Anyone try the keto diet? I've trimmed up fast, but I do get the shits. Other than that I feel pretty damn good.

Perhaps I should of asked "who here has tried the keto diet, how were the side effects, how long did they last,and what to do to remedy them?"

The only side effect I remember early on was feeling lightheaded if I didn’t get enough potassium/magnesium. Nothing digestive. Now, after 4 months, I’m shedding a ton of hair (telogen effluvium). It’s temporary & normal for me, but aggravating. My hair is on everything, everywhere, all the time.

I told everyone and their mother about keto, oh and I leaned down eating bacon 25 days a month.

What the frick are you eating? The only time I'm off is when I shoot MCT and then eat something w a lot of erythritol. But that has nothing to do with keto.

Increase your electrolytes
Add pink Himalayan salt

When doing keto I tend to get the shits until I'm firmly adapted into ketosis,. At least about a week, up to 2 weeks. I've always figured it's just my body dumping water.

I did, my body took a while to adapt to the extra fat.

I read somewhere to avoid drinking water with meals (something about diluting stomach acid) and it actually remedied the diarrhea.

Shat like a mink the first two weeks, then locked completely up for about 5days, then back to normal

It’s your colonic bacterial flora switching over their fuel source. Takes a couple weeks.

Hmmm. I've never had that. More tending to the opposite direction if I overdo the protein. Coffee and MCT generally = Clark Griswold level lube.
