I'm having a terrible time, with strange symptoms that I'm trying to get to the bottom of. Basically, up to 6 weeks ago I was a normal, stable and happy person. I then cut down on my calories after having been a massive overeater, and since then I have been all over the place emotionally...

That's great.

A lot of keto forums talk about the need to eat regularly at first, and I was wondering what, if anything this actually achieve s given that the aim is to use our own fat. Is eating a piece of fat better than simply not eating in the short term, is there any short term advantage to eating that...

I know this came across a little stupid, but I haven't explained myself very well. I mean more in terms of on a day to day basis. Obviously we need to replace the fat/vitamins etc, but when we eat our meals every day, does it serve any purpose other than the replacement of that fat. Does it then...

This may seem like a silly question, but if the point of a low carb diet is to live off our own fat for energy, why do we eat at all? What benefit is there in it?

Thanks!

I didn't test it at the start, maybe after around 15 mins. Although 5.5 isn't classed as hypo levels, it is to me, as my body is used to running on much higher levels due to years of overeating. I'm sure it was my body desperate for more sugar, creating the adrenaline. I could feel it in my body...

I had a completely unexpected panic attack today, I think because of perceived low blood sugar or reactive hypoglycemia. During this attack my blood sugar rose from 5.5 to 6.5. My question is do all panic attacks raise blood sugar, or is this a case of my body trying to raise what it perceives...

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but anyway. If a person eats pure sugar, say in the form of a glucose tablet, I understand that it goes quickly into the blood stream. Presumaby the body has to do very little to process it, (although obviously insulin will rise.)...

Thanks for your advice everyone. I'm kind of being forced into low carb by some strange but powerful symptoms I get every time I eat any form of carbohdrate. I have been testing myself with different foods over the last few weeks and recording the results, and it looks like carbs are going to be...

Okay, thanks

I started Keto for 3 days last week then gave up. Around those three days I had basically been eating less carbs. So youu advice very little food even fats?

When I'm going keto it's nuts, cheese, meats and fish and avacardo. I eat a small meal around every 4 hours.

What carbs do you eat in a day now?

Both. For the last few weeks I have had very little carbs because they have affected me so badly. I got into ketosis quite easily, it just didn't go well once I got there.

The last month I have cut down on calories massively. I entered Keto fairly easily after 3 days, but it was agony for my brain and body from then. I was wondering what other people's experiences were.

Hi. Last week I tried Keto. After 3 days I entered ketosis, I could tell by my breath and also I have some test strips. However, that was as far as I could get, the rest was a nightmare in terms of how I felt. How long did it take you all to adjust to keto from when you first started actual ketosis?

I haven't watched it all, but what I've seen is very interesting, thanks.

Thanks
