Keto Diet And Mental Health Benefits

I kind of follow a low-carb diet that I think is basically what Keto is.
I've been doing this for about three years now. It seems to work well for me because it stops my cravings for sweets. Plus, I lost quite a bit of weight on it. Maintaining the weight loss feels easier when I stick with it. Oveer the last few months, though, I've kind of let up a little-my portions got a bit bigger, so I need to tighten things back up.
I definitely feel healthier since starting this diet. Usually, I can't stick to diets for long, but once the first couple of weeks were over with Keto, it became easier because my cravings werent' as strong. Of course, it does take some determination and finding ways to keep motivated. I also started walking a bit more recently.
I really enjoy eating meat, fish, cheese, eggs, so this diet fits me well too.

Feeling better physically helps mentally

Does it improve your mental well-being?

I guess it helps me because it sets a mindset and a goal, you know? Feeliing healthier makes me feel better about myself, I think. And maybe having a slimmer body means being healthier too

Have you attempted to reduce or stop taking medication?

nah i've had a really bad yr lol. thx tho, feelin better irl but still need the meds rn. keto helps but ain't enough to go off meds imo. only ur doc can tell u that cuz it depends on wht u r takin. hope things get bettr for u c:

You're welcome.

Hey,

I didn't get any professional help for this, honestly-I just looked stuff up online myself. It's probably a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting any kind of diet to mke sure it's right for you.

There's tons of info out there on keto or low-carb diets. I pretty much stick to chicken and fish, plus cheese and eggs. No bread, pasta, or potatoes, though-that can be tough at first, but I'm used to it now.

You should definitely check out all the stuff online-three are so many recipes and tips floating around.

I'm on keto right now, and yeah, it can be a bit tricky with the lack of veggies and fruits. You do end up eating a lot more meat, which might make you wonder if it could lead to some tummy troubles like constipation

Yeah, keto helped my ADHD big time. My PMDD vanished too. It's a godsend.

Got stuff on keto for mental health if you need it. Let me know.

Sure thing! International stuff can be a pain honestly, but I'll do what I can for ya-thanks!

I'll definitely send you a message really soon, i guess.
