🌷 you might notice...
the "keto flu" can happen at first:
⋆ headaches
⋆ tiredness
⋆ brain fog
⋆ feeling a little grumpy
these are usually temporary and may improve with hydration and electrolytes ♡
be patient!!
ᥬᩤ many people enter ketosis in about 2–7 days, but everyone's body is different ₍ᐢ. ̫ .ᐢ₎
don't compare your timeline to someone else's ♡
🍥gentle movement helps!!
walking, cycling, or other exercise can help your body use up stored carbs a little faster, i usually aim for 10k steps a day ♡
a peaceful walk is always nice especially with my fav songs by tomorrow x together✧
🐰ྀི don't forget water!
when you first start keto, your body loses more water than usual.
remember to:
♡ drink lots of water
♡ get enough sodium
♡ potassium
♡ magnesium
your body will thank you・ ༝ ・
₊˚⊹♡ eat enough protein:
protein helps support your muscles while you're eating fewer carbs ♡
options:
୨୧ eggs
୨୧ chicken
୨୧ fish
୨୧ tofu
୨୧ greek yogurt (watch the carbs!)
🍓ྀི lower your carbs
most people need to eat around 20–50g net carbs per day to enter ketosis (everyone is a little different!)
try reducing:
⋆ bread
⋆ rice
⋆ pasta
⋆ sweets
⋆ sugary drinks
⋆ pastries
