The DARKER Side of KETO - This is HOW TO FIX IT

I started losing a LOT of hair about 8 months into keto. We eased into keto, so no keto flu but depending on stage of ketosis, the bad breath or body odor comes & goes. It's been over 3 years and we've changed to modified but I'm not sure my hair will recover its thickness. Weekly shower hairball (rolled up pretty tight) size has been as large as a golf ball and now that hair is shorter & thinner it is less in diameter but still significant, not including what is brushed out or falls out while not in shower. Weight loss was not drastic or fast. I've not seen anyone cover this topic very well. I'm now a 55yo female & hormones have changed since starting 4+ years ago. Thanks for at least touching the topic.

Hello there 😊

Well said !
I hope those who are new to keto will view this video.

An honest assessment of a keto Lifrstyle, but answers for those problems. How refreshing!

I swear by LMNT!

I'm not sure if I'm "different" or if I did enough research to bypass keto flu. I started taking electrolyte supplements at the beginning of my keto journey years ago. It really worked for me. I'm not sure if it would benefit everyone. Thank you for this video!

The height of keto my hair was thick shiny awesome length. It grew like a weed due to protein😊

Be careful what type of carbs that are discarded. Protein needs carbs to digest properly.

Beautiful. !❤❤❤ thank you deeply. Xxxooo

Haven't found any of these issues. I eat within a small feeding window 20/ 4 . Sometimes less . I do a clean keto . Whole food single ingredients. Take plenty of vitamins ( D3 k2 B3 E multi vitamin Omega 3 ) Started January 6 . Embarrassed to say i was wearing size 40 pants . As of today was thrilled to open a tote of pants i have not been able to fit into for a few years . Today I'm able to button up Size 34 . The most amazing thing i haven't really excised more then walking the dogs.

One of the times I did low carb, I lost hair big time!

Good information.

👍👍👍👍

Salt makes my blood pressure rise. The drink mix has 1000 sodium. I would be afraid to try it.

Thus is bullshit. I stopped watching everything from her because she is far from doing clean keto...dirty keto all the way ! She's got no business posting this bullshit

Hair loss comes from the body’s response to fasting which a keto diet actually mimics. Everyone on keto suffers hair loss, it should be a red flag.

Fed up with people unabashedly advising that people don’t stress. It’s pointless advice. Please stop.

this is strange to hear. Its been almost 23years that im keto.. First years, Ive took multivitamins but now I just eat balanced Im 60 look like 50,my health is at the top. This keto is too complicated. Never lost hair of felt bad, all the contrary!!!

Too many keto desserts causes weight gain. Fiber is a myth. I eat zero fiber and my bathroom habits are more regular and normal than they have ever been in my life!

and if you have stage 3 CKD? Can't take LMNT...

Thanks Annie I love your guidance and professional advice on my Keto journey cheers Jackie from Oz x❤

My problem is Histamine from eating the same keto friendly veggies. It took about a year into Keto to start hives, runny nose and itching. Now I am also having trouble losing weight.

I want to eat keto for Health not weight loss. I already weighed just under a hundred pounds and I'm losing about a pound a day. I can't keep doing that. I'm 74. Is it possible to gain or maintain weight on keto?

Electrolyte replacement should be 75 mg calcium lactate. 120mg from magnesium citrate. 60mg chloride from Pink Himalayan sea salt 40 mg sodium from Pink Himalayan sea salt 1000 mg of potassium from potassium citrate. Coupled with 100mg of a trace mineral complex that has all 83 minerals. That's the safest electrolyte replenishment.

Is explosive diarrhea part of the keto flu ?

I can’t find the short video you did about conflicting doctors. Did you go to ketocon this year?

I am so glad to hear you are aware of the dangers of zylitol with dogs. As a Vet Tech I helped treat a few dogs that got into zylitol. It is super scary. Paintballs also contain zylitol and are labeled non-toxic because they were tested for humans. That was one of the dogs I saw- he was catching and biting paintballs.

I really enjoyed the first of the two videos. I have lost a lot of hair on my keto journey in one year I lost 83 pounds. I still have 30 pounds to lose and I seem to have plateaued on weight loss so I am eagerly looking forward to your next video.

I have a question. I use thin slices of Swiss cheese cut into fourths with everything but the bagel on them. I love these things and could eat them constantly. I use them for crackers and for chips and just as a quick snack. My question is do they lose any calories or fat content when you bake them? there is always oil on the parchment sheet that I baked them on and I put them on paper towels afterwards and there is oil that soaks into the paper towels as well. So I just wondered if they were lower in calories or lower in oil content after you cook them.

I started using two spoonfuls of beef gelatin in a hot beverage, and my thinning hair is growing back in. 🎉

I’d add getting a glucose monitor and at least the ketone pee strips and testing what happens after you eat. If you aren’t making ketones you are eating something that has sneaky sugar. Keto dieters make ketones. No exceptions. Read labels and look for maltodextrin as hidden source of glucose spikes. They can say sugar free and have maltodextrin. No bueno. Stay away from keto packaged foods. Except rebel ice cream. That stuff is amazing and clean. Just keep the portions small or don’t eat it if you can’t handle it. Addicts be warned. Magic spoon cereal is also clean and ok as a small snack. Those are my indulgences once every few days. Not daily and certainly not every meal. Avoid fast food as they have bad oils that stimulate your appetite (by design). Don’t be lazy and plan meals ahead. Lazy gets you in trouble eating packaged garbage. Eat that bacon. So filling and satisfying until you get things under control. Avoid snacking. Resist those lizard doctors 😂- they will discourage you. Be warned they will ignore your weight loss and focus on 1 number. Best to avoid for a year. Let your body acclimate. Avoid extreme cardio - makes cortisol. Do easy walks or just easy weight lifting. Keep it moderate or you won’t lose weight. Less is actually more for once. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Everyone is a different chemistry set. Learn it.

I didn't loose hair when I was on keto. However, I started to loose my hair about 4 months after I quit keto and being back on a none keto diet for 4m. My hair was amazing when I was on keto.

I border on keto/carnivore. My worst side affect was low potassium that made me feel like I was having a heart attack with a rapid heartbeat, back pain and muscle cramping. The whole time I was using an electrolyte that had 1000 mg potassium in it. Come to find out the electrolyte was the wrong kind of potassium for your heart/muscle. The electrolyte contained potassium citrate. After going to the doctor, I was prescribed a potassium chloride. You can find that in Morton lite salt. Scary learning experience.

Great info thanks! Seriously just mean showing someone scarfing lucious pink cake.

Did you go to ketocon?

Diarrhea occurred for me because I overdid the fake sugars.

I lost my hair before keto.
I just don't care lol.
anyways im now on carnivore.

Been on keto for over a year (staying around 60 lbs weight lost), I haven't noticed any weird hair changes. After eating clean for this long I can smell all the rancid crap in processed/junk/fast food, especially seed oils even the "natural flavoring" in sugar free sparkling waters smell like a chemical to me.

I shouldnt say this but, that darn cake looked so good and no, I don't eat that anymore! 😂

Excellent video! Thank you! I enjoy using your recipes and your wisdom! As a grandmother, I enjoy hearing about your boys and how you incorporate Keto into your lifestyle! ❤️

Fortunately I was bald LOOOOOOONG before I started Keto

Ads are too long

....omg... constipation is not a microbiom question!

Yikes, that a lot of sodium in that Element Electrolyte drink mix, Ratio of Sodium to Potassium at min. should be 1:1. I would prefer high Potassium and moderate sodium cause I can eat and consume sodium very easily.

200 mg of potassium a day is a far cry from the 4000mg a day u need ansd 60 mg of magnesium is pretty low to the 375mg or so of magnesium. I get that u eat foods w this too but it's just drink chicken broth and take mag and potassium supplements w higher amounts.

When I started keto I was making smoothies with raw eggs and I would notice I was losing hair when I would wash it. I started cooking my eggs and it completely stopped.

awsome vid!

I lost soooo much hair on the keto diet.

I started keto back in Oct 2023. Was going great, triglycerides down from 1099 to 283, weight down from 200 to 182. Then in early Jan 2024, I started having heart palpitations, insomnia, and irritability. The heart stuff has been scary. I had to take Ativan to calm it down. I quit keto about a week ago. I think things are getting better. Next plan is a moderate low carb lifestyle with some of the better carbs mixed in. I don’t think my body can take pure keto.

LMNT sucks, don't buy it, it's almost a scam.
