Keto Flu & Hydration
DIY Keto Electrolyte Drink + How to Beat the Keto Flu
DIY keto electrolyte drink to stay energized & avoid keto flu. Beat fatigue, brain fog & dehydration with this simple, mineral-rich recipe.
Hydrate, Energize & Skip the “Keto Flu”
Starting keto? Feeling tired or foggy? That “keto flu” everyone warns about is real — but it’s temporary and fixable. One of the biggest keys? Proper hydration + electrolytes.
Why Electrolytes Matter
When you cut carbs, your body flushes out water and minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium). That’s why you might feel headaches, fatigue, or irritability early on. Replacing electrolytes keeps your cells balanced and energy steady.
DIY “Keto Aid” Hydration Drink
Skip the sugary sports drinks — make your own clean, refreshing electrolyte booster:
1 qt water
1 qt soda or mineral water
1–2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
Dash apple cider vinegar (optional)
½ tsp natural sea salt
½ tsp magnesium citrate
Fulvic mineral drops
¼ tsp cream of tartar (potassium)
Pinch cayenne (optional)
4–6 drops liquid monk fruit or stevia (optional)
Mix, chill, and sip all day — about 2 quarts daily is ideal. Great for kids too!
Understanding “Keto Flu”
The “keto flu” isn’t sickness — it’s your body switching from burning carbs to burning fat. Symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, nausea, irritability.
Why it happens:
Depleting stored glycogen → water + electrolytes leave the body.
Sudden carb drop without enough minerals to balance.
Smart Transition Tips
Go slow on carb reduction: Start around 30–50 g/day, then lower.
Hydrate deeply: Add salt, drink broth, use your DIY Keto Aid.
Eat nutrient-dense foods: Dark greens, avocados, fatty fish.
Prioritize rest: Sleep helps your body adapt faster.
Be patient: This phase passes — and mental clarity is coming!
