Does keto make you tired?

It can, during the transition period or if you do it incorrectly. It can mean:

• You need more B vitamins (especially B1 and B5) – these 2 vitamins are crucial in the metabolism and the ability to make energy

• A need to increase potassium (eat large quantities of vegetables)

• Deficiency of stomach acids (apple cider vinegar, sea salt, betaine hydrochloride )

• Hidden carbohydrates in your food

• Decreased blood sugars (feeling tired)

• High blood sugar (tired after eating)

• Need for more sleep

There might be other reasons behind tiredness that are not keto-related. It could be connected to digestion, or stress or inflammation, for example. Try to handle the root cause while following a Healthy Keto® plan.
