What Is The Keto Flu?

What Is Ketosis?

Ketosis is the body's process of burning ketones instead of glucose. The body naturally burns glucose as energy. However, when an individual stops consuming carbohydrates, their body switches to burning ketones for energy. For some individuals, the switch cause withdrawal symptoms, which can be uncomfortable and include nausea, muscle cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. The symptoms usually start within a few days of adopting and sticking to the diet and usually go away after a week or so. Symptoms vary greatly from one person to another.
