I was totally normal. I didn't start off with Keto, I started with a sensible grain based diet. That's when the problems started. I think the problem with my of diet wasn't so much the amount I ate, but more that I never not ate, meaning that my bs would have been permanently high.

Hi. The false hypos are definitely real. Although my readings are normal now, I have been stuffing myself for 2 years on carbs, never going even slightly hungry. I never took a reading then, so I've no idea what my bs was, but it must have been high. A lot of my problems seem to be my body...

Thanks, that's useful.

As I explained above, I am having bad reactions to any carbs. I'm not sure if it's reactive hypoglycemia, no doctor seems to be able to help. The only thing that helped was eating no carbs, but then that caused the hypoglycemic symptoms after a few days. I know it's complicated, and noone seems...

It's false hypoglycemia, not real hypoglycemia. I understand that real hypoglycemia only happens to people on insulin, but you can get false hypoglycemia symptoms if you are used to running high bs but drop it down to normal levels. I have eaten nothing but junk for years, so as soon as I...

You're right, but I can't see any alternative.

I agree, it does sound hormonal. Unfortunately, the doctor has been no help, but they have said my thyroid is fine. Can carbs effect a healthy thyroid?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I'm not actually diabetic. Bizarrely, my blood sugar has always been fairly good. Although you are right about how I'm feeling, I am very negative about all this, it's because I have so many professionals who were worse than useless! I would love someone to tell me...

I've told this story a few times on here, so apologies for repeating myself: Two months ago I decided to go on a sensible, grain based diet after a couple of years of being out of control with my eating. After a couple of days on my new diet, I had some bad hypo attacks, and my body seemed to...

You sound very similar to me, I haven't lost weight at all, and I know that is because of all the fat I eat. Can I ask what you do eat? Do you eat grains or is all you carbs from veg and fruit? Also, how long did you try to do VLC for? Thanks

Sorry to moan on here so much, I am just finding keto so hard. It's now over three weeks since I entered Ketosis on VLC. I still feel absolutely terrible. I am trembling, dizzy, sweating I have vertigo and haven't got enough energy to get up the stairs. It isn't electrolytes, I'm keeping well...

I'm 5'10" and 17st. For meals I am eating eggs, avocado, spinach and bacon 4 times a day,cooked in butter and heavily salted. However, it is just not enough energy so I am snacking a lot on cheese, without the extra cheese I feel really terrible. I have lost lots of weight in the past and...

The reason I don't think that I'm fat adapted is because I still have no energy and need the food to give me energy. Even though I'm big, I've always done a lot of exercise, but now I struggle to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath. I keep up with electrolytes, so it's not that, I...

It's fine, thanks anyway.

I probably should have posted this in the Keto forum. I didn't realise there was one until I saw the link on top of this page. Thanks for your replies.

Losing weight isn't my immediate goal, (although it is definitely a goal.) My immediate goal is to fat adapt. My theory, (hopefully!) Is that I can then reduce the fat I eat once my body is fat adapted, but I'm not sure that I ever will fat adapt whilst eating so many calories.

Hi. I've been in ketosis for almost 3 weeks, but am not fat adapting. I am very overweight, and have not lost any weight in these 3weeks. This is because I am eating a lot of fat. Although I haven't come out of ketosis at all, will my body ever fat adapt if I am eating too much fat? Surely if...

Hi. When a person begins to fat adapt, will their need for electrolytes become less urgent? Does the body stop flushing out the electrolytes when you become fat adapted?

That's helpful, thanks

I've looked that product up for myself. Although it does have 550mg of potassium glutonate, it only had 90 of actual potsium. I'm sure they can't sell more than 99mg by law
