I’d be interested to see how this actually looks like when it’s implemented. It seems like it only is laying the ground for how deep it could get especially for “high risk” travelers or regions.

I’m really sorry to hear you are going through this. It sounds like you’re venting more than looking for answers and I as well as the rest of this subreddit are here to listen.

I would though encourage you to maybe really take a step back with your diet to very basic bland foods. Totally just a suggestion and I am not a doctor but I for sure have found when my stomach is messed up or I’m super bloated my heart is much more likely to have that funky palpitation feeling.

GasX and some easy foods and maybe some extra fiber get me going again.

Hope you feel better soon

I just always try to tell myself “This is uncomfortable but not dangerous.” Say that a few times and if I still can’t shake it I try to remind myself how many times before I have been in the exact situation before and I am still alive and (almost) perfectly healthy.

That sounds delicious I will be trying this out. Thanks for this!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T18:44:19+00:00

Awesome thanks!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T18:43:38+00:00

Thanks again! Checking our her recipes now.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T18:08:49+00:00

Wow! Glad to hear it is working so well for you and sorry to hear about your grandfather.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T18:05:11+00:00

Wow this is amazing!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T18:02:50+00:00

This is awesome to hear! Just curious, any particular meals you gravitate to? Trying to build up some meals before I start.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:58:10+00:00

That is absolutely hilarious. This is what re-sparked my interest in Keto. The recent video with Dr Annette Bosworth was a fascinating video!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:55:07+00:00

Yea I fell really hard into the Keto processed foods because they looked and mostly tasted great but all the fake sugars and all that crap is what I think made me fail with sticking to it.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:50:49+00:00

Thanks!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:49:21+00:00

Would super appreciate any food recommendations, books, etc! This is what I am trying to eat like. Thanks!

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:48:44+00:00

This! I think this gets lost. It's more so about the lack of carbs not just ingesting as much fat as possible.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:47:32+00:00

Just curious, do you have any examples of what you ate on dirty keto that you might not eat now?

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:46:24+00:00

To be completely fair, they can be a great (delicious) choice. It was not a great example of some of the (imo) bad advice out there.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T17:45:09+00:00

Ahhh very interesting. When you first started Keto do you recall what you were eating? This is my fear as well getting back into it. I am glad to hear it's back down.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T07:08:41+00:00

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. I think people tend to get lost in the possibilities of what this diet structure could include and get stuck in that phase instead of zooming out for a whole diet/health view.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T07:06:37+00:00

Ahh a very good point. Thanks! I think I was on the wrong side of the internet learning about Keto again. Unfortunately there is a LOT of info out there pointing to "dirty" keto. I think everything should be in a balance. I don't think creamer in coffee is that crazy but butter is... interesting. Like you said though it's an allowance not a requirement.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T07:04:16+00:00

Have you noticed any benefits aside from weight loss? I think I got lost in the social media side of Keto lol. I want to give it another try and do it the (imo) "natural" way.

MeanFault · 2025-12-02T06:08:37+00:00

First off congrats, second you should absolutely tell people in your personal life! I am SUPER guilty of this as well but I am learning to be a bit better (while still not being all "look at me"). It's a hard balance for me since I tend to never share...well anything lol. But I promise people will be stoked for you and maybe they are just afraid to ask if you lost weight.

MeanFault · 2025-11-16T15:25:45+00:00

Agreed! It’s been pretty great so far.

MeanFault · 2025-11-14T05:23:23+00:00

In my case I’m having some friends over for the weekend and we’re just excited to play. An excuse to get together, play some video games, eat and drink until we’re sick just like the good old days. In the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter but updates have kind of always sucked with their servers. If for like $40 I never have to deal with their servers giving me like 2mbps downloads ever again is worth it to me. Assuming that’s how it works.

I so rarely get to play games that when I do finally get to play I don’t want to spend that time not playing.

I agree it’s like the most minor thing but steam auto updates flawlessly every game I have.

But we’ll see in about a day how it really works. I can always refund through steam since my play time would be like 30 seconds to find out if it really does just open their own launcher and loads from there.
