For me it was very similar to the early stages of a bad flu. Tired, headaches, body aches, irritable, and mild nausea for about 5 days. I've heard that MCT oil can ease the transition a bit, but be careful because too much can cause stomach cramps and violent diarrhea. (I've never been able to handle more than one tablespoon at a time.)

Make sure you are getting enough sodium and potassium, its my understanding that being in ketosis increases excretion.
I drink a glass of chicken broth with extra salt every morning to alleviate keto flu symptoms.
