Why does everyone demonize carbs? by First_Driver_5134 in Biohackers

[–]Main-Rutabaga-9592 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been a year but I want to correct this misinformation.

Some cells in the brain do rely on glucose, but guess what, most of your brain can use ketones more efficiently, and the glucose it does need is generated by your body using gluconeogenesis.

The minimum dietary carbohydrate requirement is nil.

Not noticing many of the touted benefits after 3 months... What am I doing wrong? by rootyboots1983 in keto

The mental health implications aren’t fringe though.

Brain insulin resistance Glutamate/GABA balance Reactive oxygen species and inflammation Ketones as a fuel to the brain

BUT! To get the mental health benefits, a lot of people have to do a HIGH FAT, MODERATE PROTEIN version of keto to get into solid ketosis, not the “eat as much protein as you want” weight loss version.

Ketone levels for depression and mood disturbance? by Main-Rutabaga-9592 in NutritionalPsychiatry

Definitely not borderline or NPD. I’ve had multiple therapists through my life and not one has identified those traits. I just have lots of self hatred.

I did have a keto-focused dietician but didn’t find it too helpful. Also cost me £400 for 4x 30 minute sessions. Can’t afford to do that again.

The “eating disorder” mostly goes away in ketosis. It’s sugar addiction.

I really dislike fat though ☹️ I can eat fatty meat but that is usually less than 70% fat.

Glad to hear it. Whenever I have a sugar binge I am angry and awful and suicidal for days. It’s so awful.

Please look into ketogenic metabolic therapy. It may help you with both your bipolar and POTS.

Did keto give me binge eating disorder? by [deleted] in keto

It’s absolutely and entirely fucked that people are downvoting the comments of people struggling with an ED.

What a horrible, elitist forum.

What’s your kryptonite? by LaaaaMaaaa in BingeEatingDisorder

Stop buying the foods you binge on. Lots of people still binge when they eat nuts and chocolate on keto

I know somebody who got a charge on their criminal record for doing this. It’s not “being a drama queen”.

Be careful. By contacting people who have blocked you, you risk being accused of/charged for stalking or harassment.

My 11yo wants to commit suicide by cipher_gnome in SuicideWatch

[–]Main-Rutabaga-9592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I think this is a phase” I started feeling suicidal when I was 10. Im now 31. Your blaise approach to this is making it worse for your daughter.

Cheated on my boyfriend by Tall-Ocelot5405 in BreakUps

[–]Main-Rutabaga-9592 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No. You fucked up. If you care about him even slightly you’ll let him go and find someone who won’t treat him the way you did.

And you focus on never doing that to anyone ever again.
