[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2382319, member: 501623"] Keto feels harsh to me too when I get symptoms like the ones the OP mentions. I feel being in ketosis amplifies things somehow - greater energy during the day, which can be put to good use, but nervous energy at night. It could be down to other lifestyle factors as well that I could change that might make being in ketosis more comfortable, once the deficiencies are dealt with. Personally I don't do enough physical exercise and spend too much time on this screen at night, so that probably adds to the problem. But as far as being able to adapt to a single ingredient meal, I think if you are able to do it, you have extra willpower that an ordinary person might not have. I never considered my previous eating habits as being a food addiction. Most of my life I was never overweight, yet I know that the carbs I was eating were actually something that I was addicted to (sweet tooth related), and overcoming addiction is not something that everyone manages to achieve, although we should never give up trying I guess. I do manage to have single ingredient breakfasts of just eggs, or just a scotch fillet steak, so I know I can do it sometimes, but for every meal, for the rest of my life?? Not sure, maybe I would need that kick up the bum diagnosis to get me there. Food has so much to do with culture, so it's like you are stepping out of life to eat differently from most other people. But when you realise your culture is what's killing you, then stepping away is what you have to do, right? Sometimes I have to stop myself now from approaching strangers to talk to them about what they are putting into their mouths. If only they knew! And if they do know and are still eating like that, well, you can't save them, can you? [/QUOTE]
