This always leaves me feeling great and helps me burn off the extra glycogen and get back into ketosis faster. I try to fast overnight, and if it’s not possible because cheating has left me hungry, I will do a sprint workout (ten minute walk, two minutes of sprinting in 30 second intervals, five minute walk) in the morning before breakfast. To try and get back into ketosis faster, if I know I might end up eating a “cheat meal” on accident, I will work out before the meal and eat that meal as dinner. It has helped me realize the keto diet is actually doing something.
However, I feel fantastic once I am back in ketosis (which takes about 12-24 hours). “Cheating” on KetoĪ few times, I have had “accidental” cheat meals because I ate out at a restaurant and ate too many hidden carbs (i.e. I try and have a kale salad and an avocado a day to make sure I am getting enough potassium. I am also experimenting with two hormonal supplements – DIM and chaste berry to see if it helps my hormonal migraines. I started drinking bone broth every day and that really helped with the brain fog, this is in addition to a magnesium supplement I take every day.

However, by the end of the day, I have been feeling pretty fatigued and migrainey. Soft skin! Yes, this was an unexpected one.I haven’t slept this well since I was a teenager! Improved sleep! I am incredibly drowsy at night (which I love!), fall asleep faster, and sleep in later.I wake up in the morning feeling good, and that energy lasts up until late evening. I am finally back to working on my business, and my mind is buzzing with ideas. So do I feel much different today after eight weeks versus six weeks of keto-ing? The answer is YES! The brain fog has finally lifted and I am feeling much more energy. After a month, I began to feel better overall although I was still feeling brain fog and fatigue and hadn’t resumed much by way of business activities!Įight Weeks of Keto Versus Six Weeks – Do I Feel Different?.The second two weeks, I had a lot of severe hormonal symptoms – hot flashes, severe migraine, brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue.The first two weeks I felt symptoms of keto flu – dizzy, lightheaded, some depressed mood, tired, etc.
You can read all about the first six weeks, and the symptoms of keto flu, in more detail in this blog post. Just eight weeks ago, I embarked on a new dietary adventure – the keto diet! I largely undertook this diet to see if it would resolve my chronic migraines.
