Keto Flu Dos & Don’ts Download
Many mainstream experts urge you to steer clear of a ketogenic diet because they warn of the nausea, headache, dizziness and flat out misery that many people experience while following a keto diet. What these mainstream experts fail to mention is many of these symptoms are only temporary for most ketoers who experience them…and if you approach keto the right way, you may not even experience these symptoms at all!
These symptoms come along with what many refer to as the Keto Flu. They can typically occur within the first few weeks of the diet as your body switches over from burning it’s primary source of fuel of glucose to its new primary source of fuel of fat. As your body is making the switch, it can freak out since you’re losing electrolytes in mass and your body may think fuel is scarce when it’s no longer receiving the carbs it’s become accustomed to running on.
In today’s Chat the Fat we’re talking about the dreaded keto flu, along with the steps you can take to lessen keto flu or even avoid it all together!

Suzanne Johnson is a 48 years old mother of 4. She started Keto in June 2018 and since then, she’s down 65 pounds…in less than a year!
Suzanne was a yo-yo dieter since she was a teenager. She’s tried everything from taking laxatives in college, dexatrim, weight watchers, low fat, low calorie, and even liquid diets. Like a lot of yo-yo dieters, if you can name a trendy diet, she’s tried it.
Suzanne had her gallbladder removed a few years ago, but still decided to move forward on a high fat keto plan. She found my Coach Me Course & My Big Fat Life Transformation book, which also led her to TC Hale, where she took the digestion course and enrolled in the Keto Decoded Membership. These courses helped her learn how to test for chemistry imbalances she needed to improve to balance her body. She also began digestive supplements to make the weight loss process easier by improving her digestive symptoms.
During this episode of Chat the Fat, we discuss Suzanne’s journey from yo-yo dieter to how she ended her struggle for good with a real food keto diet.

If you’ve taken time to research keto and that left you absolutely confused, you’re not alone. See, ketogenic diets began back in the 1920’s as a treatment for epilepsy…but these days, they’re being used in full force as a diet for weight loss, and also for the health benefits that come with a ketogenic diet beyond weight loss, like lower blood sugars and extra energy throughout the day.
On today’s episode, I’m talking all about the different forms of a ketogenic diet. While it’s true keto began as a very high fat, very low carb plan meant to heal children, now there are different keto plans that work for different keto dieters. This makes sense since we’re all different people with different body chemistries.
