This is par for the course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You will feel worse before you feel better.<\/p>\n<h2>After the first week<\/h2>\n<p>By the end of the first week, if you\u2019ve been following the diet correctly, you\u2019d be in a state of ketosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can check this with a ketone meter. You should also have gotten over keto flu.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that you\u2019ve lost some weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This may be encouraging but it\u2019s mostly water weight. Since every gram of carbohydrates retains 3 grams of water, after a week on the keto diet, you\u2019ll have very little carbs left in your body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, there\u2019s much lower water retention. This explains the weight loss.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 3<\/h2>\n<p>Week 3 is where the magic happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll feel better than you\u2019ve ever felt before. You\u2019ll experience more energy, increased mental clarity and a sense of \u2018lightness\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ketosis is working for you round the clock and burning your fat stores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice more weight loss, but this time, quite a bit of the weight lost will be fat and not just water.<\/p>\n<p>You may also not believe the results and wonder if it\u2019s even possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After all, you\u2019ve tried out the other diets and none worked as well. Have faith, it only gets better.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 4<\/h2>\n<p>By now you\u2019re a HUGE fan of the keto diet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve lost more weight than you have with any other diet before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The numbers on the scale have dropped considerably. Your friends and family notice that you\u2019ve lost quite a bit of weight.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, you have a ton of energy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You rarely feel tired. In fact, you\u2019re so energetic that you find it hard to sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the downsides of the keto diet. It can affect your sleep patterns\u2026 but after a while, things will return to normal.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 5 and 6<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice that your performance during physical activities gets remarkably better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You have more energy to expend and feel less tired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your stamina improves too.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not on a regular exercise regimen, it\u2019s time to get on one and workout. You\u2019ll find that you enjoy the physical exertion.<\/p>\n<p>After week 6, it\u2019s just a matter of maintaining the diet and staying in ketosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By the end of month two, you\u2019d have lost so much weight you\u2019d be shouting from the rooftops about the benefits of the keto diet.<\/p>\n<p>The keto diet delivers\u2026 and it will work for you, if you will work it. Give it a try and you\u2019ll thank yourself 2 months from now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most diets like the Mediterranean diet or paleo diet do not have much of a transition phase, the keto diet has one.&nbsp; It takes about 5 to 7 days for the human body to go into ketosis.
