One week on Keto and no longer wake up wanting to off myself

Exactly my experience with keto. If nothing else, it gets you away from a whole lot of sugar that you do not need. You have to feel better without that shit fucking with your blood sugar.

Really, r1?? Tell me more, please- If you don't mind, that is.

I'm stunned by this. Happily stunned, but still stunned.

Please stop, OP. I can smell your Keto breath from here.

Isn't keto just Atkins 2.0?

During Covid, I lost 70 pounds in about 7 months eating from a keto foods list. Plenty of vegetables and meats and eggs. A useful selection of fruits, though not expansive. No added sugar.

A strict keto diet limits you to 20 carbs a day. I used an app to track foods and it was extremely helpful. It helped me reconsider portion sizes. Ahem! It helped me track carbs in my food choices and also calories. Each day I was consuming about 40 carbs per day and staying under 1500 calories. And it worked very well. You have to also track calories. It is possible to keep the carbs low and still consume too many calories to effectively lose weight.

Occasionally, it felt restrictive, but by looking at the daily weight recorded in the app, I could not deny that it was working well. So, damn the restriction. Just shut up and eat a strawberry.

Good luck, OP.

Keto is woke Atkins

I am the opposite of OP. If I had to do this diet, I would no longer want to live.

Are there any upsides?

OP, you need a psychiatrist, not a diet.

I have the same experience, OP. I don't follow a strict keto diet, but I do keep careful track of my carbs. I'm in pretty good shape for 50 (ie, dead in gay-years) and well within the recommended weight for my height, but by keeping carbs low I find that I have so much more energy and enthusiasm for Getting Out And Doing Stuff. I rarely have a binge on high-carb foods and always regret it for two or three days afterward. The difference in energy levels is astonishing.

Glad it is working out for you.

Thank you, r10. You are a genuine fucking inspiration to me.

Thank you.

Gives me the shits.

@sylviafowler you are one o the most pshychotic people on this board and I have bee on this board for over 20 years.

Good to see you are still attempting to destroy the world you could never have.

FIGHT ON SYLVIAHHH

Thanks everyone on here, I can't believe how everything is changed.

I'm worried now because I used to thing of offing myself about a hundred times a day for at least 5 years now, and now I going to have to live.

If you only think of death, you are calm and comfited.

I HATE WANTING TO LIVE

WTF is “dirty” keto? And do you really believe you’ll never have a piece of cake 🍰, pie 🥧, chocolate 🍫, or anything sweet ever again? Get real.🙄

Can you drink black coffee on keto?

How about black coffee in bed?

I swear these stupid diet fad are so ridiculous. The excitement and energy wears off as soon as you get used to it.

All you Keto worshippers might want to think twice.

Yes, r15, you extremely odd person who seems to be unable to express themselves in actual WORDS.

Yes, r16, although I now take it with a tiny dollop of the heaviest cream that ever heavied.

Tes, r17 all the time

Can I drink black coffee in a cabin in the woods?

You type fat, r19

Not if you're hot and I'm around, r21

R22 You type like sheep jumping on a bandwagon.

Hmm.

Also, sheep don't jump on bandwagons, r24.

Hmm.

The diet is a distraction…….your sense of worthlessness and low self-esteem will return after the diet fails

R26 Exactly.

OP is Yashar Ali

Some psychiatrists think keto can elevate your mood out of depression and and even act as a mood stabiliser for manic depressives

Huh, keto actually does have mood-stabilizing effects. I'd never heard that before.

R29 Until they have a slew of other health issues after they’ve fucked up their body. Oh, and they say you can end up putting on more weight than you began with once you quit keto.

Thank God, so does Effexor, R29 and R30. I eat them like Skittles.

Effexor made me sweat like a pig, put on 20kg and, and made me impotent....give me keto any day if it works

Why do I have this sense that now people who know you want to off you?

Oh that is right you won't shut up about Keto.

r34 if you found something to treat your treatment resistant clinical depression, you'd tell everyone too

Two weeks on keto and I wanted to die. Also, made my kidneys hurt like a bitch.

i lost a lot of weight on keto but it's not sustainable or healthy long term. I only put 4kg back on so I'm doing ok. Low carb. low/no sugar is more reasonable

R36 I believe it. They say it can fuck with your kidneys.

"They say?"

Trump is posting here now at R38?

Don't do the strict 20 carbs per day Keto regimen. Forget about ketosis. It's all miserable.

But you can follow a keto eating plan and moderate it a great deal. You'll be eating healthy foods and losing weight.

Watch the calories first. Then, while staying withing your calorie goals, choose low carb fruits and vegetables to help make your efforts more effective.

Or go eat bread and bagels and pasta and puff pastry and.... See how that works out for you.

I've been doing my own form of dirty keto too: no wheat, no sugar, very few processed foods. I've lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks and my energy levels are insane. My overall mood is great.

White carbs are the devil. I don't consider this a diet because I plan to eat like this going forwards. The food tastes great once your palate adjusts and you realize how much your taste buds were blurred by all those heavy carbs.
