5 Ways to Cope with Keto Flu | Keto Flu Snack

Keto Flu can be an unpleasant transitional phase when first getting into ketosis and can also be experienced by keto veterans if electrolytes are off or in the case of certain nutrient deficiencies. In this video, Ali and Becki talk about common keto flu symptoms, 5 ways to cope and make a tasty electrolyte rich snack that can combat headaches, muscle cramps and more!
Tips for Coping With Keto Flu
1. Hydrate! Drink a minimum of 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces daily and consider water infusions to flavor your water and make it more hydrating to your cells.
2. Add Salt. Aim for 2 tsp mineral-rich sea salt daily such as Redmond Real Salt. Use code ALIMILLERRD at checkout for savings.
3. Increase Potassium. This balances sodium in the body and aids in reducing muscle cramps and heart palpitations. Avocado and bacon are potassium-rich keto foods.
4. Focus on magnesium-rich foods including 2-3 cups leafy greens and supplement with magnesium bis-glycinate such as Relax and Regulate.
5. Bump up your carnitine intake! Consume grassfed red meat 3-4 times per week and consider Boost and Burn, especially if seeing low ketone output or extreme fatigue.

Thank you wonderful ladies, weirdly I’ve been eating the Keto way for almost 4 months and had not problems until two days ago, vomiting, horrendous muscle aches everywhere, headaches and most of the other symptoms you mention, my painful body was worse when I lay down. OMG I didn’t know what to do with myself, no sleep. My daughter told me about Keto flu and I found your channel, I made myself your electrolyte drink and in literally 5 mins the pain drained away! I couldn’t believe it. I have my mojo back. Thank you thank you so very much. From UK everything of the best! Cheers here’s to electrolytes made at home!

Celery one stalk, ginger a slice, half teaspoon tumeric blend together and drink down. I had the worst I tell you “keto flu” with weakness, brain fog, exhausted and my legs felt like bricks. After drinking this tonic in minutes I felt tons better. ❤

You ladies saved me today. I wasn't finding clear, concise symptoms of keto flu, so as to compare with my own symptoms. Fatigue, dizziness, severe brain fog, mild headaches, constipation. Having this info made me stronger and more determined. And your helpful suggestions are quite wonderful. Thanks! Stan

So grossed out at the “ diarrhea” aspect. Like going right through me, (the grease?🤢)and body aches, and at a loss at lack of appetite. Only 5 days in. Any advice pleeease

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Did you try any of the 5 recommendations?

[@justsuzy321]

Soooo, I should go cook a steak and put plenty of Redmonds salt on it. I dont eat plants anymore

[@naturallynourishedRD]

I'd still suggest bone broth, but yes more red meat for carnitine

[@chelseakapon3595]

Do you have any recommendations about children being on this diet?

What about caffeine and/or coffee when switching to a whole food keto diet?

[@beckiyoo9507]

Coffee is fine :)!

My increased heart rate comes with shortness of breath…just to give a context, first time keto with moderate carb intake, keeping milk and one fruit per day, and still, after 1 week into the diet I came across this problem I don t know how to solve and wonder how much will take to go away. I m 55 kg and 165 cm, if it counts..:(

[@naturallynourishedRD]

I would play with Relax & Regulate to support electrolyte balance and ensure you are getting plenty of mineral sea salt.
