Tips for success:
• Stay hydrated & include salt in your meals
• Eat whole foods (meats, eggs, veggies, healthy fats)
• Avoid processed “keto” junk (just because it says “keto” doesn’t mean it’s healthy)

Cautions:
• “Keto flu” symptoms (headache, fatigue, nausea) can appear in early days — they often pass in a few days.

• Long-term safety is less studied — always talk to your doctor, especially if you have health conditions.
