Why the first 40 days suck

In the first 2 weeks of starting the keto diet you lose a lot of water weight and as a result…

you lose many minerals which optimize your body’s strength, energy, and focus.

The next 2 weeks after that is when your body normalizes it’s mineral balance if you take the proper measures, and the 5th week is when you start feeling like yourself again, and can get motivated to exercise, only to find out that you’ve lost some strength during the month.

Here are 3 brands you can try:

InstaKetones ($25.99)	Keto Fast ($45.95)	Keto Drive ($56.02)
