Third Day Brain Fog and Moodiness - Need Encouragement!

[KetoKato]

Hi there! After researching keto for months and constantly being unhappy with my body weight/composition, I finally dove into keto on Monday. Day three and I’m proud I’ve made it this far! I’ve dropped 3 lbs, which I’m sure is just water weight, but it’s still encouraging considering nothing I’ve done before has moved the scale AT ALL.

My problem is that I am at work right now and I CANNOT FOCUS. I feel extremely out of it, annoyed at everyone, and also like I might cry any minute. This is unusual for me. Any tips?

Thanks in advance! Glad to be part of this community.

I believe it was day 3 or 4 for me when I said to myself that there is absolutely no way that this can be good for me if I’m feeling this way. I watched a few videos on Keto flu, had some salt, took a walk, and it has been smooth sailing for the most part since then. You’re putting your body under quite a bit of stress by switching fuels. This isn’t easy for most people. Trust in the process and you’ll come through on the other side healthier as a result.

It is very important that you check with your doctor before consuming Lite Salt, as it contains potassium. Do not over consume Lite Salt! I normally only drink two bottles of KetoAide a day and only add 1/4 teaspoon Lite Salt to each bottle. Do not supplement this with additional teaspoons of Lite Salt! That’s too much potassium! Again check with your physician before consuming Lite Salt. [image] [image] 290 mg sodium 350 mg potassium 75 mg magnesium

Hopefully this can be encouraging.

I’ve been living keto 19 months now, and I can’t remember how I felt that first week we started.

What I can remember are all the times I felt good and energetic. The times I got up and started cleaning the kitchen, or went outside to do some yard work, for no other reason than I just felt like it. All the times I went for a walk with my wife, because we could and we felt like it, not because we thought we had to to be healthy, we were healthy. (Before keto, Lisa could hardly walk a few blocks, and she always had trouble going up and down any stairs.)

These are the things I remember, and cherish, from eating keto. That first week? Really can’t remember.

Use the Ketoaide recipe posted above and you will not experience that again. I drink one every day and have never experienced Keto Flu and I am 15 weeks in.
