I started the Keto Diet 5 days ago. However, I've been feeling

Fiber would probably help

Fiberous vegetables, dude. Eat a big head of brocolli daily, and you'll be fine.

>>41401626
What should I eat for fiber?

>>41401626
yeah . fibrous foods will prob help .
for dehydration drink some pickle juice and wash it down with water

How could this happen?

>>41401652
Leafy veggies. Oat products.


Fuck broccoli.

>>41401610
>fell for the keto meme

just eat clean

>>41401690
Can't eat oats on keto though. I still don't have an appetite, and the thought of eating more veggies literally makes me want to gag right now...

>>41401729
>>41401669
I just wanted to give it a try, but if I'm better by tomorrow,then fuck this.

how are there people on the internet who literally still think this?

>>41401610
Fuck keto. I tried it for about 2 months and my headaches never went away, felt like shit the whole time. Next cut I'm not going to be doing that shit again.

Sooooo...the symptoms I'm experiencing are normal for keto flu?

>>41401860
Yes. Your body is adapting to using ketones for fuel. Eat more vegetables.

Make sure you eat enough fat to meet your caloric requirements as well

>>41401669
>carbohydrates
>essential

?

>>41401879
I'll try. How long does this bullshit last? I have like zero appetite right now.

Depends on you, your diet previously, your physical health

Keto kills the appetite so you may just have to get used to that, but as for cramping and stuff make sure you drink water and eat plenty of sodium and potassium

lyle mcdonald recommends like 5g of sodium and 2-3g potassium a day on keto because your body flushes it out much faster

>>41401898
how is that a bad thing? your body is burning fatty acids for energy. therefore you don't need to eat very much.

>>41401920
Thanks, gonna try that.

>>41401925
It's bad because I keep pissing out my ass every half hour and I have no will to eat or drink without gagging. I'm worried about dehydration.

>>41401951
take some salt

edit: just saw that someone else recommended it

>>41401934
Yeah. Electrolytes. Keto is a diuretic diet. When I feel like shit a quick gulp of pickle juice perks me back up.

>>41401894
your brain needs carbs to survive

some parts of the brain can use ketones, but not all

talk to your nutritionist before drastically changing any diet, >>41401610

>>41401610
It might be an actual flu. But, when I don't eat any carbs for a few days, I get dizzy easily. I did 455lb rack pulls 3 days into a cut last week, and almost passed out. It gave me the spins, was scary. Anyways, restore your glycogen with some carbs if you feel dizzy. Supposedly the symptoms of keto flu subside after like a week

>>41402364
Do you have a link to the science of the brain to back that up? Honestly curious.

Also, I'm on day 8 of keto and have had a slight headache here and there but no other symptoms of the 'flu'. I drink plenty of water and get a decent amount of sodium. Plan on gradually increasing my carb intake once I lose plenty of weight.

>>41402470
He's wrong. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201104/your-brain-ketones

I was in the same exact situation as you. Infact i believe u were in the thread i made about this. I stopped doing keto yesterday morning and i feel fine 100% now. Except i didint have diarrhea. I did eat a lot of spinach/coconut flour/flax and other fiber keto foods. Fuck keto, its the biggest meme of all

>>41404239

How do people react so differently to keto? When I'm on it I feel great: less bloated, clearer head, more stable, never hungry, and more energy. After cycling on and off carbs many times, at this point I'm sticking to keto if for nothing else just for the reason that I feel much better on it.

>>41401610

Are you practicing intermittent fasting along with the keto? Eat 1x big fucking meal a day and fast until the next day.

>>41401610
With keto diet you need to get clean my man, lots of fruit and vegetables, very little dairy and meats... or your body will feel it like crazy...
the diarrhea is just your body cleaning itself, finally it gets a chance to flush all the shit you've been ingesting all your life!

F

>>41404382
Yea, I'm doing IF as well.

>>41404489
I've been eating 25-30 carbs a day. Also, I just drank 1/4 cup of pickle juice and feel a little better. If this doesnt go away bt Saturday, I'm taking >>41404239 advice.

>>41401610
>>REALLY bad Diarrhea

God damn. Just how shitty were you eating prior to this diet?

1. Drink a shit ton of water. Your body needs electrolytes.

2. Fiber. Psyllium supplement is recommended.

3. As others said, you may need more salt. But I'd be hesitant to go out of your way and add some as you should be getting plenty of sodium from pork and beef consumption.
>>41401729
>Being a carb fuck boi

What did he mean by this?

>>41404442
Anon keto is mostly meats and leafy greens only. Kiss beans, broccoli, anything with a root goodbye. Only fruit you can get away with is avocados and some berries.

>>41405025
>God damn. Just how shitty were you eating prior to this diet?
I didn't think my diet was too shitty. I'd been cutting with IF for like 4 months. I guess the issue is that I was eating carbs with every meal (mainly rice and sweet potatoes), but I was eating at a caloric deficit so I didn't think much of it.

>>41405072
What is your IF split? I've been doing keto for 1.5 years and never had the problems you described. I tried IF for around a few days + keto with a 16/8 and only noticed my shits became huge wooden logs. Without the fiber supplements keto was tearing my ass up and clogging toilets.

For your case only thing I can think of is that your body can't digest all the food you're eating in your window. Perhaps gradually easing off the carbs instead of diving head first would work better. Assuming you don't want to give up IF.

>>41404395
>comparing human body to cars
the retardation never ends

>>41401652

Walnuts

>>41405162
I give myself a 7 hour eating window; 12pm-7pm.

I'm starting to think I should have eased into this. If I eat a bit of bread or rice or something, will it perk me up?

It just sucks because I have 2 kids (1 year old and 3 year old), and I've been out of commission since yesterday, so I've had little to no interaction with them since. Also, tonight is gym night, and there's no way I can make it if I'm still feeling drained and sick like I'm feeling now.

>>41405471
Only your body can say. When I started I was pretty much eating a good chunk of carbs 1 day a week with a ton of cardio and never felt the effects. You're the most extreme case I've ever read, usually everyone feels better after a lot of water.

If you're measuring out everything then just ease into it while increasing the fats. Don't go overboard on beef/pork until you're eating less than 40g of carbs as you will still be burning carbs for energy.

One last thing, are you eating something unusually geasy? From my experience shit will pass through me like liquid if indulging in say a pizza.

>>41405650
No, nothing unusually greasy. I've basically been eating chicken and beef, a ton of veggies (spinach, broccoli, and asparagus) along with eggs, cheese, and bacon. I've been cooking everything in coconut oil, and the only things I've been drinking are Monster Zeros (half a can a day) and a ton of water.

I've heard that diarrhea was common when your body adjusts, but damn this just seems extreme to me. I'm genuinely worried if this is the keto flu, or a legit stomach flu.

>>41401610
You might try water fasting a few days. If you feel okay after a day or two, you can continue fasting.

>>41406080
Whats that got to do with keto? And how does that help op with his symptoms?

>>41406157

Theoretically, it should clear gut biota that feeds on grains and starches. Without botulissum killing the six million jewish bacteria, the zionist bacteria can create the fifth reich of gainz and painz.

>>41406157
Fasting puts you into ketosis. It is done along with keto diet by many when intermittent fasting.

He might have some shit in his body that his cells need to eat. If he's eating the cells will eat the food, not whatever is ailing like dead cells or bacteria in his stomach as an example.

He might be eating something that is causing the illness. Thus, fasting he would not be eating that thing(s).

You do not need carbohydrates to survive, you need glucose and through gluconeogenesis you can produce glucose from "non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.">>41401610
So you'll be fine you're probably low in electrolytes, id suggest taking potassium since its mostly found in carb sources.
