Actually, it's been a little longer than 30 days because, well, life happens and brings with it complications. I was convinced I needed to drink Keto//OS as a smoothie. My recipe was one packet of ketones, ice, water, and a splash or two of orange juice. The product I was using tasted exactly like a Dream Sickle minus the vodka.
Then Spring Break arrived and a road trip from Texas to South Carolina interfered. Then I came home and started and stopped drinking ketones for a month. Some days I felt crappy, a side effect known as the Keto flu.
And while I was wondering "what fresh hell is this," my son was entering the final month of first grade. Needless to say, life was busy but I found the time to discuss my progress with the friend who had issued me the 5-day sample.
Here's what I found out - I wasn't drinking enough water and really all I needed to do was commit to drinking the ketones daily in a glass of water - first thing - the minute I rolled out of bed.
What I didn't understand was that the science behind KETO//OS is that I was consuming high-grade salts. Not table salt but high-grade sodium - BHB mineral salts which is naturally produced when a person is on a strict low-carb, high-fat diet. Even though I wasn't technically on a diet changing what I was consuming, by drinking ketones, I was hacking my body into thinking I was on such a diet. #Winning! However, if you are ingesting BHB mineral salts, you must (emphasis here - MUST) drink water.
So, I'll try it this way and increase the water I drink daily. Stay tuned . . .
