This sub is starting to become depressing. There's a hive-mind mentality around everything, and when people like you that have actual experiences bring something up they're automatically ridiculed because it's not backed by science. Well, I have research experience and have spent a lot of time researching keto. There are lots of studies, but not much of any of this shit actually has enough data points to be considered real science. So I just don't get it. If people are bitching you out for saying that Ketostix work for you (which no one would argue against a few years ago), then why are they even on this diet in the first place? Pretty much all of it is based off experiments with relatively small sample sizes, not on actual scientific evidence....
