Some notable benefits:
Lack of hunger: Ketone bodies dampen the appetite, and fat is very satisfying. You'll notice at times, you may forget to eat. You may find this is the most amazing part, especially if you struggle with food addiction issues.
More energy. You'll be amazed at how much energy you have. Any chronic fatigue symptoms should get better. If you are taking a statin (a cholesterol lowering drug) see my statin side effects page. Statins compromise cellular mitochondria which results in fatigue and muscle pain.
Clearer thinking. The "fogginess" that accompanies a high carb diet will disappear. My theory on this is that the brain is over 60% fat by weight, and the more fat you eat, the better it can maintain itself and work to its full capacity. Others more scientifically inclined might talk about essential fatty acids and neurotransmitter function.
Changes in your sleep patterns and an improvement in sleep apnea symptoms.
Decrease in stiffness and joint pain.
