Welcome! Over the next few weeks I'll be trying out Muscle Research's Keto Salt in a variety of ways, times, and situations.
A little background info on me and my situation:
Currently sitting at about 185lb, 12% bf. Normally I don't do too hard of a keto diet (usually still pretty high protein, just more fat and no carbs) however this year, in order to help my gf stick to a diet (she loves eating keto style and feels like shes not dieting and therefore can actually stick to it), i decided to commit to a full blow, high fat, low protein, zero (or close) carb diet.
Since starting (4 weeks as of monday) I have lost about 15lb (10 the first week of the normal glycogen/water weight, 2-3 each week since) and have felt like death most of the time. Typically I can "tell" I'm in ketosis at about two weeks and start feeling better, however this time something has been different and I've actually been feeling worse and worse. I'm exhausted all the time, having horrible workouts, light headed often, and generally just feeling like I want to vomit after almost every meal as it sits in my stomach like a brick and seems to take almost a whole day to digest. For reference, I normally am a bottomless pit and just want to eat all day every day. Typically I follow IF and eat 1-2 meals/day, always in the evening.
I plan to try this out pre workout (sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon), pre bed, first thing in the morning, and potentially mid-day depending on how it/I feel.
As always, all suggestions, questions, recommendations are welcome!
