The more moss was a lie

Since others have shared a lot of recipes, I'm just popping in to say that drinking a lot of water and adding electrolytes is extremely important on this diet. For real, it's not something you wanna FAFO about, because you'll feel like absolute shit.

There are online calculators you can use to input your age, height, weight, etc, and determine how much water you need to drink. Just don't forget the electrolytes!

If it helps, this is what I use (it's a bit cheaper on Amazon but I really like the company so I order direct).

Also, if you want to track your calories/carb intake, I recommend an app called Cronometer (google play link here).

Best of luck! I've been on keto for years now (hopping off now and then around the holidays) and can't recommend it enough.

My doctor said something similar.

But after years of me being on keto, losing 167lbs, having an "absolutely fantastic health record" and the "healthiest bloodwork" he's ever seen (his words), plus significant improvement in mood, memory, and mobility, and a significant reduction/elimination of pain and inflammation, he changed his mind.

He even said that most of the content he had heard or read when saying it was "a bad diet" all those years ago was "completely biased" and "worded very slyly" (also his words). After revisiting those sources, he realized they "weren't actually describing real keto, just people eating a ton of fat" (which is not what keto is), "and crying about how bad fat is" (again, his words... which made me LOL). Also, mega bonus points for him - he actually checked into the sources and found that most of them were funded by the sugar industry.

It takes nothing to realize you're wrong; for some people, it takes a lot to admit it. He had no problem doing so, and even recommends the diet to other patients now.

He was positioned in a safe area, in the open and away from water.

I'm no expert, but that definitely looks like water behind him.

Man that headline made me think people were killing their partners with the goal of getting tougher sentences...

Hahaha my god you should make a collage out of those photos of her, I'd love to see these.

Also, sorry for what you went through. My birth mother is a narcissist, so I can relate. It can be quite liberating to have fun at their expense, though!

  1. Meditating (not very good at it, but getting better and it's seriously helping)
  2. Blocking Reddit on my router, blocking political communities in Lemmy
  3. A consistent, normal sleeping schedule (a bedtime routine is more important than a morning routine, imo)
  4. Yoga every morning to help my body work with me throughout the day
  5. Reading more books
  6. Getting outside more often
  7. Paying closer attention to the thoughts that cross through my mind and stopping them when they're not helpful - this also helped me realize the underlying anxiety that's been with me for who knows how many years
  8. Drinking more water

Edit: Oh I also:

  • Quit drinking alcohol, almost at the 1 year mark
  • Quit smoking weed, almost at 2 months fully sober now

I did these things one at a time, not everything at once. Mostly just sharing what I did here, but if you plan to do the same - listen to yourself. Start with #7 imo so you get a better idea of what you're up against. If it feels like too much, take a step back and slow down. You're not failing when you do this, you're helping your future self not fail entirely.

Edit: facepalm I'm just noticing this is a community for the Boost for Lemmy app, not the official site. Please ignore me.

~~In your account Settings, scroll down to the Languages section and select Undetermined and other languages you'd like to see.~~

~~It's not 100% foolproof, because as others have stated, the language tag isn't required. But it significantly reduced most of the foreign-language posts I was seeing on the All feed, without impacting the feed in a negative way (AFAIK). For the remainders, you can just block the community if needed.~~
