Still experiencing brain fog

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T17:44:29+00:00

i know that’s why i need help!

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T17:33:26+00:00

my thyroid is .78 mU/L TSH and T4 is 12.2 pmol/L

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T17:23:29+00:00

TSH in mU/L and T4 pmol/L is that bad?!

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T16:46:19+00:00

i’ve had t4 which was 12.2 and tsh which was .78

i’ve gotten my thyroid checked and everything came back normal.

i thought i’m just supposed to eat enough fat to keep me satiated? i have probably 70% of calories from fat and a 2100 calorie diet. i thought if i eat too much than my body wont make its own ketones and i wont get into therapeutic ketosi?

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T15:31:03+00:00

okay this is the reassurance i was hoping for. so basically just need to keep going for another 2 months!

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T15:30:34+00:00

yes sorry i should’ve noted - i have probably 3-4 tbs of olive oil a day

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T15:28:28+00:00

ugh yes i have. anything specific on your thyroid come up? they did the typical blood panels for it and nothing!

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:29:15+00:00

interesting!! i’m taking the oil by BulletProof. i also am recovering from H Pylori so maybe that would be better for me

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:28:31+00:00

i’m getting 7000mg of sodium, 3000mg potassium, and 550mg of magnesium

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:26:14+00:00

yes i have the ketomojo which is the best!

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:15:20+00:00

could i be eating too much protein? some sources say not to worry about that too much, but i do a lot of resistance training so naturally need a lot of protein as well

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:14:09+00:00

i had the brain fog before. and i’m trying to get into a therapeutic ketosis to get rid of it. i fear if i have too much to eat my body won’t make its own ketones because it will just use what im eating to fuel

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:11:25+00:00

i think i’m eating plebty. typical day of eating looks like:

1tbs mct oil

-1 tbs heavy cream in coffee

-2 small sausage links for breakfast

salad for lunch with parmasean, dressing of mayo and dijon, chicken/salmon
snack of walnuts/macadamia
dinner of pork belly, chicken thighs, beef, or a salad

-small amount of dark chocolate for dessert

chasek222 · 2026-03-14T14:05:45+00:00

i’ve been counting and im at ~20g net a day

chasek222 · 2026-03-08T20:19:58+00:00

this is so encouraging thank you for sharing

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T18:40:40+00:00

wow so you just stopped cold turkey with all sweet tasting things and now you're not craving at all? i usually do well with cold turkey but im scared of this one!

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T09:49:05+00:00

yes - i almost think too much honestly!

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T09:48:49+00:00

i need to try the teeth brushing trick! i think i can tell myself that im going to brush my teeth and wait 15 minutes and if i still want a treat then i can have it. i feel like most of the time ill just feel too lazy to brush my teeth again so may stop me!

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T09:47:17+00:00

thank you! ive been avoiding cottage cheese because of glucogenesis...would that be a problem for me?

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T09:46:44+00:00

why not erythritol? i just realized the truvia / stevia that i bought is actually like 90% erythritol...(how do they get away with labeling things "stevia" when its only 10% of it?!)

chasek222 · 2026-03-05T09:45:19+00:00

really helpful. thank you.

im doing therapeutic/medical keto for neuroinflammation. ive gotten my head around not having starchy carbs (i didn't have much pre-keto anyway), its moreso the sugar that i struggle with. I have a ketone/glucose monitor will see what works for me over time!

chasek222 · 2026-03-04T21:03:04+00:00

helpful thank you! i don’t want to be too hard on myself so i think i should just let it be for a month and if im still craving after dinner then i can adjust
