I started my second keto diet in June. About 10 days into it, I experienced a surge in energy. I started waking up with the sun and going for hikes. When I returned from hiking, I’d get started on projects–working in the yard, cleaning out the closet, starting something new. I was thrilled. True, I wasn’t getting enough sleep, but I was getting so much done! I was also feeling wonderful and my mental energy was keener. But after a week and a half, I started sleeping later and my newfound energy vanished. I didn’t change anything about my diet. I’d love to know what happened, what changed and how I might get that energy back. Anybody have any ideas?
Where did the energy go?

Could be not enough calories. That’s easy to do in the beginning. We’ve been trained to think less calories less calories less calories. I had to increase mine and was shocked and amazed when I started losing weight and feeling better. Crazy new world, in a fabulous way!

Boy, I’d love it if that were the answer. I’ll try it and see. Do you notice a significant increase in your energy level?
