(Anonymous) 2018-11-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)You might be getting it confused with ketoacidosis, which is very serious and very dangerous only really happens to T1 diabetics who shouldn't be doing keto anyway without a doctor's supervision. If you're not a T1 diabetic, keto is perfectly healthy for you.
Keto was originally developed to treat epilepsy, yes. And it does so with a very good success rate. That being said, medical keto and dietary keto are two different diets as medical keto must be rigorously conformed to certain percentages of micro-nutrients and their protein/fat/carb ratios must be spot on at all times. Dietary keto is much less strict, and is only really concerned with limiting your carb intake in order to reach a state of ketosis. The exact percentages of fats and proteins are not a concern in regular dietary keto the way they are for someone using it to treat epilepsy.
You do you, of course, and eat the way that makes you feel healthy! I just wanted to clear up some (very common) misconceptions people have about keto.

(Anonymous) 2018-11-17 02:03 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, they obviously are misinformed. You make a good point, maybe they're confusing it with ketoacidosis or something, who knows. And I mean, if they just don't want to do it that's fine, but it annoys me that they're saying it's dangerous when they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
Re: Weight/diet tw
(Anonymous) 2018-11-17 02:37 am (UTC)(link)I dunno if it’s possible to have diet-related PTSD, but I grew up not allowed white sugar, white flour, or processed anything, and finally being able to eat whatever I wanted without being yelled at and having my sugary/greasy contraband dumped in the trash was like reaching the promised land.
Eating nothing but veggies, beans, brown rice, tofu, whole grain bread (often sprouted), small amounts of organic, free range (before either was a buzzword) meat, eggs and dairy, and fruit, with soy sauce instead of salt, honey as my only sweetener, nutritional yeast, alfalfa sprouts, and spirulina as garnishes, and carob powder instead of cocoa really did a number on me. My dad would disrupt girl scout meetings to throw away our spaghetti dinners, fed me adult vitamins until I barfed, lurk in the bushes outside restaurants... As soon as I could I went off healthy food the way religious fundies fleeing opressive upbringings become atheists.
But it’s not like I forgot how to cook that way and if I really wanted to keep eating like a horse I could stop taking public transit and bike everywhere instead like I usually had to as a kid (because cars and fossil fuels are almost as evil as white sugar.)
But like fuck am I giving up chocolate. I’ll just stick to the good stuff.
