I wasnt eating a lot of carbs but i would still have ice cream and sweet potatoes and beer (on my cheat day). For the last week i've cut out all carbs except for veggie and nut carbs: spinach, carrots, broccoli, almonds, hemp seeds, coconut flour, flax seed. These i use in protein smoothies.</p> <p>The last week ive been more tired, brain fogged, edgy, and suffered from a constant headache and some gut issues. Is this the low carb flu ppl talk about?</p> <p>Do i stick with it? Add in more carbs? When do i know if i am fat adapted???</p> <p>I have added in bacon on more olive oil for fat but dont notice much of a difference. My protein has been: beef, bacon, tuna, muscles, chicken and turkey. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147376/is-this-the-low-carb-flu/147400#147400 Answer by CD for Is this the low carb flu CD 2012-09-05T19:53:48Z 2012-09-05T19:53:48Z <p>Low Carb Flu: <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/low-carb-flu/#axzz25cvZ9H50" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/low-carb-flu/#axzz25cvZ9H50</a></p> <p>Add in Carbs: <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dial-in-your-carb-count/#axzz25cvZ9H50" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dial-in-your-carb-count/#axzz25cvZ9H50</a></p> <p>Fat Adapted: <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fat-adapted/#axzz25cvZ9H50" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fat-adapted/#axzz25cvZ9H50</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fat-adapted-part-2-qa/#axzz25cvZ9H50" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fat-adapted-part-2-qa/#axzz25cvZ9H50</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147376/is-this-the-low-carb-flu/150695#150695 Answer by Teufy for Is this the low carb flu Teufy 2012-09-20T02:41:10Z 2012-09-20T02:41:10Z <p>Keto flu can take up to two weeks to fully dissipate.</p> <p>Relax. Be patient. You'll go into ketosis eventually, trust me. If you want it to happen faster, switch out your olive oil for coconut oil; for some reason it facilitates the process.</p>
