One complaint I hear from people that fail on a low-carb ketogenic diet is that they experienced constipation, bloating or other stomach issues. There are a few good reasons why constipation can happen on a ketogenic diet and some easy tips to avoid these bowel issues as well.
Making sure to get enough soluble fiber and water in your diet as you start a low-carb ketogenic diet are two important tips to keep you regular and set up for success with the keto diet.
Soluble fiber is important for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome (the bacteria that's important not only to our intestinal health but our overall health as well)
Drinking extra water at the start of a ketogenic diet is also important to help prevent issues with constipation since people tend to diuresis and lose more water as they start into ketosis.
