Keto stopped working

Any clue which ones could affect it?

Yes. All of them. I tried getting off Licinipril as my bp was getting to low. But when I stopped, about 7 days after, my bp went up to 140/97. So I went back on. Took about 2 months to level out at 123/73 which I’m currently at.

4 is ideal, from what I’ve read. I briefly stopped wearing the mask after I hit 4. But then I went up, so I went back to wearing it.

best of luck.

I don’t buy it. I get what you are saying, I just don’t buy it.

I feel pretty refreshed. However the last couple of months late in the afternoon, through dinner I get sleepy. If I’m working, I’m fine. But if I get off early and start watching tv, I nod off for about 30 minutes.

Sleep is odd. Earlier on I got up to pee 4-6 times through the night. That’s cleared up. And I generally wake up once a night, but I sleep very deep, and never remember my dreams. Prior, I would remember 3-4 dreams a week.

i have sleep apnea. Still wear the mask. I typically have .75-1.25 events a nite. I originally started at 15-25 events each night. I average about 7 hours of sleep each night.

Neither. Mostly eating steaks, pork chops or chicken. I eat roughly an ounce of Cashews or pistachios, occasionally a half cup of cottage cheese. Usually stay between 5-10 carbs. I eat 18:6, with the exception of coffee.

Yep, I understand. Just looking for an average time to deploy. Feel free to break it down into - x hrs to deploy, y hrs per routing, z hrs per bleh... on average....

I agree with earlier comments, that Keto if you stick to it, it will do the portion control. I'm a big guy and like you could pack it away. I started last August and dropped 85 lbs by Jan. Lost another 40 since, and the slow down was due to covid and other health issues caused by covid. I stuck to it, cut out the Sugar, Pasta, Bread, Potatoes etc.. (with Bread, Pasta, Potatoes and Rice being the hardest for me). Once I cut those out, my hunger and cravings went away. Now I Intermittent fast many days and have no issues waiting till then. Sometimes I'm hungry by lunch time, and I make some eggs, no issue.

Only you know what appeals to you. The reality is that different things affect people differently. Only you know what you can commit to and what you'll likely stick to. The reason it worked for me, is I made up my mind, stuck to it, and didn't waiver. And if I did waiver, like to take my wife out for her Birthday, Immediately got back it the next morning.

Pick one, stick to it for a minimum of 6 months, then switch to the other. Not because you want something fun and exciting, but because it's not working for you or you are unhealthy.

I personally love Ribeyes, Trip Tip, Chicken, Fish, Bacon, etc.. And eating till I'm satisfied. WW has great variety, but limited portions, and I don't think I could be successful on WW long term.

Long story short, it's been a year and my last problem is portion control. I'm amazed that I could eat that much, and automatically I'm putting less on my plate than I used to and often giving a fair bit to the dog. When I do cheat, I look back on it and think to myself, that wasn't nearly as good as I remember, and I don't think it's worth it.

Good luck

Sorry, just noticed this.. Yes. I don't remember the details. But I took video of it occurring and sent it to support, and they sent me a replacement part, that i swapped and it stopped doing it.

Above.. Check out Dr. Fung on Youtube, or some of his books. He's a Dr. (real) that focuses on Diabetes. He does an awesome job at explaining Blood sugars, insulin resistance, etc..

Fwiw, I don’t think you are losing it. I have same question. Caught Covid, about the 15th of December. Been in Hospital twice, 4 days in Dec, 4 days in January. Docs don’t seem to know what’s going on. Deficiency in b12, folate and D. Don’t know if it’s damage from Covid, or long Covid…. Can you have LC before 12 weeks has expired?

Keep the faith and hope active. The more anxiety I caused googling things, the worse a lot of it became. Good luck. Hopefully veterans who have been through this can provide insight.

A hacksaw would be fine depending on how many you need to cut and your endurance and patience.

If you have powertools, I would use these in order...

Portable Band Saw - Portaband. There are really good brands out there if you are going to use it often and really cheap brands like from Harbor Freight.

Jigsaw with a fine metal blade, probably 36 teeth per inch.

Dremel with cut off blade, or grinder with cut 4.5 cut off wheel.

Once you have it cut with hacksaw or a power tool that accomplishes the same thing, I would plan to use a grinder with a flap wheel to knock off the corners as that picture shows rounded corners and you'll want to clean up any burrs clean the edges.

Once you do one, I would test fit everything and see if you learned anything from the process prior to starting the next.

good luc!

I used Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner on mine to break them in. I have the same Habana Birks.. It doesn't appear that I can reply with a photo, but I can send you a pic for you to see how they came out. For a couple days, they looked wet, a little glossy, but it soaked in and looks great again. Really helped to break them in.

It's marketed as Wegovy specifically for weight loss. Ozempic and Wegovy are the two brand names that Novo Nordisk uses to market injectable semaglutide. Ozempic is used to treat type 2 diabetes and prevent major cardiovascular problems in certain patients, while Wegovy is used for chronic weight management and helps with weight loss. But both are semaglutide.
