  You can combat the flu by staying hydrated, replace electrolytes, make sure to sleep, and make sure you are eating enough fat.

  We suggest drinking some bone broth or pickle juice, which have been shown to fight against it.

• How can you check if my body has attained ketosis?

  You can measure your level of ketosis by urine strips, breath analyzers, and blood meters. Remember, KETOSIS is a normal state, which allows your body to continue functioning even if you eat few carbs. When you follow the KETO diet, the fat is converted in the liver to ketones, which are then released into the blood stream. Studies show this is great fuel for the brain.

  There can be numerous reasons, but the two most common are: too much protein and too many carbs in your diet.
