RE: A glance at my Keto lifestyle | How I lost 6 Kilos in a few months

in OCD5 years ago

The 24h fasting must be complicated as hell, I wonder how it would be manageable while working a 9 to 5, definitely not easy.

Do you have a link or something to read more about the potential harm? I'm genuinely curious to inform myself more about this.

I'm sorry for vanishing for a week after you responded but I think better than not at all even if you don't find this. I hear what you're saying. I neglected context on the 9 to 5 bit. People like to talk about themselves. Multitasking at an offcie.. I was always hungry and under a lot more stress. I could never just focus on one thing and that's very taxing to me. That's just it. It's all about me :?)
... or it was when I commented apparently.

Re: low carb diets, that's an impression. A hunch mostly, not black or white. I'm sure you've looked into this and found a mix of perspectives. My Dad was on Atkins while I was growing up and I'm sure for long after. Lost him to Alzheimer's. I point out that it's an inflammatory illness among many. I wasn't interested in phyto-nutrients or targeted nutrition at the time. That came later out of necessity (and dread of treatment plans) but that's when my hunch took root. I cared less about balanced meals but I saw how his meals - it "felt wrong". Adkins just did not look right. Not long term anyway and it seemed obvious to me. But there we go mememe. I think people know what to do. When to try and when to stop trying too hard.

Your keto looks incredible and less "prescribed". I know very little about the keto diet and no, I haven't yet started serious research or collecting articles. I took this as an oppty to learn more. I'll just share what I found. If you don't use PubMed (US Natn. Inst. of Health) to check out recent findings (not conclusions), you might like their thoroughness and objectivity without what you might (or should) expect- a lot of industry / agency influence. Some of the listings seem to favor low carb in some situations like diabetes type 2. enjoy
