I have been LCHF for years and generally good at keeping numbers down. I have also done Keto before. After a 'bad' summer; holidays, illness and an operation I thought I would go Keto for now. I have been on under 20g carbs this week and in ketosis for a few days. I have lost 5lbs! Hooray! BUT the dreaded Dawn Phenomenon has returned (it has happened before as well). What can you do if you are Keto to prevent this? A T2D on the 'usual' diet might be advised to have a glass of milk and a couple of digestives at bedtime - obviously a no-no on Keto! I can't go back to sleep once I wake but I can't carry on with 3 hours sleep a night!
Is this a familiar situation to anyone? Any ideas of how to solve/prevent this? I do take magnesium supplements
