🌸 Can I Get Hives While on the New You Plan?
While it is not a common side effect, some individuals following a low carbohydrate or ketogenic style diet may experience what is informally known as keto rash. This is a rare skin reaction that can cause itching or a red rash, often in areas where the body tends to sweat more.

🧬 Understanding Keto Rash

Here is what you need to know:

Cause:
Keto rash is thought to be linked to the production of acetone, a substance your body creates when it enters ketosis (a state where fat is used for fuel instead of carbohydrates). Acetone is excreted through the breath and sweat, and in some people, this may irritate the skin and lead to a rash.

Appearance:

• The rash is usually symmetrical, meaning it appears on both sides of the body
• It commonly appears on the chest, back, armpits, and sometimes the neck
• These are areas where sweat tends to accumulate
• The rash may feel uncomfortable or itchy

🩺 What Should I Do If This Happens?
If you experience symptoms of a rash or skin irritation while on plan, it is always best to speak with your GP or healthcare provider. They can help:

• Confirm the cause of the rash
• Provide treatment options to relieve discomfort
• Advise whether any adjustments to your plan are needed

Everyone’s body responds differently, and expert advice will ensure you stay comfortable and supported.
