If you\u2019re exploring starting the keto diet, you may have also come across the term called \u201cKeto Flu\u201d. People see it as the most common side effect of the keto diet. Staying in a fat-burning state called ketosis comes with a lot of health benefits.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great for long-term and sustainable weight loss. The body takes one to two weeks to adjust to the new mechanism. When you\u2019re first starting out on keto, you may experience a few days of flu-like symptoms as your body learns to switch over from burning sugar to burning fat.<\/p>\n

In general language, such symptoms are called keto flu. But these symptoms can not be referred to as influenza. Rather, they\u2019re a byproduct of the body adjusting to a very low-carb diet as it depletes stored glucose.<\/p>\n

While doing the ketogenic diet body attains ketosis and fats are used as the source of fuel as the liver starts breaking down fat into acids called ketones. For most people, the adjustment period may be mildly unpleasant but not dangerous to their health at all.<\/p>\n
