Hello,
I am new to the keto lifestyle and I had a question related to the keto flu. I have done lots of research on-line and in books prior to beginning this lifestyle, but I definitely did not think the keto flu would be this bad. I have been eating less than 20 grams of carbs per day and 0 sugar for the past 8 days. I have also significantly increased my fat intake (bacon, butter, cheese) and have been eating more proteins. Yesterday, I started to feel like I had a fever, my stomach was really upset and I had a headache. I took my magnesium, vitamin D and pottasium supplements. I also have been drinking approximately 100 ounces of water per day. Today, the symptoms are nearly unbearable. I actually had to call off from work. My concern is that I have the worst pain in my sinuses and my jaw bone. The other symptoms seem pretty common, but I did not read anything about the sinus pain and jaw pain. Has anyone ever experienced this? To try and alleviate the symptoms I have been drinking chicken broth and eating even more fat than usual. I would really appreciate any guidance or support. If this is a part of the process, then great! I just want to make sure I am not doing something dangerous to my body. Thanks!
