I started a keto diet because my doctor recommended limiting sugar, and I can't do moderation. I'd rather have no carbs at all (well, 20 grams of carbs a day). There are pilot studies showing keto can be good for bipolar, so I'm kind of excited to see what it does for me. So far, so good, but I'm only 2 weeks in. Wish me luck!

I hope it works for you! I did a year or so of keto to lose weight and I felt great. Unfortunately I Iost too much weight and I've been struggling to find a good dietary balance ever since.

Glad to hear it worked for you, but it really sucks you can’t find what works now! I hope you find something that keeps you balanced and well-nourished.
