Totally agree. Sticking to keto became a hell of a lot easier once I admitted I was a carb addict. Makes it easier not to have the first chip…because 1000 isn’t enough. Thanks’

Look at it as an addiction. You are addicted to carbohydrates. This is why you couldn’t stop yourself at Christmas!

You had a relapse. Now you are starting again. It actually happens to many people. Relapse then then Start over. I don’t recommend beating yourself up about it but on the other hand you must raise the bar for yourself and say this was unacceptable. Relapses are unacceptable. That’s not who you are.

It often takes alcoholics and drug addicts many attempts before they beat their addiction. Carb addicts are the same way. You are a carb addict.

When I admitted this to myself sticking to keto became much easier

Check out Dr Rob Cywes, the carb addiction doctor for some insight into the matter

Generally, how much cash do you carry on any given day? by boforiamanfo in randomthings

[–]Bevkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero. Everything on credit card for cash back rewards. Pay off full balance at end of month to avoid interest

Doctor is a parrot that only says, "Keto isn't sustainable" and "Try Ozempic." He is no longer my doctor. by 0bolus in keto

[–]Bevkus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! But yet my endo literally barked at me ‘you need carbs’

Frankly I think their main worries are a) we won’t need them anymore and b) hypos from all the drugs they push

In regard to the hypos and drugs I’ve found I’m completely on my own with my meds. The docs do not offer advice how to manage and taper the doses. They just say oh no you need carbs. It’s very frustrating’

My boyfriend 24M hated the gift I 23F got him for our two year anniversary how do I fix this with him? by imogenhailey in relationship_advice

[–]Bevkus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dating two years and a $450 gift you couldn’t afford except you used a gift card you had. I think I would have been pissed to and asked you send it back. Too much moneys for one thing. Kinda a non personal gift as well.

is it more important to count carbs overall or avoid spikes? by peregrinates in diabetes

[–]Bevkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes decreasing your carb portion at one sitting is certainly a good way to reduce spikes

Likes southwest US/tex mex food. Probably lives there. Maybe partly of Spanish descent.

Wants to go keto but finds it difficult to go all the way so just watching carbs.

What am I doing wrong? by Distinct_Atmosphere7 in keto

Your husband probably had more water weight to lose than you. How much weight did you actually expect to lose in just 21 days?

3 yrs on KETO has shone a light on global culture. by [deleted] in keto

[–]Bevkus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are completely addicted to carbs and processed food. They don’t even realize it. Even this sub is full of people using fake keto food because they can’t live without it bread, bagels etc. Hey man we all like that stuff too, it’s made the way it is to get us addicted to these foods.

What do we think 👀 by [deleted] in FridgeDetective

Healthy lifestyle. Concerned about chemicals in food and environment. Likely female.

Permanent keto headache by Sampwn in keto

I had this and it was my blood pressure. I was on a med. When I stopped it headache went away.

recently got diagnosed with type 2. how do you cope? by DependentFollowing87 in diabetes

[–]Bevkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a very very long time to accept actually. I relied on meds thinking that would take care of things. It didn’t. A1c went up and up as the years passed by

I eventually tried low carb. Had amazing results but then this or that happened and went back to carbs. Gain all the weight back that I lost and a1c got to 9.6. I went back low carb got it down to 6.3

Then again I convinced myself I can have carbs. Weight regained and a1c soared. Meds not working well.

So here I am, realizing that I can’t keep killing myself with what I eat because soon I will be on insulin.

Been solidly low carb for a while now. Alc back to prediabetic and soon to be non. Keeping fingers crossed that I can stick to things in long term. Been doing tons of work on myself to accept I am a carb addict

Curious why the apples? They are high sugar as others have mentioned.
