keto flu
Carb withdrawal symptoms
Keto flu refers to a cluster of symptoms that some people experience when they drastically reduce carbohydrate intake, typically in the first few days of a ketogenic diet.
Common complaints include headache, fatigue, irritability, nausea, and difficulty concentrating—symptoms that resemble a mild flu.
The condition is not actually caused by a virus but by the body's adjustment to burning fat for fuel instead of glucose.
I felt awful the first week, but the keto flu passed after a few days.
