[QUOTE="Tony4456, post: 2512103, member: 555338"] Looking back now I absolutely blame the dinner, I ate mashed potato and some dessert after keto but obv I didnt know at the time it was RH cus its never happened in my life and im 34, I just thought it was now getting use to running on fat and didnt like the change so quickly. The timing could of course be a freak coincidence but I highly doubt it. I felt fine in myself before lowering carbs. I took carbs out and tbh I felt good, I was exercising daily and felt energised and was fasting 16 hours a day no problem, didnt particularly enjoy the diet as Im not a big meat guy but my body clearly didnt mind it as its refusing to go back. I also read on a keto forum that the body can mimic diabetes or glucose sparing and make itself insulin resistant to make sure your muscles dont use what little glucose you have and instead saves it for your brain. Ive also read in places that if you improve your insulin sensitivity you can improve RH but others seem to suggest its just stuck with you. I can eat a good 150g of complex carbs a day as long as I spread it out without having a hypo but even without the hypos I feel really fatigued, muscle weakness, eyes feel strange, headaches etc. I am going to follow up with my GP when he comes back off holiday cus the locum just told me to stop eating junk and get on with it but im really not happy with that as a diagnosis [/QUOTE]
