Few, mostly good ∆es: though some people have problems with constipation during 1st month, if they rapidly convert. Including lots of healthy saturated fats of natural origin (eg. butter, high fat meats, coconut, palm, olive oils) typically prevents this complication &amp; adds additional benefits: ↓.appetite, ↓ triglycerides, improved lipoproteins (LDL↓ &amp; Large-HDL↑).
