Hello all I hope all is well. This question isn't aimed at people here. Since being diagnosed with prediabetes and my mum diabtetes we have cut so much food and drink. And trying to make changes.
I started following low carb YouTubers particularly paleo,keto and carnivore. Before I go on I'm neither of them and my mum. We are low carb under 100g sometimes even Way lower. But we aim for 100g of carbs.
Anyway sorry to rumble on. But I've noticed something these YouTube doctors,nutritionists have something in common. Their videos for me promote ALOT of fear and confusion. Everything is bad. And of you are not just eating just meat and avocado you are not doing it right.
This week alone I've been told nuts, most non starchy veg,legumes,seeds,coffee, soya peanut butter, chicken and nut milks and almond flour are bad. And that's just the low carb food. I'm seeing alot of anti veganism and vegetarian. The information is constantly changing and I'm overwhelmed.
I'm even more paranoid then before. And I just wish me and mum don't have to eat food. I'm anxious and constantly ashamed. Everytime I think I'm doing good I read or watch something that makes me feel guilty or anxious. I'm honestly afraid and my mum seems anxious because of me.
Everything seems to be bad. It's got to the point I'm letting food go bad because I'm paranoid.
So omg sorry for the length. How do you all cope ? And what should I do now. I do wonder sometimes what the long term risks is with demonising certan food. Just like meat and fat was heavily criticised and now we have these chronic illnesses. Are we gonna create new illnesses in the future?
I'm just so tired.
If anyone of you are this then wow thank you.
