Know About Some Common Side Effects of Keto Diet

                                               

                            KETO DIET SIDE EFFECTS

It is common to have one or more side effects when you start a ketogenic diet, as the body adapts to a new way of eating.

The body must adjust its supply of energy using its own fat stores instead of carbohydrate glucose, and this may contribute to some of the experiences.

This side effects are generally transients and can be typically be remedied as at reduced portion.

This is how you can reduce the Keto Side Effect:

Loss of Salts

Water is the best drink for hydration but tea and coffee are also fine as long as they're not very milky.

Potassium & magnesium are other important salts. As long as you are eating healthy, natural foods (such as nuts, meat, fish, dairy and a range of vegetables), you shouldn't have a problem getting enough magnesium & potassium.

Change in Bowel Movement

Bowel habits should usually improve within a couple of weeks. If they don't, it could be that you're not getting enough fibre. Drink plenty of water and consider increasing your consumption of non-startchy, fibrous vegetable, legumes, nuts and seeds, as these are all good low-carbohydrates sources of fibre. 

Loss of Energy

Once in ketosis, the body can draw energy from its own fat stores and the liver is able to create a much glucose as the body needs and not too much. As a results, by cutting out carbs, the body finds it easier to regulate sugar levels and energy. While you may notice a dip in energy initially during the adaptation phase, this should pass within a few weeks.

Keto Flu

The keto flu is a collection of symptoms experienced by some people when they first start the keto diet.

These symptoms, which can feel similar to the flu, are caused by the body adapting to a new diet consisting of very little carbohydrates.

Reducing your carb intake forces your body to burn ketones for energy instead of glucose.

Ketones are byproducts of fat breakdown and become the main fuel source when following a ketogenic diet.

Normally, fat is reserved as a secondary fuel source to use when glucose is not available.

This switch to burning fat for energy is called ketosis. It occurs during specific circumstances, including starvation and fasting.

However, ketosis can also be reached by adopting a very low-carb diet.

In a ketogenic diet, carbohydrates are typically reduced to under 50 grams per day.

This drastic reduction can come as a shock to the body and may cause withdrawal-like symptoms, similar to those experienced when weaning off an addictive substance like caffeine.
