Hi all
I did the BSD last year with moderate although disappointing success, but I’ve just started again and the Keto flu is 100 times worse this time. It kicked in about halfway through day 1, and the headaches, dizziness and brain fog are simply unbearable and nothing gets rid of them. I’m really trying to perservere but I feel simply awful. I’m drinking plenty of water, have plenty of healthy fat in my diet like olive oil, full fat yoghurt etc. (Side note, the calories of these are exponentially worse than the book says so actually quite difficult to up them!!) there’s also plenty of protein in my diet although I’m struggling to up this without also upping carbs – nuts for example, high in both, beans and pulses, high in both. I’ve tried having some extra salt. I’ve tried upping the carbs a little by adding say some pearl barley to a meal, but I feel awful and this really isn’t feeling worth it. At the same time I’ve also tried every diet going over the years and literally nothing works for me and I always stick with it. Am I destined to just be fat and disgusting forever? Any help or encouragement much appreciated
