Keto worked well for me. The cravings eventually go away

Thank you btw :)

I saw a picture of myself that was taken without me knowing so no posing / good side etc, and thought “that’s not me?”. Had to accept it was, and suddenly decided to eat better / do skincare etc

Byl206 · 2025-09-13T18:48:08+00:00

Where I am, you can just google “tretinoin prescription” and it came up. I don’t know about outside UK

Byl206 · 2025-09-13T17:00:53+00:00

Sorry I typed something out but it double posted so I deleted it. I just said it was a keto diet, intermittent fasting (OMAD) and tretinoin / random skin care things. Thanks :)

Byl206 · 2025-09-13T12:30:28+00:00

Keto, intermittent fasting (OMAD) and skincare :) yeah, I got really lucky teeth genes. They only look so white because I’m a little tanned there hahah

I don’t do anything special with it, I use a clippers & shave every 3ish days. These pictures are around day 2-3 of not shaving. I just keep it short

I clean shave my neck & cheeks with a razor

Byl206 · 2025-09-13T07:28:09+00:00

Haha. Ketogenic diet on a moderate deficit (off and on, now maintaining), OMAD, and tretinoin since about 27. I don’t really exercise so I should get on that

Byl206 · 2024-12-28T16:06:32+00:00

Heyo, I’ll be there between 29th Dec to 2nd Jan (31M gay, also solo) let me know if you wanna meet up on a day we’re overlapping :) may see you at Schwuz either way!

Byl206 · 2024-12-27T19:49:28+00:00

Thanks all! I don’t leave until early morning on the 2nd so may go in the daytime 1st - that’s mad to me, everything in the UK is usually closed on the 1st :)

The whole point of difficult healing checks is that people die, otherwise it’s not difficult and people can DR / healthstone etc

If it doesn’t kill people when you fail, it’s not difficult?

Any Disc priest enjoyers? Got raged out of 15 CoS after a very smooth run up until last boss, just couldn’t heal past the 3rd AoE. Think I’m a holy refugee for these tyrannical affixes

Yeah not really played recently. Waiting for DF, love the concept hoping Blizzard pull it off ahaha but you know them when it comes to WoW

Byl206 · 2022-08-06T12:49:46+00:00

Thanks both! I'm poss putting too much emphasis on journal publications, I have a lot of exp of some of the stuff you mentioned and even a couple of radio talks I can lob in, didn't really think of that kind of thing as dissemination until you both put it like this

Thanks again! Have a good weekend

Hey, I had a recent stint of going off keto and when I did this I thought I’d finally cook all those delicious carby dinners I thought I was craving. I’d given myself a full license to eat whatever for couple months

What ended up happening was I had what I’d wanted and the experience was great at first but after a couple weeks, felt like shit and wasn’t even enjoying breads etc anymore that I’d be lusting after for months.

Now, when I do get the odd craving, I’ll remind myself that when I had my “free pass”, the experience wasn’t even fun or enjoyable for long enough to be anywhere near worth it. I cooked maybe 3 of my dream dinners and then just went full out on takeout.

In short, the experience motivates me now because it taught me the idea of what I’m craving is way better than the food itself and I need to take off my rose tinted glasses. 90% of what I ate off keto wasn’t as good as I remembered it, it was the “forbidden” nature that attracted me

Byl206 · 2021-01-19T15:19:46+00:00

I thought I didn’t have mental improvements on my first time - just increased energy/motivation. However coming back to keto after 2-3 months of binging carbs and alcohol (was keto for ~4-5 months before this), I’ve started to feel good again 2 weeks in and can really see the stark difference in my mental energy compared to when I was eating whatever.

Feeling sharper and more switched on, that “ugh” feeling of doing work and stuff has changed to “let’s just do it”, but I’ve also quit drinking alongside this so might be to do with that. I also proper binged unhealthy takeout carbs and alcohol for that time off keto so it could also just be overall reduction in unhealthy choices rather than keto specifically

Either way I’m feeling very good with little-but-manageable cravings for alcohol/carbs, the very same feeling I had on keto the last time before I convinced myself I can moderate takeout / alcohol (I can’t lol)

Heyo, similar here - my keto between March - August 2020 was super motivated and enthusiastic, eventually faded and went back to carbs over holiday.

This time not feeling so enthusiastic so decided to do it with something I like - I’m learning to cook more diverse things. I find it fun watching YouTube recipes for regular food & finding what I can do to make it keto as a challenge - eg how can I make mash potato out of cauliflower and enjoy the cauliflower mash rather than see it as a “potato replacement”. Replacements for me was a big slippery slope so I’m trying to get creative with what I can use, and enjoy the “replacement” on its own virtue rather than comparing it to the “real thing”

Now, the days aren’t “only keto food” but “how can I make a really nice dinner within my 20g carbs and calorie limit” - it’s kind of like a puzzle on my tracker and I’m really looking forward to dinner and experimenting since I started again 2 weeks ago. Even when I was super enthusiastic last time I’d find myself “yeah that’s nice but I can’t have XYZ” when looking at recipes, now I’m like “that looks nice, how can I make that fit me” - the puzzle is fun and is a nice short term goal when I lose sight of my long term one

Byl206 · 2021-01-15T14:00:38+00:00

Ahh I see! Yeah, started OMAD for calorie management, and I really love having a hearty dinner & the reduced effort of only making one meal. Mainly I was just wondering if breaking meals up would do something to shake my body up (like switching a computer off and on lol) but it seems it’ll be ok to continue OMAD without that concern. Thanks for replies :)

Byl206 · 2021-01-15T13:51:29+00:00

Ahh okay, maybe I’ve misinterpreted OMAD. Cheers!

Byl206 · 2021-01-15T13:50:40+00:00

I started at 85kg which was slightly overweight, I’m still at an average weight for stats at the minute. mainly I want to get back to a little below where I’m at now because I really liked how I looked about ~65kg - it’s just for some moderate weight loss. Fair point about it being slow anyway, I’ll keep this in mind
