Know the Warning Signs to See a Doctor

Most people start keto with only mild issues like a headache or tiredness in the first week, often called the keto flu, and drinking water with a little salt usually helps. But some signs mean stop guessing and get checked. See a doctor if you feel your heart racing or skipping, get very dizzy or nearly faint, have strong belly pain, notice yellow eyes, or feel confused. If you have kidney disease, liver problems, gout, or your gallbladder has been removed, ask a doctor before you even begin, because keto may not suit you. Feeling weak and cramping can mean you are low on salt and water, common when you sweat here in the heat, so drink up and eat a pinch more salt. Trust your body. Chai and eggs should make you feel better over time, not worse. If something feels truly wrong, a clinic visit is cheaper than ignoring it.
