These keto chocolate cashew cheese fat bomb balls are a fantastic snack whether you’re just getting started on keto or you’re looking to get better results.
Some people experience what is referred to as the “keto flu” when they’re just starting out. You’ll know it if it hits you.
You’re tired, cranky, can’t focus, can’t sleep, and you really, really, really want carbs. Bad.
This is normal. It’s your body’s reaction to the transition from burning carbs to burning fat. Fortunately, it’s usually pretty short-lived, with most people finding relief after a week or so.
There are some things you can do, however, to decrease the likelihood you will fall victim to the keto flu. Eating fat is one of them.
