One of the initial hurdles people encounter when they first cut out carbohydrates is commonly termed the “keto flu”. While it is not the actual flu, fatigue, achy joints, and other flu-like symptoms can affect people for a few days early on in the transition into keto.
Have an Easy Keto Adaptation, eat SALT
For an optimal and easy transition from a “sugar-burner” to a “fat-burner” be sure to regularly consume a high quality mineral salt. Salt is demonized and vilified, but the truth is that salt is essential crucial for brain function and hormone production. Salt is vital to good health, and is required by the human body in order to function properly.

Do you feel awful in the beginning of your keto diet?
Here’s what to do…
Source High-Quality, Mineral-Rich Salt
Skip the table salt and opt for a high quality salt whenever possible. The nutritional difference and superior taste are worth the effort of sourcing from a local health food store or trusted online suppliers.
We choose to support family oriented businesses rather than affiliate with Amazon (the Goliath that is slowly swallowing all retail). Our favorite specialty salts come from Mountain Rose Herbs. They do all the hard work of sourcing and packaging salts (organic herbs and spices too), all we have to do is open a bag and sprinkle liberally onto the dish!
I wrote a recent review on Mountain Rose Herbs (hint: there’s a lot more going on than just buying their products), you can read it here.
Hope this helps you through a painless, easy keto adaption!
I’m so glad I came across this article!
Great information! I never had the keto flu at the beginning of this new lifestyle. I think it’s because I fasted with only for 5 days before switching over to keto. I researched fasting and just figured it was the best way to jumpstart the process. Going from fasting to keto was extremely easy, because eating low-carb, high-fat is super easy compared to extended fasting.
