New pinned tweet. If you want to learn more about my struggle with obesity, hypertension, and depression read below - my journey is ongoing, and helped by all those in the community who have supported me. 🥰❤️.Thank you!.
I have new followers. Let's discuss my prior health history, shall we? .What a fun adventure. From a young age I was interested in gymnastics, swimming, climbing trees, and reading. I was active, and for the most part happy. Here's me in my early years.

@DrCJohns When I was a teenager someone at one of the houses said "Aren't you too old for this?".Really bummed me out. I was depressed at the time and halloween was my favorite holiday. Not even the candy, just walking around and seeing people. Never did it again. Still a vivid memory👎.

Keto is going to look different for different people depending on need:.* Some people have money to buy avocados, ribeye, specialty keto products, sweeteners, coconut oil, etc.* Some people have enough money to buy eggs, tinned fish, frozen veggies, butter, and minced meat.1/n.

The fact that we feed pets that are obligate carnivores anything other than meat absolutely boggles my mind. Then they become obese, diabetic, waste muscle, and ill in a million other ways and we just can't figure out why. It's criminal.

It's not bc I hated myself, or was lazy, or too stupid to do what I was told. It's because I did it (over and over) and it DID NOT WORK. This led to the belief I was broken/lazy/etc when calorie restriction turned to unsustainable hunger and moodswings. I was wrong. It wasn't me.

Yooooooo I don't want to jinx it, but if I lose another 12 lbs (still well within healthy range for my height) I'd be at 100 lbs (~45.5kg) lost from keto over the past four years. I won't be "aiming" for that but if it does happen it'd be real neato 👀.

The more I researched the less zealous I got - I didn't care if other people did keto, or carnivore, I just wanted people to experience what I had - an escape from the depression and pain and shame. I discovered metabolic syndrome was complex, but I did know one thing for certain

Moderation isn't sustainable for everyone. Sometimes exclusion is a net gain. Just bc something is pleasurable doesn't mean it's worth it. My life is not ruined or not worth living bc I choose not to eat certain things. Only I get to decide what trade-offs I make. Thx 4 reading.

If a "fad diet" has been shown to be useful clinically, has scientific research explaining why it works, and is generally reported as well tolerated, effective, safe, and sustainable at what point does it stop being a fad and becomes a viable dietary option? Just curious.

In July '17 I did something I never would have been able to before. I volunteered to help at a large event: ketofest 2017. My mom went with me, my health companion. It was hard work. I was blissfully happy. My mom commented to another staff member it was like I was a new person.

I told myself I'd do it for two months. No cheating, extremely strict. My mom encouraged me not to calorie restrict and to eat when I was hungry. We did it together. We followed a meal plan, we researched, we read, and. were not hungry. We lost weight. We kept going.

People (women especially) eating OMAD on keto or carnivore and accidentally undereating because it's so satiating. Seen many cases of this. Solution is to switch to 2MAD or 3MAD intentionally, eat to satiation each meal. First step is noticing it's an issue in the first place! 😒.

I had never lost weight this effortlessly before. I had to continue. If this was the only thing that worked, I'd do it. No other option. I didn't find it difficult to give up carbs. I never really enjoyed them anyway. I ate them to soothe the hunger and compulsion to eat.

One of the biggest lies I've ever been told is that it's expensive and time consuming to eat healthy. You *can* invest a lot of time and money into a healthy lifestyle if you want to, but it's not a necessity. You could eat 100% beef hotdogs and eggs and rid yourself of many ills.

Oh if only there were an animal that produced dairy, was usable for meat, AND worked as both a carbon sink and helped replenish soil and could be used as part of a lifestyle to ease the burden of medical care as well. Oh geez, I dunno, I'm stumped. Any ideas @GrassBased?.

I used to muffintop out of these a few months ago. I thought maybe they'd grown in the wash or something, but the measuring tape verifies I shrunk, somehow. Not skinny by any definition, but much leaner than I used to be, for sure. Maybe it was all the hugs at ketofest? 🤔

The longest fast I've ever done was 7 days, I had water, electrolytes, and coffee (?) but no food/calories. Despite feeling totally normal during, here's why I wouldn't do it again recreationally (barring experiments).1) Saw no benefit over normal carnivory.2) It was hella boring.

I developed depression when v active w gymnastics, swimming, etc. Took up running some years later — still depressed. Sugar/carbs may work to numb but for me can trigger symptoms or exacerbate. NOT an anti-depressant. Meanwhile, keto completely rids me of all symptoms. 🤔.
The most heavily abused anti-depressant? Food (in particular, processed carbs & sugar). The most under-utilized anti-depressant? Exercise. #depression #mentalhealth #facts #truthbomb.
