@monk276 I am going on day 6 and it started yesterday. Just feel super lethargic and achy

@tolley it May have taken you a bit longer to enter ketosis depending on how your diet was before you started. What you’re feeling is normal, give it about 7 days and you should feel much better. ❤️

@monk276 yeh I have done IP 8 times lol. Just was wondering how many days long and when it started for others. I have actually started before and not had flu too. It has definitely started both ways for me. And my diet was BAD BAD before this time

I had a horrible headache from day 2 to day 8 or 9. Had moodiness and lethargy for nearly a week.

@cacography7848 I hope this lethargic feeling does not last for 8 days haha

@tolley I'm mid-week 3 and I still get episodes of lethargy. Might have more to do with being stuck inside all day working remotely more than the diet though. LOL hard to tell!
