What are the symptoms of Keto flu?
As the name suggests, Keto flu usually comes with symptoms similar to any other flu. Some common symptoms of Keto flu include headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, sugar cravings, dizziness, constipation, fatigue, and even mild fever. The severity of the symptoms depends on the individual.
How long does Keto flu last?
Keto flu generally lasts for a couple of days to two weeks. For individuals with more difficulty adapting to a high-fat, Low-Carb diet, symptoms of the Keto flu may last for several weeks. Fortunately, once the body has fully adjusted to ketosis, Keto flu signs usually subside. However, it is common to experience occasional headaches, especially if you do not consume enough electrolytes. To ward off the Keto flu faster, you can incorporate Keto flu recipes rich in electrolytes - sodium, magnesium, and potassium - such as leafy greens like spinach and kale, avocados, seeds, nuts, legumes, broccoli, and coconut water. Apart from increasing electrolytes and vital mineral intake, you can combat the Keto flu by getting adequate sleep, staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activities, and eating enough fats while slowly cutting down carbs.
Can this chicken Keto flu soup be prepared ahead of time?
Yes, this recipe is meal prep friendly. When making the recipe, double the ingredients and make a big batch of this nourishing chicken Keto flu soup. To store this soup, portion it in air-tight containers or several air-tight jars. Set aside to cool down completely. Cover with lids and transfer to the fridge. This chicken Keto flu soup holds well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready for this soup, warm it in a pot over medium heat. Garnish with a lemon wedge, and enjoy!

Broth was an especially huge hit with the spouse. There were slight modifications made - doubled the mushroom, tomatoes, and lemon juice. The chicken I sliced thin horizontally and then into strips. Great soup, would make again.
