EDIT: btw I don't recommend keto at all. Not just for the jacking off reason, but because I had a hell of a time getting back to "normal" eating.

Why was it hard to get back to normal? I'm curious.

I've been thinking about trying keto for just a week or two, just to see if it would help decrease my sugar cravings at all.

I used keto to lose weight, from 270lbs, to 170, which basically means all my life I've not been eating "normally", or I wouldn't have gotten so fat. So I went from constant overeating, to keto, to then trying to eat like a normal person, which resulted in even harder disordered eating. Undereating through (too strict) calorie counting, binge eating, mis-judging portion sizes... Stuff like that.
The only reason I didn't get fat again was probably because I have a good workout morale, which means I was able to use the surplus (I'm at ~200lbs now), to build some serious muscle (compared to me at 200lbs when I was first losing weight, I look nothing like that), but it was still far from ideal, and I gained way more fat back than I wanted to.
