This is from the previous thread
I have a question for you and the other longterm ZCers here. How long did it take for you to get keto-adapted? I've been ZC for three weeks now and I am really dragged out and exhausted after any type of exertion. Ex - I went Christmas shopping this morning and after only one hour I felt like I would die if I didn't lie down soon! I dragged myself and my shopping bags to my car and came home.
I've read it takes anywhere from one to six weeks. Lordy, I hope this doesn't last three more weeks - I have a lot to do this month!
were you LC before you went ZC? If not, you may be losing alot of water/electrolytes. I found I needed a little potassium to get me thru that "exhausted" feeling. It should regulate itself pretty quickly
