I felt miserable on Keto the first two times I tried it. I’ve found doing fasting in the month prior helped with the adaptation and a large part of the misery was loss of electrolytes.

By using electrolyte powder I only really had one or two really miserable days this time round.

Very interesting. I'll try it out with electrolytes. What did you take as electrolytes supplement?

Interesting. How long have you been doing keto this time?

Only week 3, but finding it pretty great this time round, ketones actively suppressing appetite, eating about 2 meals a day, down about 6kg so far. I still fast a couple of times a week, but being in ketosis already makes it crazy easy. Have enough energy for gym, though power slightly down.

I hear people can hit a wall about 8 weeks in, but also hear that could be down to over-consuming seed oils. Will see how it goes.

Interesting to know, thanks.
