When people indulge and then go really strict again and get withdrawals do you find that you can seriously very very bad mood swings?
Last week I was just angry this week I’m just bursting into tears constantly.
It is coming up to my 3 year anniversary in august so don’t know if I’m struggling with all that a bit.
I’m ending up cheating just to stop the swings (although that hasn’t worked today)

I'm not really able to give you any advice from experience, as I simply don't do that, I stick to the diet I sorted out for myself. I do wonder if it might be something to speak to your dr about, as life eating low carb has been very tranquil for me.

I’m 49
I suspect I may be peri menopausal but last time I had blood tests Dr said it was normal.
But there’s been a definite shift since I had second jab. problem is I know blood tests are unreliable as Dr told me but she seems to rely on them.
I was hoping it might be due to keto snd sugar because it’s a nightmare trying to get appt

Are you taking anything to lower cholesterol?
Our hormone levels are closely linked to the availability of cholesterol to make them.
