So I've been overweight the majority of my life(35 years old, 6ft, 268lbs). I stay active and workout somewhat frequently but i'm a huge over eater.
Last week, I started a Keto diet and intermittent fasting, 20 hours only black coffee/green tea/lots of water, 4 hours eating Keto friendly(4:00PM-8:00PM). The first few days I felt fine. The last few, I feel good for around 8 hours a day and feel awful for around 8 hours a day. I've lost around 13 lbs in one week. I didn't have a BM for the first few days but now that I do, it is all diarrhea(not excessive, once/twice a day). The 8 hours a day that I feel awful, it isn't unlivable, I just feel drained and kind of out of it but not light headed or faint, just crappy like I have a sinus infection or the flu. I imagine it's the "keto flu".
But I just wanted to say, is this all normal/safe? I don't feel the need to stop, just wanted some guidance/reassurance.
Are there days I should take a break from either IF or Keto?
The most positive benefit other than the weight loss was a nagging ankle pain that comes and goes for which I sometimes wear an ankle brace, is gone. Haven't felt any pain at all since day two.
