Trying to improve my life and heal my schizophrenia through a ketogenic diet. My story isn’t over yet but people tell me I’m unrecognizable.
Joined October 2023
In 2012 I lost 80lbs. doing Jenny Craig with exercise and saw no mental health improvements. BUT...... In 2020 I started eating a low carb/ low sugar diet with exercise and intermittent fasting. I lost 136lbs and saw my schizophrenia improve for the first time in 13 years.

@GastricpH My thyroid, estrogen and progesterone were all off. I was hyperthyroid and had too much estrogen and progesterone. Did you also experience your hormones being off?

@Laura__J__ I didn’t know about all the medication side effects I was experiencing. Many patients dont. Anytime I brought that subject up to my psychiatrist I was dismissed.

Sound advice.
“You should never fail twice for the same reason” is great advice for people who are struggling to get their health and weight under control.

@BTexas1969 @fiapsa @juniorwoodchuk I agree with the thyroid needing to be checked. It’s not just hypothyroidism that causes weight gain either. Hyperthyroidism can cause increased hunger.

@Health100_ You’re welcome. I actually read somewhere that how the chickens are kept makes a difference in how inflammatory their meat will be. Switching to free range chicken might help you. It has much lower omega 6’s.

Looks like I need to check my heavy cream ingredients….. I don’t need anything worsening my insulin resistance.
I’m curious how many people have issues with carrageenan. There’s some evidence it can contribute to gut inflammation and insulin resistance in higher doses.

Hi-intensity exercise does deplete my glycogen stores but unfortunately in my own experience this will then elevate my cortisol which causes a temporary increase in my glucose. When my glucose is elevated it means my ketones can drop. Low ketones mean I can have symptoms of my schizophrenia. I know hi- intensity exercise has its benefits though.

@johntyler0523 @MelissalM @GeorgiaEdeMD @ChrisPalmerMD @Metabolic_Mind I recently spoke about my struggles and the benefits of implementing a ketogenic diet in my life. Ignore my red blotchy chest I had just found out I was hyperthyroid again.

I eat 3-10 net carbs a day currently. I cut this recently from 20 to see if it would improve my withdrawal symptoms or raise my low ferritin levels. As for protein I eat about 70-80 grams of protein. I recommend working with a dietitian that specializes in metabolic psychiatry. They have lots of helpful information they can provide. @KetoPotterRDN
