Oh! You are feeling tired. Feeling sleepy all the time since you started keto?
Might be you are wondering if keto isn’t a good fit for your body or if you are doing something wrong.
Let me help out clear your thoughts:
Nowadays the keto diet is an effective method for reducing weight. But if you are feeling exhausted all the time or low on energy there might be some causes which fortunately are easy to fix. One of the most common causes is Keto Flu.
When you first start keto your body’s metabolism switch from burning carbs for energy to burning fats. This is a major metabolic change. Your body may require some time to get adapted to this transition phase and chances are you may experience some symptoms like fatigue, headache, vomiting, etc. Thus making you feel sleepy for the whole day.
Another cause is might be you are dehydrated. When one is on a low-carb diet, the body excretes lots of water and electrolytes, and if you do not replenish them you can easily get dehydrated. This dehydration can easily lead to fatigue and drowsiness.
The keto diet promotes adenosine activity in the body, helping the nervous system to relax, helps in promoting sleep.
Besides the keto diet suppresses appetite, so chances are you may easily get a calorie deficit thus making you easily exhausted.
So, to overcome all these setbacks, try initially to increase your calorie count, and eat keto-friendly healthy food. Soon you will discover that your symptoms will vanish and put back a sweet smile on your face.
