I started a keto diet because my doctor recommended limiting sugar, and I can’t do moderation. I’d rather have no carbs at all (well, 20 grams of carbs a day). There are pilot studies showing keto can be good for bipolar, so I’m kind of excited to see what it does for me. So far, so good, but I’m only 2 weeks in. Wish me luck!
My dad keeps going on about starting keto, and christ knows I could lose the weight. Of course he comes at it from the “lobster guy” angle, which I admit turns me all the way the fuck off.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but I did lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks. It’s easier than I thought it would be in terms of cravings, but I did have to buy a whole bunch of new food, and more meat, so it’s been more expensive so far.
I don’t have a link, but I think they are finding that it only affects some people with certain genetic makers. That might be a large number, but I wasn’t included 🫤, so when I tried it, it did a whole lot of nothing for me. I hope it works for you though!
That’s interesting, I suppose we shall see if I’m one of the lucky ones.
I hope it works for you! I did a year or so of keto to lose weight and I felt great. Unfortunately I Iost too much weight and I’ve been struggling to find a good dietary balance ever since.
Glad to hear it worked for you, but it really sucks you can’t find what works now! I hope you find something that keeps you balanced and well-nourished.
