I think it's pretty normal. I don't know for sure, but it's possible that it's more or less the same effect as keto-flu.

Make sure that you get plenty of water and electrolytes.

Also, if 24 hours is too much, you can try intermittent fasting, and do 16 to 20 hour fasts.

+1 on starting out with 16 hour fasts.

It also seems that some people can't tolerate fasting for whatever reason, so GP might just not be cut out for it.
