Need Tips and Tricks

(Renee) #1

Hi All,
I’m new to Keto. Since January I have been cutting down on carbs. Before I started Keto I had lost 13.4 lbs. I started keto about three weeks ago and I have lost another 5.4 lbs. I have brought my A1C level down from 7.1 (November 2017) to 6.4.

I have good and bad days as far as how I’m feeling. Some days I feel great, others I feel anxiety type symptoms…is this normal? Are there any tips or tricks to help with the symptoms?

Great work on lowering your weight and A1C!

Are you watching your salt and electrolytes?

I have been watching my salt, but not my electrolytes…

You may want to supplement magnesium and potassium or eat foods containing them and see if that makes you feel better.

How low is your carb intake now?

Agree on magnesium, if I neglect mine I can end up dipping back into depressive problems.

I haven’t tried this kind myself but I hear mag glycinate is good for mood.
