Hell yea, man!

I dunno much about Keto but I definitely recognize that coma feeling when adjusting diet until blood sugar (or something, dunno the science of what is happening) changes in the body chemically and then all of a sudden, the lethargy is pretty much gone

I used to believe I had to have a meal within 6 hours of working out for it to not suck. But after going two weeks of 10ish hours fasts (basically from noon until like 11pm) I not only could work out, but I had MORE energy than before when I was eating more. HTF this happens I have no idea, it’s like the body eventually goes “switch to alternative energy sources!” and deals with it, but not on the first few days. Those do suck

The constant hunger feeling for me has remained. Coffee in the afternoon helps a lot with that. I feel it the worst about hour 8 of my fast in between meals. But since I eat before bed (just veggies and chicken), I don’t go to bed hungry, otherwise no way I’d be able to sleep

I wish you the best with it. Hardest in the beginning, but the silver lining is the gains come the fastest then too

Keto is basically faking your body into starvation mode without starving. It's annoying because there is so much sugar in everything. I use fatty dressings like lighthouse blue cheese on salads, bacon, eggs, dark chicken meat. Steak, plain Greek yogurt. Avacodoes, fatty fish like salmon.

Super high cholesterol diet, it's only meant to be a Kickstart before I can go back to a more normal diet. It's a diet for treating epilepsy and not meant to be a long term thing. And comes with some health risks beyond just high cholesterol.

I will get extreme bouts of hunger though, but it doesn't take much to satiate it. The huger goes away pretty quickly, I'll have butter coffee in the morning, two eggs at break, salad and yogurt at lunch, meat and veggies for dinner. That's it. Energy levels shot through the roof cutting out the carbs like only a day after starting it.
