. “With cold or flu, mucus starts clear, then begins to darken as it gets thicker," …” …More

It’s not a symptom of keto flu. Keto flu is not a disease or a virus, it’s typically an electrolyte imbalance. You won’t get “sick” and you won’t be contagious.

It was more of wondering whether I had weakened my immune system by going full-blown and not easing into a keto diet. I was already doing intermittent fasting and then I decided to go to a ketogenic intermittent fasting diet. I was told that I shocked my system and I wondered if that would have affected my immune system causing me to get sick easier.
