And keep in mind that cutting ALL sugar out of your diet (which, luckily enough, isn’t that easy to do) will starve your brain and make you feel increasingly stupid. It’s only after my last week-long fast that I’ve read that our brains can’t really work on glycogen (ketosis-produced “sugar”).
Basically just cut all the carbs and sugar out of your diet, that will put your body into ketosis so it’s burning fat for energy.
Don’t do this for too long and make sure to take vitamins while you’re doing it.
Talk to a doctor first. The keto diet does have very real health risks.

Sounds about right. I lost about a pound a day doing keto but I felt pretty foggy, lazy, and constantly hungry the whole time.
