Headache

I've been in ketosis for about 2 weeks. I didn't suffer the keto flu as some have described but just today got a horenous headache. Can this be a delayed reaction of the keto flu? I've kept very close to my 5% carbs/70% fats/25% protein and kept my calorie right on or slightly high just to get started.

    linrenep Yes, make sure your drinking salty broths and taking a potassium supplement. It will pass eventually. Infact, after the headaches subside and your feeling comfortable eating the high fats, etc, your then entering the fat adaption stage, your body starts burning its own fat.  Right now your body is transitioning and it can be difficult.

    You can also purchase some  endogenous ketones.  That might help alleviate some of your symptoms.  It's helping me.
