The Keto diet forces the body to use fat for energy by reducing the glucose storage of the body completely, which is the body’s usual energy source. This process can cause people to experience fatigue which is just one of the many obstacles of succeeding in the Keto diet. Some of the other hurdles associated with the Keto diet include: increased cravings for various foods that one prefers, moodiness and irritability, muscle weakness, and constipation.
Key Takeaways:
- Drink water and eat low carb plant foods throughout the day to avoid constipation caused by a keto diet
- Replace electrolytes with salt and bone broth to keep energy up on a keto diet
- To help with cravings, eat more healthy fats, fiber and lean protein
