10 Signs of Ketosis
Ketosis Sign #8: Increased Short-Term Fatigue
Our bodies are used to using carbohydrates for fuel and energy. When the body needs to adapt to a metabolic change such as ketosis, there are side effects that happen right away. Increased short-term fatigue happens during ketosis. As ketosis does not happen overnight, it takes about one week to a month to reach this state.
Fatigue may happen due to the reduction of electrolytes since the body eliminates water during ketosis. As the body adapts to the use of fat as its energy source, it is recommended that fluid intake needs be met to help restore and balance the body’s essential nutrients.
