Today we’re going to talk about how to avoid carb withdrawal symptoms when starting keto.  Carb withdrawal symptoms:  • Irritability   • Grouchiness   • Lightheadedness  • Cravings   • Fatigue   • Hunger With the keto diet, what you’re trying to do is switch from running on sugar to running on fat fuel as your primary energy. This process is known as the keto-adaptation phase, and it can take some time. Your body has to adapt to your blood sugars coming down. But, your brain doesn’t need to adapt, it’s already ready to run on ketones. Ketones are the preferred fuel of the brain.  Carb withdrawal remedies and prevention tips: 1. Start keto and intermittent fasting gradually 2. Add ketones (ketone salts or MCT oil) A big mistake people make when they are starting keto is not being strict enough. Their carbs are lower but still not low enough. What’s going to happen is that they will prolong the withdrawal symptoms. Frequent eating will also make it take longer to adapt. How to speed up keto-adaptation:  • Bring your carbs down as low as you can.  • Decrease the frequency of eating. Don’t eat if you’re not hungry.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
