FATIGUE AND FOG
As your body starts to depend less on glucose and more on ketones, you may initially experience some mental and physical fatigue, such as decreased endurance, weakness and/or “brain fog.”
Drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous activity during the early phase of keto. Give your body and brain a boost with supplemental ketones and by enhancing ketone production throughout the day with KetoWorks products.

"FLU-LIKE" SYMPTOMS
As you reduce your carb intake, your body is replacing the glucose-derived fuel with fat-fueled ketones. This can cause you to lose lots of fluids (ketones act as a natural diuretic) that have been retained in your body. With that retained water you also lose electrolytes like sodium, magnesium and potassium. A decrease in electrolytes can cause flu-like symptoms, such as nausea, headaches, cramps, and fatigue.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and get enough salt by adding it to foods. Supplement with vitamins, minerals, and the support of your KetoWorks™ products.
Energize with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts and ketogenic amino acids in powder or liquid form.†
Replenish your system with three supplements in one-premeasured daily pack for essential vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.†
BUY NOWDIGESTIVE DISCOMFORT
Changing up your diet can lead to digestive issues, such as diarrhea and constipation (the most common digestive side effect). This is mostly caused by dehydration or the loss of fiber in your diet that you were getting previously in high-carb fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Drink plenty of water and eat those non-starchy, green leafy vegetables! Spinach, cabbage, and kale are excellent choices for your keto lifestyle. Support and rebalance your digestive system with a daily probiotic.
