I'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).
- sAbakumoff 8y agoOkay, the last one - quasi-trolling on HN IS the exciting things to do :-)
- glastra 8y agoIt must be frustrating when you run into threads like this, though.
