Question

Anybody else get dark and angry when in ketosis? I’m following phase 1, not cheating any, not changing it up, and this is my 3rd time in 3 years being in ketosis and every time it happens. Just curious.  

Answer 1

I feel like crying all the time

@suisse wow, sorry to hear that. Watch Don Rickles videos on YouTube. He’s hilarious.

I will thanks. I am almost 3 weeks phase 1, no cheating and I feel crappy all around. I thought by this point I’d feel a bit better.  

---

@suisse IP water enhancers. Seriously.  

---

I’ve never been told about them. How often do you use them? I’ll buy some this week.  

---

@suisse I use them . A lot . I have them in my purse , car , night stand  I order water when i’m out and use them , at the movies . only way i’m getting my water in . not a fan of plain wAter unless it’s summer ‍♀️ No soda for 1 year on Sat  

---

@illness what do the enhancers do? I have no problem drinking water. I probably drink too much lol

---

@suisse they taste good , lol . I’m not really sure some people say they do other things but I drink them just for the taste. lemon   

Answer 2

Oh man, your never angry! I’m sure it’s just your body adjusting. Good luck!

Lol, I’m pretty mellow but not in ketosis. Figured it’s a sugar/carbs thing. As soon as I’m out of ketosis it’s over.  

Answer 3

My state is more of a lack of willingness to be active, lethargic-ness, perhaps a bit of depression. Like I’ve had the life sucked out of me. I know. not motivated. That’s what I feel the chemical change does to my hormone receptors and just throws my personality out of whack.

@dehumidify216 I’m always like that. Lol

IP water enhancers helped me greatly with this!  

Answer 4

Being "hangry" (hungry and angry) is definitely a thing. Also, you are releasing lots of old hormones that have been stored in your body fat. Drink your IP water enhancers and focus on your progress.  

Answer 5

Nope❗ I wasnt hungry once I was in deep! I found it suppressed my hunger. I was often happier. Was loving myself!  

Answer 6

I've found I have a slight change in personality about 7-10 days in, which I believe is my body's adjustment to no more alcohol. I don't seem to have any physical symptoms, but my mood.

@delrio same here.  

Answer 7

Yep. More short & snappy than my usual patient self. I have visual triggers to eating and my hubby likes to eat a lot of junk daily. My patience is thinner these days.  

Answer 8

Oh yeah it’s a real thing ! I warn my boyfriend lol carb withdrawal, irritability, emotional etc you name it . fun times it will pass though hang in there!  

Answer 9

It’s withdrawal as with any drug.  

Answer 10

Yesssss! My first week I have crazy dreams! Scary dreams too  then I feel amazing afterwards until I phase off. It’s a great plan!  

Answer 11

I just watched a keto YouTube channel with a guy who was talking about how keto can increase anxiety in some people and was recommending an increase in a vitamin to help with that. I *think* it was magnesium, but it might’ve been Omega 3. *updated: here is the link, I can’t remember where in the video he talks about it, but he mentions it a few times.

I’m in a dentist waiting room, so I can’t rewatch it right now, to find where he says it (sorry)

Answer 12

I'm grumpy AF when I can't eat whatever I want.  

Answer 13

Yes I hate the speed feeling and am a complete bitch in ketosis. It is awful. I can’t ever imagine doing this as a way of life like so many people do.  

Answer 14

I mean . Hangry didn’t come from nowhere  

Answer 15

I have been depressed and chalked it up to no sugar (or no dopamine)

Answer 16

My husband and I aren’t allowed to restart at the same time due to our ketosis hanger.
