RE: Who Do I Follow on Steem & Why? - A Tale of Two Halves

in OCD5 years ago

I'm not being a smart alec here; I'm genuinely frustrated and perplexed and wishing I could find cures, wishing that prayer or "beaming positive intentions" could show some efficacy.

I know you're not. I stay positive.

To be honest the keto flu hasn't abated yet, it has just got a little less intense... and I've been on the diet for 6 weeks. None of this seems right, and through my research it sounds like my body is either taking a mega long time to adapt to using ketones to burn fat for energy rather than glucose, or it just isn't adapting at all!

Whatever the case may be, I'm giving it another two weeks to make it an even 2 months and then if things haven't improved going the doctor and potentially transitioning off the keto doet. After all, if it's not working, there is no point.

Silver lining... I've lost 1.5 stone (9.52544 kilos) in 6 weeks lol

Keto flu.... somewhere, I've read that keto is not meant to be a long-term thing. Two weeks tops, and then it's time to move on to some less intense diet. The high-fat, low-carb thing isn't for everyone. But what do I know? I read. I know nothing. And I wish you well!
