New here and 3 weeks in ketosis


(Carrie ) #1

Hi all. New to this forum and new to keto. I started on Dec 28th and was in ketosis within 2 days. I have no major health issues (and want to keep it that way) just wanted to feel better and lose 30 pounds. I’ve lost 9 of those 30 so far. I have experienced a wide range of symptoms with my body adapting to this new way of eating. I’ve had a few headaches, night sweats (the first week), and nausea on and off. I found that drinking more water and taking Himalayan salt crystals fixed that. I usually have dry mouth in the mornings no matter how much water I drink. I will say I feel better overall and I’m excited to see the results of how I feel after 6 months…a year…etc. just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know this forum has already been extremely helpful! Oh and I forgot to mention I’m killing my husband with my breath! :joy::woman_facepalming:

The good thing is, it gets better - at least it did for me after about a month. I don’t feel I have keto breath anymore.

Congratulations on your progress.

Welcome to the forum!

I started out wanting to lose 30 lbs. The first 20 came off pretty steady. Then I stalled for a couple of months. I had never tried fasting so I gave it s try. It broke my stall and I slowly lost the last 10.

I thought I was done… but I wasn’t. I continued to fast at least once a month for health and my weight gradually drifted down another 10 lbs for a total of 40.

I am 2 years on keto and the first 30 took a year and the last 10 was in year 2 without really trying.

Good luck!

This is me too. I don’t even think about being without my Hydro-Flask at night or on the go. I use just ice water at night by the bed. In the morning I add magnesium citrate and a couple of vitamin D3 drops and take it to work.
