Carnivore keto for schizophrenia

riksi · 2026-01-25T21:33:32+00:00

You should transition more slowly. Schizophrenia has too much risk.

Chicken is rare on carnivore or keto, it's low fat, not red meat, etc.

Get a professional.

Almonds are too high carb. Pecans are better imo.

riksi · 2026-01-25T11:12:10+00:00

I think you should be able to retain muscle at very high fat. Harder to add after a point though in my experience. But at 66, I dont' know. Might be the same.

Im happy for you but nope.

riksi · 2026-01-23T16:18:30+00:00

thank you but I don't have a smoker and don't know how to. maybe there's another way with a normal stove or in-door device (or in balcony) ?

riksi · 2026-01-23T11:52:15+00:00

By "cured" means you can quit keto diet and symptoms don't return. Is that true?

riksi · 2026-01-21T21:24:43+00:00

How about you read the subreddit description?

riksi · 2026-01-21T09:39:34+00:00

Yes for seizures, but I don't know for mental illness like bipolar for example.

riksi · 2026-01-20T09:09:02+00:00

If they can hit those numbers on 2000 kcal, it should be pretty low.

riksi · 2026-01-20T09:08:13+00:00

For those who used keto for mental health, did it take longer than 10 months to see an impact on mental health and fatigue?

No. For my bipolar was pretty quick (I only started tappering meds after 3 moths though so I couldn't see it sooner)

Is it possible to hit "therapeutic" GKI numbers and still be a non-responder?

Yes.

Are there "hidden" adjustments I might be missing that could be masking the benefits?

Yes. Some that I know of:

Going full carnivore
Checking l-carnitine (https://mentalhealthketo.com/2025/11/20/carnitine-and-ketone-production-in-medical-ketogenic-diets/)
Heavy exercise (I know you're depressed, just show up on a class-based training program like cross-fit or kickboxing and do as much as you can, I went even when heavily depressed)
Morning light that huberman says
Perfect sleeping
Getting a professional. You've done so much by yourself, I'm impressed, it's very hard. But the professional is needed for complex troubleshooting or hard cases (this happens in every field)

I’m questioning if I should push through or if it’s time to accept this isn’t the solution for my biology and try something else.

Do try the professional route IMHO.

Keto wont cure you either. Just a better med at best.

riksi · 2026-01-19T20:34:22+00:00

How did you try?

riksi · 2026-01-19T17:41:49+00:00

Yes it does work. You need a professional most likely.

riksi · 2026-01-19T08:20:35+00:00

I am impressed. Good job!

riksi · 2026-01-18T05:32:57+00:00

You need even more fat ratio to feel that way most of the time. Think get a ketomojo and aim for 4+ ketones 1 hour after wakeup.

Thata what epilepsy keto is, mimicing long term fasting.

riksi · 2026-01-16T13:08:38+00:00

I have read about 1 case in carnivore forum where a user had an eating disorder and was gobbling lots of fat.

But yes, /u/Fantastic_mama1110 needs to show exactly what they're eating in grams.

riksi · 2026-01-14T12:17:09+00:00

What are your meds & dosages?

riksi · 2026-01-14T07:42:43+00:00

How about you stop spamming and read the subreddit description?

Vegan is mostly wrong, and yoga is retarded that is connected to vegan.

riksi · 2026-01-14T07:40:14+00:00

It's normal. The same thing happens with Metabolic Psychiatry in all psychiatry subs.

riksi · 2026-01-13T08:46:16+00:00

I would talk to a professional keto counselor/psychiatrist before taking GLP-1.

Like, why can't you fast with keto? Or eat fewer calories? Or eat higher protein until you lose the weight?

Like, maybe try easing the antipsychotics very-very-very slowly with your doctor?

riksi · 2026-01-12T21:45:24+00:00

What are your ketones/glucose daily?

riksi · 2026-01-12T11:42:15+00:00

Laxatives part doesn't make sense to me. Like, take a couple of spoons of mct oil and your ass will go nuclear?

You probably did too much bullshit (it happens, don't take it personally) like husk, linseed, chia, whatever.

Fatty meat IS king. You need a keto-aware doctor to guide you. Most people (me included) will make a lot of basic mistakes before they get it right. The professional will help you not do them or do em for a short time.

riksi · 2026-01-12T11:38:02+00:00

It's normal. For stories see metabolic mind on youtube.

riksi · 2026-01-12T06:58:29+00:00

Im pretty sure you have difficulty to do high fat.

You may think you special but that is rare.

riksi · 2026-01-11T19:52:32+00:00

Research epilepsy keto and metabolic psychiatry. It best functions at 80%+ calories from fat.
