The good news: This can be avoided or resolved by incorporating something calledcarb cyclinginto your keto diet.
First, you have to understand that keto is a stressor on the body.
Keto can positively or negatively affect hormonesdepending on your overall stress load.
The ketogenic diet generally has a favorable impact on hormones.
Additionally, hormones are produced from fat, so a high-fat diet aids in hormone production.
This can interfere with thyroid hormone production, throw off a woman’s cycle, and suppress hormone production.
The good news: This can be accomplished by carb cycling.
When to consider carb cycling.
I recommend trying the above approach for a few cycles and seeing how you feel.
(Using a period-tracking app likeCluecan be incredibly helpful in determining where you are in your cycle.)
