Onset of Keto-adaptation SymptomsBased on some recent research I've done (including reading lots of great posts on this forum), I've started a VLC diet. Can anyone point me to a resource about when can I expect the onset of adaptation symptoms, what the symptoms will be like, and when they will pass?

For me it takes about 48 hours before I start experiencing symptoms. I usually starts with a little tiredness, bad breath, strange dreams. The tiredness will go away slowly but the bad breath is here to stay. I brush my teeth a lot.

I never really got the "bad breath". And what little I did get has long since gone.
As far as the adaptation period goes I believe Atkins puts many people through hell for no reason. I feel it is best to just reduce your carbs to the level you want GRADUALLY thus giving your body time to adapt without the "flu".

As always, I think it's relative. Back in the 90s when I was living Atkins full time I truly experienced no symptoms what so memorable. No bad breath. No tiredness.
But to this day I don't experience what many people do-body aches etc... Ignorance is bliss? I don't know.
Chose your path and see the see.
Best wishes,

Avalon, I'm with you so far. Day 4 has come and gone with no noticeable changes in how I'm feeling. Onward to day 5!

Yay team!
Look out for day 11, if I remember there are a few spikes thrown in the road, two or three oil spills and a barrel of Monkeys wielding Bananas! Get through 11 and you have it made... except for day 21. I'm sorry I still can't talk about day 21  Oh and then there was day... never mind 
Best to you,
Avalon
