[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2459691, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=550505]@Cherath[/USER], It does take some time for our bodies to fully work on a keto diet. For most people it takes about a month, for some people a little more, and sometimes up to three months to fully adapt. According to theory -- the reason for this is that for most of us T2s are almost entirely use glucose metabolism for energy (as consistently high insulin levels, which according to some researchers generally characterizes T2, make it hard to access body fat for energy). Once you lower your insulin levels (by eating lower carb and causing your pancreas to produce less, the impact of which takes some time), you allow your body to switch to fat metabolism (or to use both glucose metabolism and fat metabolism). So, you might want to give it a few more weeks and see how you feel then. For some, increasing electrolytes may also help (especially salt, but maybe also magnesium and potassium). [/QUOTE]
