> Oh yeah, I've been feeling a bit more mentally dull than normal. It's making me want to just give in to eating something with a lot of sugar. I've still been drinking caffeinated tea either unsweetened or sweetened with Stevia, of course) but I hope to give that up too once I start feeling more adapted to this diet. But yeah, it's referred to as the Keto Flu, where basically you're likely to feel like crap when beginning this diet. Where's a video that's kinda funny but still really good that I like to use for motivation.

> And the difference between the Keto and Atkins diet is that Atkins doesn't call for you to restrict protein. It is said that when your diet is really low on carbs to convert to glucose, it will actually begin to convert protein into glucose through a process called "gluconeogenesis". And glucose is basically the enemy of Ketosis. On the Atkins diet, you can still eat lowfat protein all day. But the keto diet calls for your diet to consist of a high amount of fat. Moderate protein. And very little carbs.
Nice video lol. I look forward to hearing how you are feeling after 2 months in ketosis. Keep going! You got this!
