I am taking a small break and doing some intermittent fasting that was long overdue, I started about 38 hours ago and i can't believe how ill I got. Fever and strong headache like withdrawal symtoms as if i had been on drugs which i havent (thinking of movie Trainspotting but not that bad) but it's almost over now which means I will probably end it tonight. Have a nice day.
Those are definitely the symptoms of your body switching to Ketosis (not to be confused with Ketoacidosis). Assuming you're otherwise healthy, those symptoms would be totally gone by day three. An initial 24 hour fast is commonly recommended to those wanting to go on the keto diet.

Yeah, if you can, get some electrolytes into your system. Lots of decent stuff on amazon like Lyteshow. Maybe I've just gotten used to switching to keto but I feel like it helps a lot. The worst I get now is just more tired than normal at the end of the day for a 1 or 2 days.
