> flu like symptoms for a week
People assume that's a bad thing, but that's not a trivial assumption. Yes, it's not convenient - but e.g. fever - while indicative of a disease, is most of the time a good thing (unless it is life threatening, taking down the fever with Tylenol or Advil is likely to prolong the disease). Those flu- like symptoms might be a good, if uncomfortable, process.
I don't know myself - I'm just pointing out that it is not necessarily an indication that keto is bad for you.
