I tried Keto for a while last spring and for the most part I loved it. I got into ketosis quickly, saw results, and for the most part it was a diet that I felt I could maintain over a long time - eating was actually enjoyable again unlike with the traditional cutting diet. So anyways the reason I quit keto (and not meaning to be crude here) is that it just clogged my system up pretty bad, it was straight up painful. How do you address this issue? Adjust the diet? Supplement with fiber? If you do go the fiber route what should I look for, what are some good products? I never bought this sort of thing before so I dont know what to look for. Id like to start keto again this week as I always fail using the traditional lowfat diet due to those foods being too bland and boring.

I take fish oil caps. Helps with fat loss, keeping 'regular', and my joints feel a bit better when I take them.

Fibre supps will get you over a painful hump, but overall, make sure you are eating plenty of fats.
65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.

What everyone else said. Oils and Fiber. You should already be taking in trace carbs via highly fiberous veggies anyway (spinach, brocolli, etc).

Drink plenty of water, go heavy on leafy greens, freshly ground flax seeds, and a fiber supplement if needed.

try probiotics also sometimes its not about what you eat but its about gut health and good gut bacteria
also more oil (olive or coconut or mct)I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
