Common Questions About Keto Diet.
Common Questions About Ket
- If I try keto, does that mean I can never eat carbs again?
No. However, you will need to significantly cut back on your carb intake at first. After two to three months, you can have carbs on special occasions—as long as you return to the diet right after.
- Will I lose muscle mass?
There is some risk of losing muscle mass in any diet. However, high protein intake and ketone levels can minimize muscle loss, particularly if you strength train.
- What if I am constantly fatigued?
If you’re constantly feeling tired or fatigued, you may not be in full ketosis. Your body might not be using ketones and fats in the most effective way. You should try lowering your carb intake or adding supplements to your diet. MCT oil or exogenous ketones can help battle fatigue.
- I have digestion issues. What should I do?
Digestive disturbances are a common side effect of switching to a ketogenic diet. Symptoms should pass in three to four weeks. In the meantime, try eating more high-fiber vegetables or supplementing with magnesium to relieve constipation.
