Energy and mood on keto
I've been doing this for about a month now and I'm just about ready to start lifting again after recovering from surgery.
I have never had problems sleeping but this past month it's been increasingly difficult falling asleep sometimes simply because I'm not sleepy or tired!! I also come home every day from work in such a great mood and I don't know if this is a keto thing or what.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Jetgo1000 it's pretty common to have more energy on keto because you aren't subjecting your body to the insulin/glucose highs and lows. For the sleep thing, try Ashwagandha supplement before bed. It's a natural relaxer and also works to lower cortisol which, depending on your age, can be a factor in belly fat. Keep up the good work.

I am 53 years young 161 pounds with hypothyroidism and menopause. I started Keto 10 days ago and lost 6 pounds so far. The BEST part is that I have lots of energy! I can’t remember when I felt like this the last time! It’s amazing. I actually sleep better than before maybe because I take magnesium supplement to solve problems with constipation.I also work Full Time and usually I got home to hug my coach before doing anything else, but not anymore!

I'm 57 (a young 57 ;-) ). I started menopause at 45. Since then my mood has been horrible. Developed anxieties, slight depression just an overall downer. April of this year I stopped all carbs and sugar. In June I discovered Keto and started to adjust my diet. Still learning. My mood has turned around 360. I haven't felt this good in years!
