Digestive Issues
A ketogenic diet demands a significant adjustment in your diet. Although the keto diet isn’t always low in fiber, switching your diet and consuming fewer fiber-rich foods like grains can cause a temporary slowdown in your progress. The initial adverse effects are frequent digestive problems, including constipation and diarrhea.
The three macronutrients—carbs, fats, and protein—are all metabolized by the body in different ways. Each of the three has a significant impact on health. However, the keto diet severely restricts carbohydrate consumption. Because whole grains and fruits are among the most popular sources of fiber in the diet, switching to a low-carb diet might cause digestive problems.
After the adjustment phase, these problems disappear. Yet, it is still advisable to be aware of particular foods affecting your digestive issues. Also, remember to consume a lot of nutritious, fiber-rich low-carb vegetables. Avoid eating an unbalanced diet, as this may raise your chances of having digestive problems and nutrient deficits.
