While it doesn\u2019t affect everyone, it does affect enough people to make it something to fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that the keto diet is harmless and any symptoms you may experience are temporary. The common symptoms you may notice are: irritability, brain fog, mood swings, lethargy, constipation, flu-like symptoms, headaches, nausea, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The body is starting to detox and cleanse itself. All the toxins being released and cleared are having a negative effect on the body. This is par for the course. You will feel worse before you feel better.<\/p><div class=\"srfhf69da259bb7310\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yoursplink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1015\" src=\"https:\/\/afclnk.com\/keto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ketoblogbanner.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.srfhf69da259bb7310 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.srfhf69da259bb7310 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.srfhf69da259bb7310 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.srfhf69da259bb7310 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.srfhf69da259bb7310 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>* After the first week<\/strong><br>By the end of the first week, if you\u2019ve been following the diet correctly, you\u2019d be in a state of ketosis. You can check this with a ketone meter. You should also have gotten over keto flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that you\u2019ve lost some weight. This may be encouraging but it\u2019s mostly water weight. Since every gram of carbohydrates retains 3 grams of water, after a week on the keto diet, you\u2019ll have very little carbs left in your body. So, there\u2019s much lower water retention. This explains the weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>* Week 3<\/strong><br>Week 3 is where the magic happens. You\u2019ll feel better than you\u2019ve ever felt before. You\u2019ll experience more energy, increased mental clarity and a sense of \u2018lightness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ketosis is working for you round the clock and burning your fat stores. You\u2019ll notice more weight loss, but this time, quite a bit of the weight lost will be fat and not just water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also not believe the results and wonder if it\u2019s even possible. After all, you\u2019ve tried out the other diets and none worked as well. Have faith, it only gets better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Week 4<\/strong><br>By now you\u2019re a HUGE fan of the keto diet. You\u2019ve lost more weight than you have with any other diet before. The numbers on the scale have dropped considerably. Your friends and family notice that you\u2019ve lost quite a bit of weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, you have a ton of energy. You rarely feel tired. In fact, you\u2019re so energetic that you find it hard to sleep. This is one of the downsides of the keto diet. It can affect your sleep patterns\u2026 but after a while, things will return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>* Week 5 and 6<\/strong><br>You\u2019ll notice that your performance during physical activities gets remarkably better. You have more energy to expend and feel less tired. Your stamina improves too.<br>If you\u2019re not on a regular exercise regimen, it\u2019s time to get on one and workout. You\u2019ll find that you enjoy the physical exertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After week 6, it\u2019s just a matter of maintaining the diet and staying in ketosis. By the end of month two, you\u2019d have lost so much weight you\u2019d be shouting from the rooftops about the benefits of the keto diet.<br>The keto diet delivers\u2026 and it will work for you, if you will work it. Give it a try and you\u2019ll thank yourself 2 months from now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zynpd69da259bb8569\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/yoursplink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1023\" src=\"https:\/\/afclnk.com\/keto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bottompost-728x90-px.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.zynpd69da259bb8569 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.zynpd69da259bb8569 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.zynpd69da259bb8569 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.zynpd69da259bb8569 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.zynpd69da259bb8569 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most diets like the Mediterranean diet or paleo diet do not have much of a transition phase, the keto diet has one.
