One of the common side effects of Keto is Reduced Physical Performance. You guys must be unicorns or something..That's not a surpise because you definitely need to be "special" to restrict yourself from eating all day long LOL.
- b0sk 8y agoThat's only during the initial "burn-in", you feel fatigued when your body is adjusting. (not a keto guy, just interested in researching about it"
- OldSchoolJohnny 8y agoThat's not accurate information unless you are referring to the initial phase of getting your body used to a new way of eating. Most people who keep it up report the exact opposite.
- sAbakumoff 8y agoCmon, just google it : keto side effects, this is what I've got: KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 1 – Frequent Urination. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 2 – Dizziness and Drowsiness. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 3 – Low Blood Sugar. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 4 – Cravings for Sugar. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 5 – Constipation. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 6 – Diarrhea. ... KETOSIS SIDE EFFECT 7 – Muscle Cramps.
- glastra 8y agoI'm definitely looking forward to suffering side effects 5 and 6 at once. 1: This is not even a side effect, and it refers to the loss of water weight during the hours before entering ketosis, while the body is still burning glycogen stored in the liver (which is bound to water, which goes into the bloodstream and must be excreted). 2: This goes away after the first hours of ketosis and that's if you have never been in that metabolic state ever in life, otherwise there's none at all. 3: Not a side effect but the actual intended consequence, and a positive and healthy one. 4: Cravings go away. We actually crave more sugar the more we consume it, not the other way around. A period of 2 weeks without sugar, even in the context of a non-ketogenic diet, removes cravings. 7: That's due to a lack of electrolytes and not ketosis. People who attempt to switch often disregard electrolyte intake, which is obviously crucial. As urination is more frequent during the switch, electrolyte balance is harder to maintain. Adequate intake fixes this. Try harder, please.
- sAbakumoff 8y agoI tried to google harder, but it doesn't provide any other results. Keto is bad for you, this is what I got. Well, any extreme dieting is bad for you.
- glastra 8y agoWhat is extreme about it? I'm never hungry, I never feel bloated, and I don't have any digestive issues. I suggest you do some research yourself and perhaps even experiment, before you regurgitate things out of the first result that comes up on Google after you enter an already biased query.
- sAbakumoff 8y agoI trust google and I have much more exciting things to do than following questionable dieting restrictions. Life is too short, you know :)
- glastra 8y agoGiven all of your replies in this thread, I assume quasi-trolling on HN is an exciting thing for you to do. Life is indeed short. My diet, which I wouldn't consider at all restrictive as I can eat as much as I want, allows me to live it to its full potential.
- sAbakumoff 8y agoHow do you know what's the full potential is?
- glastra 8y agoYou're right. I don't know if there's anything further than what I currently perceive, but this is definitely orders of magnitude better than before I started. And that's pretty much the only thing that has changed (other habits haven't changed, such as meditation and weight-lifting).
- reitanqild 8y agoIIRC some combat divers use keto as it reduces the risks associated with rebreathing gear; this should indicate that excellent physical performance is possible while on keto.
- sAbakumoff 8y agowho the F are combat divers? Who are they fighting against?
